Oh, one more thing. We want to start brewing about 9:30 so please try to be at my house about 9am to setup if you plan on brewing. You can also bring over your equipment friday. Just send me a mail and let me know if you would like to set it up Friday afternoon or evening. If you are not brewing, show up anything after 9:00.

A big thanks for Brian for hosting the "Teach a friend to Homebrew" event last Saturday. I thought everything ran quite smoothly and we had great attendance.

Thanks to everyone who attended the event. It was a great success. We had a lot of people attend who were truly interested in the brewing process. I'm hoping we can turn a few of these people into future brewers.

Also, thanks to everyone who brought food and beer. There was plenty to go around. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

I can't wait to taste the results of the brew. I should be ready for the Holiday party so hopefully we can sample it then if not before.
