You guys are really getting nasty now.
It appears that MHBA club interest in bitter wort has again outstripped
our supply of three 40 gallon batches even when we planned to brew heavy
and dilute to appropriate gravity.
With this in mind and after all of the setup that is occurring, we do
have the option of making a fourth 40 gallon batch of something.
One club member has volunteered to bring about 80 additional pounds of 2
row base malt. The equipment isn't going anywhere that afternoon so if
someone wants to come forward and volunteer a recipe, you guys are
brewing batch #4.
Possibly another batch of wheat? Possibly a Porter? Maybe another
American IPA? The good thing is with two complete systems and separate
hot water stations, you can easily overlap operations without having to
brew late into the evening.
The first three batches will pretty much wipe out my supply of English
type hops. Let me know your thoughts about batch #4.
BTW, we are hoping to start the batches at 9, 10, 1, and possibly at 2.
They would finish at 1,2,5, and 6. Maybe we should add an hour for
maintenance.
One last question for the club. Does anyone know a hog farmer that
would be interested in about 400 pounds of spent grist? Anyone
interested in starting a great compost pile?
