31 days til brew day

I just today purchased 255 lbs of grain from the Austin grain group buy.  It should be here this weekend, with plenty of time to go.  I also managed to order the custom pint glasses for the wedding.  I used discountmugs.com and for 72 pint glasses with a logo, it was just under 175$.  Not bad, but a nice touch and a takeaway for those coming.

Still working on the final equipment and brewer list so I can build out recipes and plan on timing of the big day.

In other beer-related news, I had a few awesome updates from recent days:

1. I went to San Francisco and greatly enjoyed a lot of Russian River beers.
2. Visited the new gastropub Barley Swine - it was awesome.
3. Got a phone call from a co-worker complimenting a beer I had gifted him.  Always cool to hear that.
4. My Braggot is still aging, but really really good.  I already have plans to share some with head brewer at Independence Brewing next month, and am entering it in the Domras Mead competition in category 23b.

In the next few days, I am hoping to finalize by brewers and assistants list, equipment list and needs, as well as planned recipes.  Still not 100% sure we will be able to do 60 gallons, but have my fingers crossed.  More to come!
