[Homebrewers] Port Porter Brew Day

Tue Nov 28 13:41:47 CST 2006

I can brew without the BBS this weekend, I will just have to do double batches both days.  What I really need to know then is if anyone wants to buy in shares or has any carboys, I need about 10 carboys to make this all happen.  I am sorry it is short notice.  I can give you my phone # and address if anyone is interested in coming by to check it out.  If you could please get back to me by the end of the day, that will let me know if this project is a go.  

  Thanks!

Apparently it’s not too hard to take apart but I haven’t done it yet. It probably is not fried but more likely has an impeller stuck. My 12.2 conical is available and possibly a carboy. Wine season takes up a lot of carboys. 

  I’d love to be a part of the project but I’m not available this weekend to brew. We’d probably have to get the pump figured out this weekend and brew the next unless people are available to go up to MGF and check it out during the week.

    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, 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?
