Howdy brewers! I will be hosting the January brewday Saturday. I hope we have another great turnout. The weather looks to be pretty cold in the morning but it is supposed to warm up pretty quickly and get up to a high of 65 in the afternoon. There is usually plenty of parking along Castille Drive bu...

Altbier and a traditional German pumpkin porter

I will be brewing an ordinary bitter. Thinking of doing all-grain on the road for the first time.

I have a black coffee travel mug and a Stone Brewing growler that were left at my brew day on the 26th. Let me know if either belongs to you. I will bring them with me to the meeting tonight. That is all.

Greetings! I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the brew day tomorrow. Looks like the weather forecast has been revised in our favor. A bit chilly in the morning, but well above freezing, and no rain/sleet/thundersnow is expected. I'll have coffee and doughnuts for the earlybirds, and our club...

You are certainly welcome to come out. There will be lots of folks that are not brewing that day. As for the start I am assuming it is still 9:00 as usual. Typically these things run until mid to late afternoon.

I have a couple of questions regarding the brew day this Saturday: - Can we bring homebrew? - Can we bring commercial beer? - Any other restrictions that we need to know about? I ask because there are a lot of weird TABC rules that commercial breweries have to deal with. It may be that they are all ...

Most certainly!

Any word on when/where the spring party will be?

My share of the big batch is still showing signs of active fermentation. I used a California Common yeast and have been fermenting at 58 to 60 F, so I expected it to take awhile. The altbier that I brewed went much faster (thanks to almost a pint of yeast slurry to get it started) even though it was...

Thanks to all who showed up on Saturday. I believe we had 8 brew rigs going which is a great showing. The only "lost and found" item I have come across is a large (~1 liter) brown swing top bottle. Let me know if it is yours and I will get it back to you at the next club meeting or event.

Well unless the forecast changes dramatically we are going to have a pretty tame January brew day this year. It is supposed to be sunny and in the low to mid 70s. I will be brewing a Dusseldorf altbier. Wayne will have the monster system here. Who else is brewing?

Wayne - I'll take 5 gallons.
