I have a mild smoked pumpkin ale/saison (dual yeast). Calling it 'Child of Fall Harvest.'
Information on when to bring and where? This is my first event. How do I tag it?
It's only 4 gallons in a 5-gallon container, so will slosh a bit coming from Maquoketa.
Some settle time probably would be good.

You can drop off kegs at Benz on Friday. I talked to them last Saturday while we were brewing for National Home brew Day and I was told they are making room in their cooler for our kegs. As for tagging your keg, just label it with what beer is in it and your name. I also like to include my phone number in case the keg gets misplaced.

Remember, if you bring beer to pour, admission is free.

Did anyone get an app/link together for signing up for coordination on the tap?

Just a note on bringing your kegs. While you may drop off your kegs on Friday you don't HAVE to. For those of us out-of-towners that's often not practical. You may also just bring them the day of the event.

Yes. Not before 10:30. But the bar needs to be there at 11.

Looks like chance of rain tomorrow so lots of canopies would be good.
