 Anyone else getting together and doing this? This year we're doing it the local food truck park, and thus far we've gotten some decent exposure on social media. We've got the three local breweries on board, and they're also having some kind of "market day", so we ought to have quite a bit of traffic.

 

 One guy is bringing out his gravity-fed AG system, another is bringing his Grainfather, I'm doing a BIAB, and another is doing an extract. Only two problems are no running water on site, and no alcohol consumption allowed. I haven't even looked at the recommended recipes--I'm going to do my first Saison ever. Looks to be a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

No running water? How are you going to chill? No booze? How are you going to chill? ;)

IKR?

 

 Since I'm doing a BIAB anyway, I'm just aiming for 4 gallons after boil. Gonna have a gallon jug of water on ice to top up and chill (somewhat). Get it home, and once it's below 90, I'll pitch. I've never done a saison, and have read that you're good to just go ahead a pitch hot and let it go. I reckon we'll find out!

It rained all day and the 2017 Southern California Homebrewers Festival was on Sat. so most of the clubs were there serving and not much got planned for Big Brew Day.
