OK, enough of the corny stuff. Here is the last announcement. The big brew is pretty set for Saturday. Anything can happen between now and then and one very important thing is I will become a Grandpa. Now that this is out, I am requesting a little more assistance from the club. Food: As previously mentioned, I will be making BBQ chicken around noon. I may not have enough food to feed 75 or 100 people and this is where you come in. I have a table setup and would welcome food contributions. Possibly some veggies, cheese, maybe even a hotdish or something. Anything you can whip up. Please include serving spoons, forks, etc. Utensils and Plates: Some time ago, there was a stash of plastic plates, forks, knives etc that were owned by the MHBA. Does anyone have a clue where these are? If you have a clue please let me know that you can bring them. I don't mind purchasing more but would rather use up what we already have. Fermenters and Sanitizer: I am setting up a simple drain station over by brew station #2. It is a bucket and hose arrangement that simply diverts sanitizer away from our yard. Please use this device. If you want a hot rinse, use the sink in the basement brewery. Wort: Originally, the plan was to use club funds to cover the expense of wort production. This would cover the cost of propane, natural gas, hops, purchased grain, and a little mileage. This had worked well in the past but was nixed by club. I am requesting a very modest donation for bitter wort like $1.00 per gallon. I know, it sounds like highway robbery but what if you get a discount like: buy five, get one free? (Doesn't this sounds like Granite City?) Thanks again very much for your active participation. We look forward to this event. Bring your fermenters, a chair, and a glass and have a GREAT time!!!
