Hey Rod, thanks for hosting this shindig. It's easy to forget that this all started out as a cry for help from Babydoll and a frustrated mechanic. I guess I need to pick your brain and learn exactly what you did to Babydoll, since a lot of that happened before I got there.

It was a long day for me, not as long as for some, but a lot of fun nonetheless. The sausages were phenomenal, especially for those lucky few that had some of Grandpa's spicy sausages that were in the sauerkraut. It was great weather for Oktoberfest... maybe next year I can whip up a festybrau, although I did get a lot of nice feedback on the pale ale. (Pale ale is more or less my "house beer" and now I need to brew another batch so I won't run out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

Mike, glad to hear that you made it home OK. I would have liked to stick around and close the place down, but Sterling's not just around the corner from my house like Matt's house is.

Althea and I were both severely tired... when I got home to unload the car, I opened her door and waited for her to wake up and come out. I had everything out of the car and into the house before she woke up. Sucks getting old, I guess.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) WOW, Jim, that is a wonderful photo essay you posted, to the grandeur and exploits of the 914World ECC gang. I really liked your groupings, and appreciate the coverage of past ECC events... very, very cool.

Hey, you know that galley plug we replaced. I was looking over my build thread, and found this entry:

adapter at galley plug for oil temp sender

So, thats what that was for. Now its just capped off.

Ken,

Thank you! Who knew that microbiology could be such fun?



This morning I was working in the back of the shop using the rolling cart we used last weekend to keep parts and beers organized.

Well, I picked up an old note pad that evidently had gotten beer soaked on Saturday while sitting on that cart and "WHAM" the pleasant aroma of Ken's Home Brew blasted me!

I really miss having Ken's beer tap in the shop! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Ken, please give me your recommendation on a brew starter kit!
There's this really 'cheapo' kit on ebay! What do you think? ebay - 290173611908

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Hey Rod, if you're really interested, check out this home-brewers kit available right over in Vienna, on Craigslist (like e-bay, only no bidding and no shipping... great for local stuff). Ken, what do you think of this, is it a good one?

I think Caroline's recommendation is spot on. It's local and it's cheaper.

The only thing I would recommend is that you ask how old the beer ingredient kit is. If it's older than, say, last Christmas, throw out the syrup, yeast, and hops, and buy a beer ingredient kit from your LHBS (Local Home Brew Supplier). I found 2 that might work for you...

http://jaysbrewing.com/catalog/

http://www.mylhbs.com/

I always recommend that people support their local homebrew store... in Palm Beach County, Florida, there was no LHBS until last year... everyone had to mail order everything... grain, extract, hops, the whole shebang.

Drop me a line if you have any other questions...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) ROFL. Us "meat gazers" were lookin' at some seriously smokin' equipment, daaaahling. Not to disparage your fine accoutrements, but the exhaust system right beside you was putting on quite a performance...
