November Collective Brew — Mead Day!

Greetings, Baltibrewers! We hope you're all over your BBW'13 hangovers, and cordially invite you to join us in our annual Mead Day with our big sister club, Wootown. This is one of our premier brew days for the year —  and it's made all the better by the gorgeous environment, and the opportunity to meet brewers in another, and quite possibly many other clubs. If you haven't been before, it's an Autumn tradition for us and we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we have.

Basic Mead Details:

• Saturday November 2nd, 11 a.m. start time  at the home/apiary of Wootowners Lloyd and Ruth-Ann Snyder (4747 Norrisville Road, White Hall, MD 21161)
• Honey is $4 per pound (you can work out how much you need once you're there), and Snyder's takes cash, check, or credit card.
• A variety of yeasts, and yeast nutrient are available from Thirsty Brewer's Tom Davidson for $5 (or you can bring your own).
• You will need a clean fermenter, lid or cap, and airlock.
• Wootown is bringing its ultra-cool, inline water heater, so there's no waiting for large volumes of water to heat up.

Not so basic Mead Braggot Melomel, etc. Details:

• You can brew something other than a mead if you want, just recognize that most others will be doing simple meads.
• Bring your own equipment if you intend to do a more complex brew — burners, tuns, chillers, etc.
• Show up with a recipe! and some idea how you'll accomplish what you're doing.

As usual — but this time more vociferously insisted upon — bring food and homebrew (Mead, wine, beer) to share. Wootown and its members do an excellent job sharing dishes, and homebrew at this event, and this is an opportunity for us to shine AND be the courteous guests we know we are. Please don't show up empty handed!
