Batch 2 for the Barrel
UPDATE: November 21st 2011 - We have all but 5 gallons accounted for. If you wanted to brew and did not get a chance, let Nick, Mike or Bill know as soon as possible, you can still get in on this barrel.
UPDATE: We would like to get the barrel filled this weekend. Please try to bring your containers with your portion to DIY Brewing (289 East Street Ludlow Ma) for Saturday.

If you have conributed to this batch of barrel beer, please be prepared to receive your share (whatever you kicked in minus the Okoberfest portion we are giving to the Museum event) this day at the home of Mike Drez's. We will rack off the barrel to your vessel of choice.
After that the Barrel is moving to the home of Nick Gagnon for further care. We will move it empty, so if your share is not removed that day, someone else may end up with it.
Once the barrel is at Nick's we plan on filling it with water (as trying to empty move and refill would be logisticaly a nightmare)for a week. The following week we plan to have the second batch ready to fill in the barrel. So those who have offered up a batch we will have a recipe ready for this Tuesday. We settled on a porter. More details to follow on the refill...
Questions or comments can be directed to the club at the "info@" address, the forum or reaching out personaly to any of the club members.
