[Liquidpoets] Big Brew 2014

[Liquid Poets President]

May 3rd is Big Brew! 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.

Janna and Chris Kregoski have volunteered to host our club this year.
They're at 701 Frontier Ct. So bring your equipment, bring some homebrew,
and bring a dish to share. Our annual Big Brew is a potluck and an
all-around great day to brew and see how others brew too.

The club will supply a grill and some grill-ables. We're calling  on
everyone to bring the following:

   - A chair for yourself. There will not be enough chairs supplied.
   - A dish to share

We also need a some volunteers to bring:

   - 3-4 tables
   - 2-3 tents
   - 3-4 extra propane tanks
   - 1 propane grill for meat
   - hoses for water
   - extension cords

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.

This year's Big Brew will be filmed! The new locally made magazine Craft
Beer & Brewing <http://www.beerandbrewing.com/> will be filming Big Brew
and interviewing the club members. So come prepared to represent the club
and our hombrewing hobby at large!

And we are calling on you HOMEBREWERS. We're looking for at least
*ten* 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.

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!
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.

Cheers!
