Once a again a fine turn out of brewers and brews. It is "aleways" nice to see new faces each week and always comforting to catch up with old friends.
The topic of discussion this meeting was the up-coming Big Brew Day at Martin and Lillian Thee's on May 3rd. See the "Elsewhere" section for a map of the location and keep an eye out for updates on the event.
Thanks to the Schoolmaster for an informative lecture on the most basic of beer ingredients, water.
As always, a Big Thanks goes to our host Chris Milum.
As a final note, our next meeting in May is cancelled in favor of a Big Brew Day hosting by Chris Milum. Date to be announced when I get back to my notes.
