Official 2012 Dayton Gathering

[VonMessa]

Back to saying thanks...........


To Shawk for again getting with the campground owner and reserving the space for us and the 4' fans that provided some semblance of comfort.

To Maddog (again) for getting in early, dealing with the hassles and all the bull youknowwhat that you were forced to endure, the time and effort and more effort and more effort that you put into making the site what it was, the six plus hours you put into making the chili, having the RV available for those that needed to cool off, and the staggering amount of funds that you put into making this gathering what it was.

To Lawndart for the fireworks, helping hand, ice and beverage runs, and entertainment.

To Wheaties for everything you did and assisting in the cooking of the lobsters, clams and chili.

To Neffers and Rosie for the many trips to the store for beer, ice, buns, torch oil, etc.

To Lyric for the "milk crate", food, ice, etc.

To BJ229er and wife for all your help with whatever was needed, whenever it was needed.

To Ogie for providing your truck for the store run and helping when you could during your busy weekend.

To all who showed up, even for a short time, for giving your time and effort to make this gathering a success.

If you and Nef were there and you still had to make beer runs, you are doing it wrong 

It seems that you will have to upgrade your brewing capacity...

Yeah, some people still like bud light.. I brought three corneys and only really put a dent in one plus we only got into them on Saturday.

Welcome to the challenge 

Brewing a beer that will satisfy the light beer drinkers.

Not an easy task

Next time we will have to open them on Friday night.  The weather played a big part in it too cuz pounding a lot of rich, full-bodied, delicious homebrew when it's 100 degrees is not easy.  I know I did my share though since I needed help staying vertical while walking to the tent.

Im On the right path. I am getting a large chest freezer this weekend which I'm going to be able to lager all the time and store, I'm hoping 3 or 4 corneys at the same time.

 We finished the pale ale keg this last Tuesday.

Eventhough we had an intimate crowd, it was great fun nonetheless. Thanks to everyone there for all their efforts in making it a success. Here are some pics that I finally got around to gathering up and posting.

Yup, the Soccor Mom van was packed to the hilt.



Some shots of the Pavillion as I unloaded and started to set up.






More to follow.

More pics of the area we had and of getting things set up and working on building the protable man-cave. And yes, all that stuff was in the van.

The 50" was a great addition this year vice the 22" monitors last year.
