March Big Brew

Posted on by

Half Pints Brewing Company is once again allowing us to brew a batch of wort on their Premises.  The date of the Big Brew is March 17th starting at about 9 AM (exact time to be confirmed later).

You will be allowed to fill up one 23 liter carboy or bucket (Cost of wort TBD)

You must be a paid member in good standing.

You will be responsible for adding the yeast to your fermentor at home. You have free reign to use any yeast you want.

Due to a couple hiccups last year, we will check, clean, and sanitize your fermentors on site to make sure they will not pass on any bacteria to other carboys.

This year, we will give you the opportunity to vote for what beer style you want to brew.

 

  Update: January 11, 2013 – Since we do not have 51 members of the Winnipeg Brew Bombers, it looks like someone(s)took into their hands to skew the results. As the president, I am making an executive decision:  “The Irish Red and the Wheat Beer are tied at 16 votes each and the winner of the Malt Forward competition in February will choose the beer style to be brewed.”

Big Brew at Half Pints

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.
