Thanks Brad ... I'll probably miss the meeting but if a phone conference was necessary I could be available.

Dan

Thanks!

I guess I do my own tasting and decide whether or not to send the bottle conditioned or the force carbonated!

Dan

Is there a link somewhere for online entry?

I think that Tim (Maltbarley) has one and we haven't heard from Robert (Brew Captain) to know if he ever pulled his off.

Well, I need to get this beer into someone's hands this week for the tasting. What I was planning on doing was to get 6 bottles ... 3 bottle conditioned and 3 force carbonated to the group for tasting. I'll keep another 3 bottle conditioned ones here for shipping (if the club chooses). If the bottle...

I might try to make that one too.

Congrats .. can't wait to see the pics.

Welcome Stephen!

Don't be a stranger ... are you a homebrewer? We hope to see you around this board again!

My nephew is attending SLO .. I'll have to get his perspective for the next visitor (now that he is of drinking age!)

I'm planning on taking a reading tomorrow to see where we sit ... the fermenter has been siting at around 60 degrees for several days now (found a n ice cool spot while we were in San Diego for tramp competition). Assuming we're at target gravity, I'll try to bottle some for bottle conditioning and ...

Dan, what are those things the gas lines are coming out of on the right hand side in that bottom pic? So tell me - have you ever managed to have all 10 taps going at the same time? I have a hard time keeping 4 going! Nice job! Yes, I've had 10 going at once ... I'm there now. We had all 10 for the ...

I actually have 4 separate regulators on my kegerator ... for 10 taps. I love it! Granted it is probably a luxury but isn't homebrewing? Anyway, I have 3 separate serving zones and a 4th zone for force carbonating. http://www.brewcommune.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10152/Kegerator_outside.jpg htt...

I'll have some for the next Camarillo Brew Day AND enough to enter for AHA Lyn.

Thanks again everyone!

Get a hydrometer ... I think Brent and Derrin are probably on track. Get us a reading and we'll be able to tell you a lot better where you're at. Don't worry about the strainer, as long as it was sanitized, you're ok. I've used a strainer plenty of times with no ill effects. About the only negative ...
