Hey Everyone,

Just a reminder that this Saturday (June 6th) is our final Windup meeting and Virtual Brew Day. We’ll be starting at 11 am.

After we get the brew underway (not that you have to be brewing anything, feel free to crack a beer and hangout!) we’ll get into the formal part of the meeting and discuss the typical wind up talking items. Sadly we can’t host everyone for a BBQ but are not calling it cancelled, for now, we’re calling it postponed. Perhaps we’ll do it early in the next season. We’ll see how things play out over the summer.

We’ll also be announcing the winner for the Rye IPA photo contest.

Hope to see everyone there!

Cheers,
Sean.

Hey Everyone,

Just a reminder of the club meeting tomorrow (Saturday) at 1pm. The guest speaker will be Maker’s Malt from Sask. They will do a presentation and take us on a virtual tour around their facility. It’s going to be a great one!

Here’s the meeting link: https://meet.google.com/oqu-ufyz-dri

See you at 1pm!

Cheers,
Sean.

Hey Everyone!

I hope everyone is keeping well and keeping busy.

I’ve been in touch with Maker’s Malt in Saskatchewan and they’ve agreed to speak at one of our virtual events. In case you didn’t know, Maker’s Malt is a small maltster out of Saskatchewan that focuses on smaller craft breweries. They supply mostly Saskatchewan breweries but are starting to be used more in Manitoba, Barn Hammer and Brazen Hall are two Manitoba examples.

In the presentation they’ll be talking about their Malt (obviously), the growing of the barley, and their process of malting and then a Q&A period. So it’ll be a virtual field trip. 🙂

The presentation will be next Saturday (May 23rd at 1pm CDT).

I hope to see everyone there!

Cheers,
Sean.

It should be clear by now that the usual club style competition isn’t going to happen since we can’t physically meet to evaluate everyone’s Rye IPA.  However, we didn’t want to lose out on the fun of the whole experience, so after some discussion the cub executives have decided to move forward with a Club Brew Photo Contest instead!  

Good luck to those of you who choose to participate!

To wrap up the 2019-2020 Season we’ll be doing a virtual club windup on Saturday June 6th.  It’ll be much like the virtual brew days we’ve done in the past month, but this time it’ll have a more formal agenda so that we can make some club announcements, explain a few things, do executive elections, and announce the photo contest winners!

So, we hope you will all join us even if you won’t be brewing (you could grill up your own steaks & burgers, ha ha).  Meeting link and details will be provided closer to the date.

Stay safe!

Hey Everyone!

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Saturday May 2nd @ 1pm CDT) We have our second presentation from Brad Smith. The topic of this presentation will be about using BeerSmith! This is a presentation you won’t want to miss.

Hey Everyone,

Just a reminder that tomorrow (April 18th @ 1pm) is the virtual club meeting. Our guest presenter is Brad Smith, the creator of BeerSmith, and several other note-worthy items such as the BeerSmith.com blog. Brad will be doing two presentations for us, one tomorrow and the second one on May 2nd.

Tomorrow’s presentation will be about designing beers. The presentation on May 2nd will be about BeerSmith itself.

To join the meeting, simply goto this link: https://meet.google.com/egh-bjmc-oxr

Try to show up a few mins early if you can just in case you have to work out any video/audio issues.

See you all there!

Cheers!
Sean.

Hey Everyone,

The results of the polls are in and the winner for the topic is Designing Beer, with BeerSmith as a very close second.

I talked with Brad Smith about this and options and he suggested to do two meetings. So we’re going to do the Designing Beer topic this Saturday (April 18th) and then two weeks afterwards (May 2nd) he’ll do another presentation on BeerSmith.

So don’t forget, the first topic will be this Saturday (April 18th) at 1pm CST. We will be switching back to Google Meet. I’ll send out the link the night before.

See you all there!

Cheers,
Sean.
