Iron Brewer 2012

Cahill Winery (map)

Selected By: Bob Peak

Ten teams will bring their breweries (see the January 17 sign-up Meetup for details). Three surprise ingredients will be revealed and all will brew. Tasting and judging will follow at the March meeting.

 

Also, some time during the brew day we will have a tech talk:

New member and long time brewer Paul Feinstein will join us and give a short talk about a yeast strain that he brought to the US from Belgium and will be released very soon by Wyeast as a platinum seasonal release.  Paul says it will be released under the name "Belgian Stout" and he will explain the strain, his history with it, and its applications.

    @Bob - Of course, Iron Brewer is perfect for new brewers to see to get inspired. Send them to the event, and tell them to bring homebrew!

    I've just spoken with Don Payne and he is willing to fire up the locomotive BBQ for
    us this Sunday! So if you would like to eat some BBQ, every group or family should
    bring along a raw chicken or veggies wrapped in tin foil. The resulting feast will
    be shared, so don't expect to get your exact piece of chicken back. Also, please
    bring along a side dish to share with all so everyone stays happy and well fed all
    day. And bring homebrew!

    This is my favorite event we do all year. This year's surprise ingredients....D2 Candi Syrup, Dark French Oak Chips, and ..... DATES?! The tasting in March could be very strange. Can't wait!

    Great group of people who were having fun and sharing lots of information.

    My first time at Iron Brewer and it was a great event. Interesting to adjust a recipe on the fly with the addition of mystery ingredients, and to do a triple decoction mash for the first time. The group is always fun and supportive.

    I think all the meetups have been great. Despite competition, all was friendly and folks didn't mind talking about their process. A great fringe benefit was.. they didn't mind sharing their bomebrew.. :D Cahill ROCKS. Thanks Don.
