Brewing Schild Brau
The brew went smoothly today. We really need to get brewing though, the beer is really starting to move out of the cellar.
Our Marketing Guru, Teresa Albert, is coming on full time now for the first time (she is giving up her old teaching job) and we only expect good things from this. So Congrats to Teresa! She will be very busy creating great POS material with our new 48 inch printer that we puchased this winter. Bud and Miller and the rest spend lots of moola on custom banners for bars and retail accounts that say happy {insert holiday or event here} day and such for bars. We will now be able to offer the same type of stuff.
Its pretty much confirmed that we attempt our great dopplebock bottling on June 18th. By that time it will have aging downstairs for a good 80 days, a proper lagering time for sure. We are going to ask for some assistance though, in the actual bottling and hand labeling of our special beer. Of course, we will pay you, in beer! More details to come soon.

Hey, I can come in on weeknights if you need me, at around 5:30pm or so (until whenever), until the end of June at which time my schedule changes. Let me know.

Well thanks, but the brewery isn’t open much later than 7pm, even in the height of summer. Well sometimes we stay open later, but the crowd around here disappears pretty early.

I figured you had elves working 24 hours a day though, and maybe I could join those elves and become their leader!!!!

I would love to help with the bottling but that is Fathers day weekend so I’m tied up all weekend. I would be glad to lend my cappers if I can find a way to get them there. I have 1 bench capper and I think 2 to 3 twin lever cappers.

I hope that Teresa can help with the fact that those of us up here in NW Iowa really have to work hard to get your beer.
Fortuantely I have had several people going to anf from Chicago, and can continually supply me eith you beers.

I just realized that you’re going to do it in one day and that day is next Saturday (helps to read things carefully). I’m not scheduled to work so I can definitely help out. Let me know.

Any and all help will be appreciated. I think we will only be using bench cappers… if you
can find a way to get here that would be great! We have to do it all in one day.. by the next day the new yeast
can/will settle to the bottom of the tank, and the beer may not carbonate properly in the bottles.

I should be able to help. I will be out of town this Thur and Fri so any details you can post before then would be great.
