Awesome! I'll stop by tonight and pick up my Home Depot buckets.

As is typical with these group brews, a few pieces of equipment were left behind: two Home Depot buckets, a few smaller containers, a very nice temperature monitor, and a brown discharge hose (Michael J?).

It was great hosting the event!
Jeff, is the temp monitor a Polder oven thermometer? Just fired up and can't find it...

What was our gravity reading? I just took a sample of the excess that I fermented. I used a refractometer, so I need OG to figure out where it is now.

The leftovers that I fermented are down to 1.008 - 1.010. The plan is to cork and bottle condition this portion, and then give it some age!

Pretty good for only being a week out from brewday.

What was the date we decided on to keg the 2016 batch and transfer the Quad into the barrel? Was it this weekend or next?

I have the 25th noted down, which is quickly approaching. We need to alert all who brewed last year to bring their legs that day (or to someone beforehand)

I have some extra right now if anyone that brewed needs to borrow a keg.

I also must clean kegs... Anybody want some barrel aged or non-barrel aged "Norrick Special" batch?

I have barrel and original Norrick Ale that is getting dumped this weekend.

This is my first sour batch. Should I do anything out of the normal with these kegs? I normally just rinse, soak with PBW, rinse, and then StarSan.

Since the Norrick special has touched my kegs, do I have to set them on fire?

I'm doing a full rebuild on those kegs blessed with the privilege of containing the Norrick Special. A cycle through the keg washer, disassembled, run the tube brush though the pickup. Boil all fittings/popits/lids. Install all new gaskets. Don't forget the keg lube.
