One of the guys who came over when I brewed my Saison is bringing 2 friends with him to help me brew today. One of them has done a couple of extract brews. I think I will take my laptop to the brewery so he can see how beersmith works.

Sounds like a fun day.
What's on the menu today?

Right on! No shortage of help in the brewery today Although I'm sure they'll want to sample whats on tap, which is ok. It is sufficient compensation for their help.

More help with the clean up too! Good going!

I've helped/watched friends with 30 gal brews and learned. I had my first helper yesterday, which was fun. I just wasn't able to give up too many duties. That will change next time.

Nice! You're a true Beer Evangelist.

But I agree with Beer-lord; you gotta tell us what you're cookin' up!

That is great to hear Gymrat glad your getting to brew while the recovery continues and that you have people who want to come learn and help.

This is what we brewed. As I expected the guy who has been extract brewing was quite surprised at how easy all grain is. He wants to start doing all grain now as well.
