Agenda:
- This weekend is the spent grain event. Drop off your spent grain from a 19 or 20 April brew at Perfect on Saturday, 20 April, and the Libertyville Garden Club will compost it. Brew at the shop on Saturday and you get a discount on your grain!
- Big Brew is coming up on Saturday, 04 May. This being Star Wars Day, the theme of Big Brew will be Clone Wars.
- As in previous years, we will be gathering at Perfect for a group brew and hang out. If you are planning to brew on-site, be sure to coordinate with Andy for water and power needs.
- Feel free to bring food, preferably nothing that needs to be kept hot.
- There will be a bottle share too, so bring your finest beer.
- Please park at the derelict Mexican restaurant half a block west of Perfect.
- Our water testing meeting has been postponed, with its new date TBD, hopefully May or June. There was a request to follow this up with overviews of popular water chemistry applications (Brewfather, Bru’n Water, Beersmith, etc.).
- Mundelein Craft Beer Festival is coming up on Saturday, 08 June.
- There will be accommodations for a significant homebrewing presence: 20×60′ tent, 10 tables, with two people per table.
- There will be a competition for the best-dressed booth.
- This year the festival will be at a new location just south of Tonality Brewing.
