I'll grab some ice.. how many bags should i bring? it isn't too warm out yet so i was thinking 4?

I would bring some folding chairs but it would mean i couldn't drive people out. As it stands, I will have two free seats in the car, anyone need a lift out and back from the peninsula? i've got a DD.. haha. i'll likely head out for 3 or so, and come back in ...sometime

edit: or Kyle can get some too. doenst matter to me
planning: beer for my cousin's wedding
Fermenting: black ipa
Conditioning:
Kegged: barrel barleywine from 2014 - i think i still have this somewhere

-Some folks are brewing: hogie and HBC starting around 2 or 3. TimGr and I were willing to be assistants on that, or another brew, but won't be taking any wort home with us, so someone else needs to decide on what recipe to use. I can probably help with items, if I'm warned early enough (ie, tonight). I'll be there from 2 (or earlier if that doesn't bug TimG too much) until 4 at the latest.
-If you are able to offer, or looking for a drive, post up here and someone might be able to accommodate you.

I was thinking just one bag per person should be fine, it's not that hot out yet. I might want a seat, still not sure what I'm doing yet for transportation........ :crazy:

I've signed up for a Mexican dish (sorry, Chalmers, but I couldn't find any loose Mexicans to bring on such short notice). I'll also bring a bag of ice, presumably for injuries after falling off the deck. Should I bring a keg of beer (assuming that it's ready) or just bottles? If the former, will CO2 be provided?

Liam, may I get a ride with you?

I could use a ride from Dartmouth if anyone is going out in the early afternoon. Or if someone on the peninsula has space I can probably get a lift that far with someone else.

You take my seat DC, the day is pretty unsettled tomorrow for a while, and I'll get a drive out myself.

Wow.. you guys are really heating this thread up last minute! Ok;

Ice; Liam = 2 bags, Dirt Chicken = 1 cooler + 1 bag that should be good for ice

Kyle; If you want to bring a keg, sounds good! We can swap the CO2 around. Try harder on the loose Mexicans!

Chalmers; Earlier the better! Maybe my posts were a bit confusing, but I'm going to start a BIAB ESB (acronyms
anyone) around noon.. and then yourself and Tim Gregory are going to help keeping an eye on it, finishing.. voluntold!

Chairs; If somebody can bring some 'without' sacrificing rides for attendants.. feel free, otherwise we'll manage. I have a few.

I'll try and bring my portable keg charger with, just in case, probably pick up a few co2 charges from NG ( regular customer btw ) so that we might be able to tap more kegs without swapping co2.

I had dinner with him last night and indeed he is. He said his mother was just back from Florida so he had to go up and see her - I pointed out that his calendar was seriously screwed because he has to go up there next weekend for Mother's day. His response was something along the lines of "Fuck, no! I thought that was two or three fucking weeks later."

I`m driving from Dartmouth, probably around 2 or so, depending on how productive the morning is. I can fit 3 people comfortable, or 4 cramped.

I've offered to give TimGr a lift, as we are both going to help/observe Tim with his BIAB. Anyone on the peninsula who wants a lift around noon, EMAIL me (no PMs).

I've kinda screwed my end of the deal up: I forgot that EZ makes a killer Guac, so she and I whipped up a pound of it this morning. And I'll bring little pitas to dip with. Hopefully this will still count as a side.

I'll also bring a 20-lb CO2 tank with a dual manifold, so probably won't need to worry about keg chargers.

Alright fellas, looking like I can make it for a bit now...anything still needed? Should I bring a keg, or would a growler be better (not sure what is there for dispensing)
