Recipe and Equipment planning!

Well, we are now 16 days away from the big brew day.  I have worked on the recipe and equipment list, and this is the breakdown so far.

We recently scaled back the guest list, so the magic number is now 50 gallons of beer.  Below is the breakdown on the recipes and the ingredients we are planning on making.  All Ale's, and mostly 2 row base malt to make the purchasing easier.

This overall is going to break down into three 10 gallon batches, and  four five gallon batches.  In the table below, the hop and grain and other needs are all in 5 gallon sizes.  This all should work out to a total of 50 gallons of beer in 10 carboys.  :D
