FOSSILS FISH FRY & EQUIPMENT SWAP – June 13, 2009

Renowned cook, Steve Crull, has agreed to fry fish for the next FOSSILS meeting on June 13. Steve showed his fish frying skills at previous Otter Creek FOSSILS/LAGERS picnics. We will be meeting at Bob and Maureen Capshew’s house.
In addition there will be a homebrew equipment swap meet so that members can buy, sell or trade equipment. There are a lot of new members that need equipment and we want to get the equipment in the right hands. Please do a little spring cleaning and bring unused equipment such as brew kettles, burners, carboys, wort chillers, soda kegs, beer kegs, anything stainless steel, etc. We also plan to have a silent auction for a brew kettle that the club has acquired.

WHAT TO BRING: Excess homebrew equipment & homebrew (club will furnish food and some commercial beer). Please bring folding chairs!!!

WHERE: 7720 Corydon Ridge Road (Take I-64 west, exit Georgetown, turn left on exit ramp, turn right when road narrows from 4 to 2 lanes onto Corydon Ridge Road, go 2.5 miles. House is on the right.)

WHEN: Swap Meet starts at 4 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m.
