OVHA Chat

The barrel brew will be held April 6th starting at 8am at Evansville brewhouse.

Josh Pietrowski is excited to host our club as he takes over the brewery on April 1st.

We will be using the Don Heisler old ale recipe and Josh Wuertz was able to get a makers mark cask strength barrel for aging.

Please use this thread to sign up to join. Please include preferred volume 5 or 10 gallon, and also if you will be doing biab.

Update: I ordered enough grain to make 70 gallons. This means we have room for a few more brewers. Dutch volunteered to make lunch for all brewers.

Thanks -Aaron

5 gallon and traditional mash tun.

5 gallon, mash tun preferred.

Can do up to 10 gallon BIAB, if for some reason we are short on brewers.

I’m in for 5 gal and can do either mash tun or BIAB. I can also do 10 gal if needed.

I can do 5 gallons. I’ll be brewing BIAB as usual, but no special considerations need to be made for me. I’ll have my grain hoist there for anyone who’d like to use it

What’s the recipe...how many pounds of grain and what’s the boil time?

Count me in I will be using a mash tun 5 gallons but if needed I should be able to do 10 gallons with that grain bill if you are short brewers.

Thanks,

Don, thank you!

I'd be interested and I could do a double batch as well.

I'm in.
Can do 5 or 10 gallons if needed.

Using robobrew.

Count me in as well. I'll be doing a 5 gal batch

Need to pull my name out of the hat on this one. Plans popped up on the 6th.

Sorry and have fun!!

I’m in for 5 gallons with BIAB if there’s still room!

Adam, we’ve still got lots of room.
