Andrew VanderKlok is volunteering his home for a group brew event this coming Saturday, June 22nd starting at 10am.
2720 Winchell Ave
Kalamazoo, MI
A hose for chilling and cleaning will be provided. Filtered water (5 Micron) will also be available, should you not want to bring your own. Goal - Brew as much as possible. All rigs & methods are welcome.
This is a friendly reminder that we will be meeting this coming Monday, June 17th at Old Dog Tavern at 7pm. This month's topic will be sour beers presented Gregg Updike and will include club-provided samples. We look forward to seeing you there!
Those of you who were able to attend the May meeting might have seen a few video cameras and microphones roaming through the tavern. Those were Kevin Romeo and his team for the Michigan Beer Film, a "film that explores the explosive growth, both economic and artistic, of the Michigan craft beer scene". They are currently seeking donations at their KickStarter project:
This is a friendly reminder that we will be having our normal meeting this coming Monday the 20th at 7pm at Old Dog Tavern. Member Brian Pierce will be giving a talk on electric brewing. If you use electric heating in your brewing process or are interested in learning how to incorporate it, this is a perfect opportunity to share your experiences, ideas and questions.
Our Big Brew event at Bell's this past Saturday was a huge success. A big thanks to our hosts as well as all the people who came out to brew or just observe. You can see some photos here:
One more reminder about the Big Brew event this Saturday at Bell's. We currently have 8 planned rigs doing mostly all-grain but we could always use more! If you're interested in brewing, let us know. Otherwise, anyone and everyone is welcome to come spectate including friends, family and co-workers. Long live homebrew!
Once again we are happy to announce our partnership with Bell's General Store in order to host another AHA Big Brew event!
For those not already familiar, Big Brew coresponds with National Homebrew Day (Saturday, May 4th) and is sponsored by the American Homebrewers Association. The idea is to celebrate all things homebrew by trying to gather as many brewers together to simultaneously brew as many gallons of beer as possible. We hope to have all-grain, extract and everything in between going that day. We will also be brewing the winners of our intra-club competition:
This is a friendly reminder that we will be having our monthly meeting this coming Monday, April 15th. As usual, we will be meeting at 7pm at Old Dog Tavern in downtown Kalamazoo. This month's topic is packaging which will cover bottling and kegging presented by Geoff Groff.
