I met up with my (cool) cousin this weekend, who happens to be in the beer business in Bolder, and she strongly encouraged me to attend the GABF next week, She's pretty well connected and promised to show me around and get me into the better after-hours (and give me a free place to crash.)
It's last minute, so it's huge long shot for me. But I was curious if anyone from Chaos was going and if there was an official presence there?
Yep, it's been awhile. Oh, you know, life and such. Anyway...need to get back to brewing.
1) I think I need to re-up my paperwork (though, my dues I think are still good). What paperwork do I need to sign...would like to brew Saturday if I can.
This is didn't work out last I tried to set this up, since it is starting to get cold out again, I thought I would see if anyone was interested tn getting a Chaos Wool Bike Jersey (or Sweater). If we can get 18 people or more to order one, we can maybe get the price around $85 or so. Here are some mock ups I made. Let me know which one you like best or if you have any ideas.
I believe it was discussed previously that for Stout Night our Brew School Series would be Wood Shop, which would entail brewing identical batches and aging them on different woods. This seems like a great job for the Tower of Power. It also seems like this is gonna take some time to do right, so I figured I start the conversation now. I recall Dave Williams mentioning he had a wood hookup, or he would place the order for spirals and honeycombs, I don't remember.
We receieved the following e-mail from Rock Bottom. If anyone is interested, please e-mail Jacqueline directly. Hope some CHAOS folks take advantage of this!
Last night I let one of the big orange extension chords get too close to the burner in Brew Bay 4 last night and melted some of the plastic sheath. In the interest of safety I think we shouldn't be using it anymore.
I scavenged a replacement power strip from somewhere around the brewhouse and I'll be getting a replacement chord next time I drop by.
October 21 we'll host brewer and writer Randy Mosher (5 Rabbits, Radical Brewing, Brewer's Companion) to lead a workshop at the Brewhouse called Recipes From the Inside Out. This will be similar to a talk he gave at National Homebrewers Conference, which I heard good things about.
Calendar Event - Please RSVP here if you plan to attend.
