Brew-In Recap

Greetings Fossils,

We had so many people trying to brew beer a couple weekends ago (I typed this up at forgot to hit publish, lol whoops) we had to send them away and only let two people actually brew. Matt brought some supplies and Mike was hanging out observing. I myself (Joe) was making a test batch of a Pecan Porter and Robert made a Gumball Head IPA clone. A quick tour of NABC's brewhouse, several nice conversations, a few good beers, and some wort cooking made it a pleasurable but unbearably hot brew day. The only thing hotter than my boiling wort was the back of my neck.

Expect more Brew-In events in the future, if anyone has interest in hosting an event such as this please feel free to contact your friendly neighborhood president.

Our Brew Operation.

Matt trying to stay cool and Robert just being cool.

A little humor to keep us from going mad in the heat.

El Presidente

June Meeting Recap!

Greetings and Salutations Fermentors,

As many of you hop-heads know that visited the meeting that there was a planned brew-in and beer tasting that Richard Rush had offered to host, he reluctantly can no longer host on the anticipated date for June 26th. Join the facebook discussion here if you would like to host the event or recommend date changes.

There was some brief discussions about changes to our club beer competitions, the Kentucky State Fair brewing competition is also approaching if you have any entries now is the time to submit them here. The rest of the meeting involved our staple traditions of enjoying libations, socializing, and the raffle to help support our "free beer" habits.

Also let me take a moment to introduce myself for those who don't know me, I'm Joseph Merideth and will be managing the website moving forward. Please share any ideals that you would like to see come to life on the interwebs. Currently I've been working on just updating the layout and getting out-dated information removed and similar information collected together. The next goal is to create a recipe page for All Grain and Extract brewing. Please feel free to email me recipes that you would like to share into the un-official Fossils cookbook.

Stay Hoppy,

Joe
