Almost no one does. It makes this a great resource for when I'm calculating original grain bills.

Just did a Single Hop IPA experiment which was extremely educational. I'd love some more info on the legal/practical aspects of running a homebrew club. We currently don't have a membership fee, or any kind of real organization. FYI, ust got my first funk beer going. Flanders red ale! Next, Saison Brett!

He’d probably be more helpful for talking about the legal/practical aspects of running a homebrew club.<br /><br />DC Homebrewers is more relaxed/social than many other clubs. People who can’t bring homebrew bring food or craft beer that we enjoy for the first 30 minutes or so, then everyone introduces their beers and we get to drinking homebrew and talking. That’s about it. Some meetings have themes (Oktoberfest, Strong Ales etc…), but most don’t. We’ve been trying to get some local pro-brewers involved, which is nice. Having a slick website can be a good addition to get more participation between meetings. Group grain/hop buys are also a good way to get people involved, as is getting a local homebrew store to offer members a small discount.<br /><br />Try to figure out what people are interested in and work from there. I’ve attended other clubs that have very different feels. NOVA Homebrewers do a lot of education, with people presenting on a specific topic each meeting. Other clubs are big on judging beers and have each person fill out a score sheet for each beer they try. There are lots of models out there depending on what direction you want to go.<br /><br />Hope that helps, good luck.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-10709950714285437542010-10-07T10:02:12.988-04:002010-10-07T10:02:12.988-04:00Hey, me and some guys just had our first meeting o...Hey, me and some guys just had our first meeting of a new homebrew club in NE Minneapolis. We had 15 members show up to the first meeting! Any suggestions on what we should be doing, what we shouldn't worry about, etc. Anything would be appreciated from someone that is 2 years down the road from where we are at. <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />NickDank brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779478546239203006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-17963258894399490312010-02-25T18:33:54.462-05:002010-02-25T18:33:54.462-05:00Yep, that's it (more info is in the batch note...Yep, that's it (more info is in the batch notes at the end of the recipe). It was apple wood smoked malt, pretty subtle stuff. Not sure if this will be a smoked stout so much as it is a stout with some smoke complexities.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-36568882016156830592010-02-25T16:10:17.270-05:002010-02-25T16:10:17.270-05:00Wasmunds Smoked malt? what did they smoke it with?...Wasmunds Smoked malt? what did they smoke it with? <br /><br />Im curious what products wasmunds puts out, whiskey, bourbon etc google didnt bring up much unless its copperfox distilleryRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954352851798916893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-25367562267133707912010-02-25T09:47:46.233-05:002010-02-25T09:47:46.233-05:00Congrats, DC Home Brew Club, on 2 years!!Congrats, DC Home Brew Club, on 2 years!!My Year Withouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290085498074393110noreply@blogger.com
