The May meeting will be our last formal meeting before taking the summer off. However, we have a lot of events coming up; check back here for more information…
Big Brew for National Homebrew Day – Saturday, May 5th at the Columbus Brewing Company brewery (behind the restaurant). Participants (open to any homebrewer, not just SODZ members) show up and get wort for a batch of American brown ale. CBC will mash, collect, and distribute wort; participants provide hops and yeast. You don’t have to follow the recipe listed; feel free to alter it as you see fit. Bring everything you need to boil and chill your wort. Water will be provided, but you’ll need your own chiller. SODZ is providing a hog roast; bring a side dish to share.
May SODZ Meeting — Monday, May 14th, 7 pm at the Elevator Brewery
Iron Kettle Homebrew Challenge — June 2nd at Chateau Le France. See Dan France or Vic Gonzales for details
Digfest in Grandview — June 16th at The Grandview Yard. SODZ will be doing a brewing demonstration and have a booth to talk to people about homebrewing. If you’re interested in drinking beer and talking to homebrewers, contact me and I’ll add you to the list. There will also be a homebrewing competition which will be judged that afternoon; winners will be announced at the event. The competition is free to enter; you can register here.
