2007 Big Brew

Saturday May 5th at Ron Daubel's House
(Rain or Shine!)

This year Brewers Unlimited Zany Zymurgists will celebrate Big Brew along with the American Hombrewers Association and all of the other Big Brew sites around the country.  But what exactly is Big Brew you ask?  The following text comes from the AHA's official Big Brew web site:

Each year on the first Saturday in May, homebrewers unite non-brewing and brewing friends and family to celebrate National Homebrew Day, joining with thousands of homebrewers from around the world in brewing the same recipes and sharing a simultaneous toast at noon Central Time. Big Brew is one of many fun American Homebrewers Association events used to promote homebrewing.

So please plan on joining us in celebrating the joys of homebrewing at BUZZ member Ron Daubel's home in Downingtown.  Everyone is welcome to come and brew with us, either with your own equipment or with one of the other brewers already set up.  See all the details below.

We hope to see you and your family there!

Times: All-grain brewers please arrive around 10am with the goal of mashing in by 11 am.

Extract brewers may arrive anytime, however we are
asking that you are set up and starting the boil no later than 2 pm.

Non-brewers may arrive anytime. Please attend even if you do not intend to brew.

 

Brewers: Again, you do not need to brew to attend Big Brew!  There will be several setups including extract as well as all grain.  

Please see the recipe details (both extract and all grain) on the official AHA recipe web site.  Of course, you may brew anything that you want, these are only suggestions.

We ask that you bring your own brewing equipment (ingredients, burner, pot, mash/lauter tun, fermenter, tubing, chiller, essentially everything but the water) however, there are a few extra burners, pots, and tanks available if you need them. Please let us know if you need anything (burners, pots, tanks) with your RSVP.

 

Food: BUZZ will provide burgers, hot dogs, bratwursts, and rolls. We are asking that everyone please bring a favorite dish (salads, desserts etc), and of course beer, commercial or homebrew!

 

RSVP: Please RSVP (either email rdaubel@yahoo.com or mailing list) no later than April 29th.

Families are welcome.

Please RSVP with the following info: Name, number of people attending, the dish you are bringing, and if you are brewing or not. 

If you are brewing, please include what recipe you are brewing (style and extract/all-grain) and the gallon size you will be brewing.

 

Weather: Big Brew is being held rain or shine, however if we have inclement weather brewing space may be limited the day of the event.
