Not to my knowledge - I'm assuming Mike set this up on his own. I only sent Josh and e-mail about making a plan for the day a few hours ago.

Anyway, I can still go there to help out with whatever if that's helpful. Or if services are no longer needed, totally fine too!

I thought I was the go-between for brewers and breweries, but I guess not. No problem, the info doesn't only have to flow through me, but it would be great to be in the loop.

Check your email. I took the minutiae of the discussion to email, to save other folks the boring details! I'll bring the RRR you'd requested, too. If you still want it.

Had a pretty decent brew day on my own gear at Spindrift. Hit both volume and gravity on a 40L Gose. Half will be put on raspberries for a tart summer beer.

We couldn't do any brewing at Gahan but we talked to a few people. Couldn't move any glasses. Sorry Chalmers!

Mitchell and I (and Tim) talked to some people and brewer the wort for a double. Store was crazy busy but no glass sales.

Mitchell and Tim have the pics.

LOL, thanks for thinking about the glasses, folks, but of course the most important part is spreading the beer love, which I'm sure you all did awesomely!

We wound up with too much water in the kettle somehow (probably measuring things on a less than level surface), so we extended the boil from 60 to 80 mins. Still wound up with 23.5 litres of wort at 1.069 instead of 23 at 1.071, but as my old music teacher used to say - "close enough for jazz". Fermenting strong now. Overall went very smoothly, gave away some brewnosers business cards, hopefully helped tim sell some gear, and hopefully convinced at least one person to give brewing a try.
