[Homebrewers] Port Porter Brew Day

[Andrew Van Zant]

Does anyone know if the pump is not working on the BBS?  Should we just buy a new pump?  If the BBS is out, I can brew 2 days of double batches. Or, anyone who can help brew w/their systems for ALL grains.  If not, I would have to forgo this, as it is too costly just for me.   Also, I would need about 10 carboys for 1 & 2 fermentations about 2 weeks... any givers? 
  
Thanks!
Andrew

  Andrew, I would be interested for sure. Sounds like a
fun project. Unfortunately, timing may be bad. I could
help out some on Saturday, but not at all on Sunday.

Also, I heard the BBS needs work as one of the pumps
is not working?

Any chance you can obtain the barrel, then plan the
brew for another time?
