This is the first in a mutating, evolving and constantly growing newsletter. It will be re-calibrated. PLEASE let me know what you think of it. (I may not end up changing it the way you think it should change, but I still need to hear). Bill Pollard (blyrbow@bellsouth.net)
| Meeting Location CARBOY’s monthly meetings are currently held at the BB&Y Restaurant. BB&Y is located on the first floor of the Caswell Building at 3700 National Drive, in the Koger Center off Glenwood Avenue in West Raleigh. Owner Nick Jones allows CARBOY to meet monthly at his restaurant when we don’t have picnics or field trips scheduled. BB&Y is open for breakfast and lunch each week-day. We encourage members to visit BB&Y for a relaxed informal meal. Please let Nick now you’re from CARBOY when you visit his restaurant. |
1) Mike Dixon opened the meeting with a great demonstration of Counter Pressure Systems. He worked 2 or 3 over, but then got down to working detail on the one he has come to like best, which was the Ken Schwartz model, known as the Poor Man’s REAL Counter Pressure Bottle Filler. A good diagram and write-up can be found at the following WEB page (please cut and paste, it is not markup):

3) Homebrew day results were then discussed (later shared!) All were pleased except there was a momentary lapse in realizing who was to get the vials of yeast. They remain obtainable.
PLEASE remember that pickup is at Rock Creek on Thursday, June 14!!!!!
4) Bavariafest was then discussed by those who had attended. All remembered that it was great. Small selection but good quality. Not much else was remembered.
5) We then went into “TELL US ABOUT THIS BEER”, and it all went uphill/downhill from there.
