I know some of our members are BJCP certified, so maybe that might be something to speak of or talk about. Something else to talk about would maybe be a food & beer pairing type of a topic?? Maybe something else (for the summer months and a place with some space) would be a show-and-tell of sorts to talk about different brewing setups/configurations - maybe something ranging from the cooler-style setups to folks with bench style and tier’d setups (along with accessories, gadgets and techniques for brewing better beer. I’d still consider myself a novice, but I’d be willing to bring my Brutus 10 style setup and talk about it..

Just ideas to consider! I love hearing from some of you more advanced brewers at our meetings!

Thanks, but we’re not just looking for approval for a list of items, we need people to offer to actually execute them.

 

So, let’s go folks, pick something you’d like to see JAB do and figure out how to do it!!!!

I for one think this is a very good list and if you can actually get a tour of Surly for JAB I'm in...You can never seem to get in on those as they fill up so fast.

 

How about a hop talk of some sort?
