[COHO] Big brew

[brett thomas]

MessageI just want to throw out a big COHO thank you to Gary (and his wife) for being such a gracious host (again), and also a pre-thank you for welcoming our barrel into your cellar.  It was really great to see everyone's systems in action, and the diversity in brewing techniques.  I think that we're going to end up with some outstanding beer, about 8 months from now.  Everyone did such a great job, thanks to all who participated.

Gary - let me know if those last two beers don't take off in the next day or so, and I'll take some action to correct the situation.  I think your line of thought for raising the temperature is the right way to go.  Those super high gravity beers are notoriously slow starters.

  A few photos attached of the big event yesterday.

  I inherited the following:  a wort chiller, a "Mr. Heater", one gas hose with regulator, 2' copper tubing with 90 elbow; one sterilite plastic pitcher, lighter, 2 oven gloves.

  I will bring all to the next club meeting. If you need them sooner you can stop by to pick up.

  As of this morning the brew cellar temperature was 62 degrees and all containers except two were bubbling rapidly.  I raised the room temp. to 65.  The two containers of "2nd runnings" are really putting on a show of their own...loud enough to be heard outside the entry door!
