Brewed "The Kaiser" Imperial Weizen yesterday. Missed my OG by about 7 points, though. We're at about 1.070 which I don't think will qualify for the Imperial label, but hopefully it's still tasty. Should be around 8% ABV if it ferments out the way it's supposed to.

I will bring a "half keg" to this event as well. I have an american wheat ready to pour. Might add some fruit to it.

I have a hoppy pale ale that will be half full by then I can bring.

Does anyone have a randall I can use for some melon?

Tim, you can use mine.

Great! I am going to fill it with honeydew melon, and force my american wheat through it.

Sounds like a "Morning Dew Wheat" to me.

I am bringing a half full keg of my pale ale. I will call it "Over the Line Pale Ale." If you mark it 8 you are entering a world of pain Smokey.

Matt, this is not 'Nam. This is brewing. There are rules.

Am I the only one here who gives a shit about the rules?!

Who wants to do some car pooling? I can take down three with me and plenty of gear in the back or if people want to squeeze into the third row we can do that too for a couple more. I like to get there a couple hours early to set up around 11. I leave right after the festival for a family gathering in Cedar Rapids that starts at 6 PM so I won't be able to do the traditional post festival beer drinking.

I am in boss (for car pooling), I am cleaning the beer goggles currently for the event.

Matt, I may be in for a ride if you don't mind going thru Solon to get there. Also, FWIW, If anyone wants to keep their keg cold,. I have plenty of space in my fermentation cooler, and I can crank it down to fridge temps. Let me know and We'll work out a plan to get it.
