Rick and Dawn have generously hosted the Big Brew for the last two years,
and the club wouldn't THINK of letting them lose money on it. I'm sure
everyone who attends is willing to cough up a buck or two for Rick's famous
"Sterling Wings", and the Minnesota Home Brewers Association will cover any
shortfall. Hopefully some of you will bring some amazing side dishes to go
along with them!
Of course those who are taking home wort to ferment at a paltry $1 per
gallon are getting the advantage of a Rick-Oftel-All-Grain-Extravaganza
without any of the work! (What's a kit cost these days... $30 for five
gallons??) It's the "Big Brew" norm for those bringing wort home to pay
for their fair share of its production. To the recollection of past
presidents, the club did not pay for "free wort" in previous years.
At any rate, as with all of Rick and Dawn's events, this one will be REALLY
fun! Hope everyone can make it!
