The last few messages have provided the best laugh all day!Where are you at in the process now?

Went into the fermenter about 1:30 PM, 6 1/2 hours after we started. Fermenting at 62F with Pacman. We'll dry hop with 15 lb. of Columbus pellets.

I think it may be interesting to compare the production brew with the home brew to see how its different. Fermentation chamber size should have an effect. Have you fermented it with pacman before?

So not too much extra time spent from a normal 5 gallon batch... at least not exponentially.

Good question. One of the LHBC guys is just about (2-3 weeks) to open a brew pub in Elkhart, IN. His HB system is/was (now his *pilot* system) 10 gal, his pro system is 7 bbls. He is definately having to tweek his recipes with the scale-up in batch size.Plug for the HB'er going Pro: https://iechyddabrewingcompany.com/Beach

Actually, no. At least not enough that it was noticeable! Tom and I provided most of the labor...carrying grain and dumping it in, stirring the mash, cleaning the tun...L to R - John Maier, Danny Conners (brewer at Rogue's Buckman Brewhouse), me, Tom Fries

I was asked to brew and bottle 1600 bottles of commemorative beer for NHC. I asked Rogue to become involved.

Yeah, I wish I were going. If only that hadn't sold out so fast! Maybe next year.

These pictures are so cool. Tell the youngster to grow a beard if he wants to fit in.
