At the Big Brew day at Lucid Brewing to receive the free malt to brew a 5 gallon batch of beer, Do we use one of the recipes from the AHA web site listed below? That is base malt not extract, correct? Can we tweak the recipes? http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/events/national-homebrew-day/re… 2013 AHA Big Brew Recipes This year's Big Brew recipes come from the 7th annual Great American Beer Festival Pro-Am Competition.

We'd love to have you out on May 4th! This year we are inviting a few other clubs to join us as well and are opening up to the public. Part of Big brew day is about getting together with new brewers and learning from your friends. We get a lot of people interested in learning in homebrewing but are scared to join a club. This should be a good intro for them. This year we are also getting Cargill to do a presentation on malt! We are asking that you sign-in/register if you are coming. WE ARE LIMITING SPACE so that it's not a crazy event, if you show up unregistered, you will get BOOED. If you show up with brewing equipment and haven't registered, we'll ask you to keep it packed up. To many open flames becomes a real safety issue. goto: http://www.lucidbrewing.com/tours and scroll to the bottom of the page An added bonus: If you choose to brew one of the three AHA suggested recipes, Cargill and Lucid will provide malt for a 5 gal batch!
