May 2018 – General Meeting: Mini-Sessions 1) Brewing Equipment & 2) TBA

This months general meeting we will pull a few meeting ideas that were too short on their own to make a full meeting from. Our primary mini-session will be on brewing equipment. This session is intended to help the brewer who is new to the hobby all the way to the advanced brewer looking for their next system expansion.

Over the last 2 years, we have had several new members join us for each meeting. It is not uncommon to hear that they have never brewed before, this session will help them understand what is available, what the acronyms mean and the pros and cons. Specifically focusing on All-Grain brewing equipment and the options available and why you would want or need them. For the advanced brewer this meeting may help fill out your understand of the systems available and could help you see through the gimicky marketing that is around us to see what will really help your brewing improve.

Our second Mini-Session will be announced at the meeting. I don’t want to give this one completely away before the meeting…

Last we will also be continuing our pre-meeting beer evaluation. Starting at 7pm, if you have a beer you want to get real-time feedback, bring in a bottle or two and have several BJCP judges provide constructive criticism to help make you a better brewer.

This general meeting will be held at Cliffords Supper Club in Hales Corners, WI on Wednesday, May 23rd. The meeting will start at 7:30pm, however you are welcome to stop in earlier and enjoy food that Cliffords has to offer. Please remember to bring your own tasting glass (or two).
