Broncster, It may be a couple weeks before I'd be ready. This weekend I have the poker game and the weekend after that I have a family reunion. So, if you're really interested (I was about 90% sure no one would take me up on this), the last weekend in June or the first weekend in July will probably be good for me, but the 17th-21st of June would be really good too, since I'll already have my house cleaned up for the poker game.

Where you comin' from? I can start anytime between 8am and 3pm. It really does take 5-6 hours but there are idle periods throughout. There's a good deal of prep and cleaning to fill the extra time, but I figure we should have something to do besides make beer, like make burgers on the BBQ, play some heads-up poker matches, or whatever.

If you're down we'll try to get one or two other people over to help compensate for my awkwardness, otherwise you're in for an uncomfortable silence or two.

I am heading out of town until June 23 so the last week of June would be great for me or the first week of July would work. I am coming from Provo. I could bring some one with me or if other people are interested that would be great. I promise to be only slightly awkward and creepy. I dont really mind what time of day you start, 8am is on the early side but I am pretty flexible.

You ever make anything similar to a Scotch Ale?

I haven't. Sounds interesting. ESB might be somewhat similar in that they are both malty beers, but the scotch ale description mentions a peaty/earthy aroma and flavor along with caramelized malt flavor (often mistaken for diacetyl). I haven't looked into what techniques are used to create those flavors, but sounds like something I'll have to check out.

Every scotch ale I've had, I've really enjoyed. Typically a fairly dark beer that's really smooth...I usually only drink porters and stouts with the occasional ale, so I guess I'm more into the dark beers. If that's not your style, you might not like it as much. Either way, try it out, new beer is always fun.

Sounds really good. Looks like I have everything to make one on hand except for the yeast. I may have to make one soon.
 
Forgot to mention one wild card. If it is windy I won't brew. Way too damn frustrating.
 
I could be interested in this. I'm pretty sure I could get an asterisk* since I would be getting drunk all in the name of science and learning. I mean, doesn't The Good Book talk about how you should learn all you can in this life? I try to follow the rules.

Absolutely! We'll study IBU, SRM, conversion and alcohol ratio formulas and then you can see if you can tell the difference in the finished product.

It also says not to get drunk. I'm sure you're a strict follower of "The Good Book" though.
