Hoptoberfest 2013 - Sept 28

[LeafMan66_67]

I'm in. Couldn't convince the other half to come so flying solo.

[Maritimer]

I'll be there.

[dexter]

I'm in as well

[CorneliusAlphonse]

I will be there. Petra and/or my brother might come with, so can count on one extra.

The quality of the Beer and food at last year's event put the Beerfest to shame!! I am sure this year will be no exception. The menu and beer line sounds great. I am looking forward to attending and have been talking up the event to many of my beer loving friends so I will have at least one other attending with me so put me down for four sausages. I will check the appetizer selection that are listed and bring something. I have an Irish Red Festa Brew that I dry hopped with Tettnanger that I will bring. I can also bring my dual regular and CO2 if you still need some.

Count me in! I'll take two sausages.

[GuingesRock]

Kathleen and I are coming.
Thanks

[GAM]

We plan on a return this year. So that will be 5 in the group.

Sandy

[Tim Gregory]

we'll be three so 4 sausages for us please

[chalmers]

EZMAC will be in attendance, though if there's lamb in the sausage, it'll just be me eating them.

Re: CO2, so that we don't have twenty 20lb CO2 tanks for 25 kegs, let's keep the numbers down. PM me and I'll update this post (or post here and I will grab the number and erase your post to keep it tidy).

X: 5lb with 1 ball and 1 pin connection
Chalmers: 20lb with 6 ball-lock connections
Cobalt: 15lb with 5 pin locks

Your name here:

People bringing kegs, please bring your own thumb tap/tower/handpump, or post up here if you want to hook up into someone's tower (or have room for someone else on your tower).

[BBrianBoogie]

I'll be there, likely bringing a buddy.

[Juniper Hill]

My wife and I are planning to come. Can we bring anything?

[LiverDance]

ill be there

[mr x]

A small snack is fine.

I will have a five lber, with two connections, ball and pin lock.

[RubberToe]

I'll be there with a buddy, so two for food.

I think the sauerkraut went south so I'll probably bring a carton or two of Tancook. Also a jar of cowboy candy and another little surprise.

I'll have a keg, Harvest ESB or the IPA I just did today. I'm double pitching S-05 into one carboy so if it's done by next Mon or Tues I'll crash and keg it. If there's an available ball lock connection that would rock.

Sounds like a great plan - what about the hop infused mustard? That still possible?

Is this in the works? I've been researching mustard recipes, and I'm thinking of doing a pilot batch this week in prep for the event. I'm thinking dry-hopped...

[GuingesRock]

We'll make a couple of gallons of fresh salsa to bring.

I've been to the mustard as well. I have two kinds of beer mustard that I made 1 week ago. One with Munich Dunkel, another with TubberRoe Robust Porter, different recipes on the mustard side. First day they were both super harsh still; I guess it takes a couple weeks to mellow out. I might take a portion of one of them and blend in some more dunkel as a test. I'll be tasting them later.

I think you should go for it. How would you do it, infuse the vinegar with hops before making it?

[CartoonCod]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but maybe heating the vinegar up a bit to help with flavor extraction, or let it sit overnight. Also I wonder how the high acidic environment will affect the hops. I'm going to try a small batch to see how it works.

Awesome, yeah I'd let it steep a bit.

[Jayme]

I will be there with Gavin and Brenna, all three of us will eat. We will have a keg and cAn bring co2 - but is any more co2 needed now?

I am a maybe, will see if I can get to Halifax somehow that weekend. Anybody driving up from SJ/Moncton on Saturday?

[akr71]

Me + the Mrs. I'm planning on bringing a keg with gas connection and picnic tap.

[derek]

Marta and I will be there. Staying within walking distance... that could be bad.

[benwedge]

I feel like a politician. I'm back in. Tentatively. I am heading down to Antigonish the following morning instead of spending the weekend up there.

Speaking of which: is anyone headed to Antigonish on the Sunday morning? I need to be there for a late lunch.
