Travis, what is the size of your kettle karl is borrowing I need to know if I need to move the kettle supports on my blinchman burner.

Karl, just double-checking you're borrowing my burner did you want the leg extensions or the regular legs, with the regular legs your kettles only going to sit 8or9 inches off the ground

Just getting everything prepped for Saturday want to make sure everything's good to go

Probably without leg extensions. But we'll need to lift the kettle onto the table after chilling to drain into kegs.

Are we bringing a tap box or are we pouring from bottles?

I believe the plan is mostly bottles. Pat and Tony have a few kegs but I think they are going to pour from picnic taps.

We originally decided to not bring a tapbox.

But, our 6-tap tapbox can be conveniently be made available to us and dropped off on Sat.

I know some of the guys were going to bring kegs....so, should we use the table-top tap box?

We'll need some tote to hold the kegs and keep them cold.

Thoughts?

Six tap box and tubs. Not messing with the pumps and batteries. If we pour beer outside we won't need them. Do we have to pour beer inside? Can we use one of the chalk boards or white boards to put a "FREE BEER OUTSIDE!!!!!" sign on and keep the pouring close to the people who are brewing?

Great.

So those of you bringing kegs, we will now have the means to dispense if you would like to use it!

Yeah, I think we try to move whatever we have.

What should we sell the glasses for, a buck a piece?
