Rick here with a quick "Thank You" to the participants, assistants,
onlookers, food and beverage providers, and brewers at our Big Brew
event. If I left a category out, please add it in. The event went very
well although Mr. and Mrs. Yours Truly were a little busy. The shared
food was excellent as always. I think we heated about 80 gallons of
water in the basement and the kitchen and likely produced just as much
bitter wort in the back yard.
We hope you had a good time and learned a bit or met a few folks. I
learned a bunch about that monster-mash system and think the owners may
allow us to possibly use this equipment at future events! Personally, I
really like the way it shows off the simplicity of all grain brewing and
enjoyed the "J" stroke needed when mixing the mash.
The only thing we discovered is a spare rectangular Pyrex container and
white cover. Send me an e-mail and I will send you the container.
What I forgot to do was to tally up all the brews and enter them into
the internet site. If you could be so kind, please send me a message
about your total volume.
Thanks again for your participation and for ordering up such great
weather.
Sincerely,
Rick Oftel
MHBA Brewer at Large
