-
Off flavors class
-
Water workshop
-
-
-
Brewhouse supervision requests: There will be instant supervision on Tuesday Brewsdays, Stylin’ Sundays, Brew 101, etc. If you need a supervisor for brewing, reserve a spot during these times.
-
New member feedback is that it's very challenging to coordinate 3 supervised brew dates. New brewers request supervision but hear nothing for days. Brock will check with Conrad about how to get those messages pushed to emails. CHAOS should make it easier or standardized on how to get this done. CHAOS should sponsor brewing kits for brew 101, or at a minimum do the shopping.
-
Group buy will open in a couple days. Close and deliver after stout night. Maybe add brew 101 extract to the group buy
-
Gino's competition closes February 3. Judging February 10 at CHAOS at 5pm, winner announced around 8pm. Sign up on the forum. Read the BJCP style guide and stick to that. Use label-less bottles.
