Our September meeting consisted of a small number of members who braved going to downtown Mountain View during the Annual Arts and Wine Festival. We discussed this year’s club brew, a tour of Admiral Maltings, and NCHF. Then we tasted three great homebrews. Thanks to Stein’s and everyone who showed up.
– We welcomed Joe to the club.
– Club brew: The recipe will be the same biere de Noel recipe we brewed last year. We need to set a date. Last month Nathan offered to host the brewing and has the equipment necessary to brew and ferment 15 gallons of beer.
– Admiral Maltings tour: Stephan will put in a request for a tour for 10-40 people in October. The club has enough money to hire a bus to get participants to Admiral’s facility in Alameda. Once the date is set, a Google form will be sent out to see who is interested in going. We will need people to RSVP in order to know how large a bus to hire.
– NCHF (Northern California Hombrewers Festival): The festival will be held September 20-22. Several members will be going. More information at: https://nchfinfo.org/
