[Homebrewers] Port Porter Brew Day

[Seeley, Steve E]

Hi Glen,

	I can spare a couple of hours this weekend to work on the BBS
pump.  Do you want to help?  We could also assesses what it will take to
bypass the heat exchanger and plumb in the counter flow chiller!

Hi Andrew,

	Sorry I haven't responded yet but I'm on the digest version of
this mail list and didn't receive this until today.

	You can bung-up the port barrel and let it set a month or two if
needed without it really shrinking to the point of leaking.

	I'm not going to be able to brew this weekend.  I do have a 15.5
gallon sanky keg and 15 gallon LME barrel I use as fermentors.  We can
use these for this project.  In fact if other participants have sanky
kegs it will not take as many fermentors to get the job done.

Questions:
1.) Do you have a 65-68 degF environment for all of these fermentors?
2.) Should we get large quantities of yeast from Sac Brewing?  Anyone
have connections?

... Steve
