[Liquidpoets] April Meeting

[Remi Bonnart]

I am attaching the basic outline of the hops growing presentation I will be
giving on Thursday evening, pretty much the same as last year. I will NOT be
handing out copies of this at the meeting, so if you need a hard copy feel
free to print it out. It is a good reference for hops growing/processing in
general. See you all Thursday night! Cheers,    -Remi
