Hi Everyone, below is the link to the PDF I handed out yesterday regarding an expirment on the effectiveness of various methods of wort aeration. It does not talk about the use of pure oxygen, however the result are very interesting and worth reviewing before going out to be new aeration supplies.
Cheers, BrewSec
Effectiveness of Various Methods of Wort Aeration
As our year comes to a close, I just want to take a second to thank our club’s major sponsors. The club would not be what it is, or do what it does without Half Pints Brewing Company and The Grape and Grain. This year, Scotty and the Grape and Grain crew, had their hands full making up extra “club brew kits” well into the new year! Scotty makes space for the club in his busy store (sometimes unexpectedly!!) and is always available to answer questions, give opinions and sample beers.
This year, Brew Master Dave let the club into his prized, Half Pints Brewery . He guided us through a typical brew day. We milled grain, mashed a “maximum capacity batch”, boiled in his beautiful kettle and took home some fantastic wort! Dave also opens his doors to the club every other month to host our meets and hosted the clubs “year end wrap up” party. He’s always got great advice for taking your brewing to the next level.
Thanks to Dave, Scotty, The Grape and Grain and Halfpints for all your support this year. We appreciate the extra effort you put in to make our meetings and events happen. We could not have had as much fun without you!
Our next meeting will be September 11, 2012 at 7:30pm(location to be announced). I hope everyone has a fun and safe summer.
Cheers
-David
Hey all,
Sunday March 18th, 2012, we’ll be hosting the Big Brew at Half Pints. We will be brewing a batch of beer on Dave’s system. I need to know who would like to participate in this. We have not finalized a cost for this quite yet, but we should have that information soon.
So what is the big brew? It will be a pale ale and the idea is that
we’ll each get to fill a carboy (several if you like) of the wort and then you can go home and pitch your yeast
and add whatever else you’d like to add. We cannot add yeast on brewery property becasue of legal issues. Send me an e-mail if you’re interested in taking part in this and also let me know how many carboys/buckets etc you’d like to fill. We’ll bring the finished beers to the June Wrap up.

Hey all,
We are unable to hold our meeting at Half Pints this month, so Scott has shuffled somethings around so that we can have the meeting at his place. The meeting will take place at Grape and Grain at 7:30pm. Thanks Scott!

Hey all!
We’re in the process of updating the website. Still playing around with features. We moved to wordpress for ease of updating. Feel free to let me know what you think (good or bad).
Cheers,
