On April 22nd, Jerome and I headed down to Larry's Homebrew Supply in Tukwila to brew the second part of the world's first ever Sasquatch Ale. Bascially concerned about not having enough for the conference, so we brewed ~ 120 gallons total (~ 90 at BJ's and ~ 45 at Larry's). Essentially the same recipe though no smoked squash in the batch at Larry's. We brewed in the warehouse on Don's super slick "homebrew" system. So many cool features including hot water on demand, big clean vessels on wheels, stainless steel conical fermenters and efficient burner for the brew kettle. I didn't hang around the whole day, but Don was a great host. We had to add quite a few rice hulls to prevent a stuck mash and the transfer was incredibly slow. I will post updates when the beer is kegged, etc.
Final recipe and some photos are below (full photo album).
