Should I post this on Hoopla?

Definitely. We can use all the exposure we can get.

Added it: http://events.hooplanow.com/event_recur ... dar-rapids

I can probably feature it on the eat & drink homepage when it gets closer.

Whereas there will be the Moose Drool clone being brewed listed below.

I will be bringing my brewing setup and doing a Honey Orange Wit. Apologies in advance for that.

Sorry for the late posting. I should be able to bring my set up as well. I haven't decided if I'll be brewing a brown ale or porter yet, but it will be 5 gallons. Also, we should be able to provide a table, buckets for spent grain, and a water cooler as well as the hose/water. If there's anything else we might need, let me know and I will try to have it ready for Saturday.

Anyone have a hose splitter they can bring?

I have on that I was planing on bringing. Also if it looks like rain I will plan on bringing my 10'x20' canopy. Do we have any plans for food. I was going to bring my little gas grill and some burgers if no one else has anything.

I'm going to bring some brats or italian sausages to throw on someone's grill. I can only hang out until 1 or 2.

It wouldn't be Big Brew Day without a BACONATOR (aka Bacon Explosion). We'll need a good sized grill (Pottsie, you bringing the weber?) and I'll bring a bag of charcoal and some grilling tools. The BACONATOR takes awhile to cook, so having a bigger grill will leave room for others to cook their stuff, too.

No planning to brew, but I will plan to bring a TAD keglet of my Moose Drool clone, so any intersted layfolk (i.e., non-brewers checking us out) can sample what we're trying to make.

Thanks to all who stopped by yesterday. I have my 5 gal of wit cranking away right now.

Tony B, great job on the weber, the Baconator was awesome!
