Big Brew is an annual AHA event where club members get together and brew. Clubs compete on the amount of beer brewed at the event and the top clubs get posted on the AHA website and even mentioned in the prestigious Zymurgy magazine.</p>

Big Brew is a big event, so we need to be conscientious to our hosts and their neighbors. If you can, carpool and double up on equipment (split batches, etc). Parking will be limited, so be prepared to walk a bit. The club will provide 2 port-a-potties, please use these instead of our hosts' bathrooms. And please, no dogs.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 24px;color:rgb(20,20,18);font-family:'Source Sans Pro',Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px">This year's Big Brew will be filmed! The new locally made magazine <a href="http://www.beerandbrewing.com/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(172,4,4);text-decoration:none">Craft Beer & Brewing</a> will be filming Big Brew and interviewing the club members. So come prepared to represent the club and our hombrewing hobby at large!</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 24px;color:rgb(20,20,18);font-family:'Source Sans Pro',Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px">And we are calling on you HOMEBREWERS. We're looking for at least <strong>ten</strong> 5-gallon kegs of beer. SESSIONABLE beer (<= 5.2% ABV). Something we can drink while we brew and keep our senses about us. The first six to volunteer will have their ingredients comped by Hops & Berries. Taylor will send out an email with details. So please, there is still time to get these beer brewed if you get on it quickly; and if you've got a keg sitting around, this is a great way to get rid of it.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 24px;color:rgb(20,20,18);font-family:'Source Sans Pro',Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px">The club record for beer brewed at Big Brew is: 325 gallons. So let's have a good time and see if we can break this record!</p>
<div><div>To volunteer to bring something, just respond privately to this email and let me know what you're willing to supply. I'll send our periodic emails listing the things we still need as we get closer to Big Brew.</div>
