In honor of the American Homebrewers Association’s national
Teach-A-Friend-To-Homebrew Day, the MN Homebrewers Association will put on its fourth
annual demonstration event at Barley John’s Brewpub. Details are below.
We will brew three extract batches, beginning one each at
10:30, 11:30, and 12:30. I need volunteers
who will walk the crowd of interested newbies through the process, highlighting
each step and perhaps encouraging the crowd to help, e.g., they could tie a bag
of hops and throw it in the kettle. All ingredients will be provided by the
club. You just show up, show the crowd how easy it is to homebrew, then take
home 5 gallons of wort in your sanitized carboy. I’m still putting
together the experiment, but it will involve brewing three identical batches
with one variable. In years past we’ve had identical recipes with different
yeasts and different lengths of boil for the extract. I’ll be bringing
propane, a burner, and a kettle, but one extra setup would be appreciated!
Thanks!
