Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

I have black and charcol also. I like the black one personally.

I could bring a growler of smoke porter and pale ale. Dave

Brian, do you know if we need to bring posts from which to hang the banner, or are there going to be tent-like booths (like at Amana)? I probably have some posts I can bring if necessary. I'll be there at noon and will be wearing either my black t-shirt or my charcoal work shirt, depending on the weather (or my work shirt over my t-shirt). Beer wise, I will bring a growler of smoked porter and a growler of pale ale.

I believe they will have tents so we should be able to hang the banner from the tent.

I'll try and be there around 11:30am to help set up. As I said earlier, I'll bring 6 22oz bottles (3 Baltic Porter & 3 Irish Draught Ale).

Wednesday at 3rd Base works for me to get our act together, what time?

tb

I can come down a little early to help set up. I will only be able to stay a couple hours. I plan on bringing 2 gallon jugs of some dark wheat. I just tried it and it seems drinkable, though a little lite on alcohol. I will try to show up either night to make plans, let me know.

Tom

I can meet tomorrow (wed) after 7:30 or so. Larry, please call my cell as I won't have email before then.

I will be there from setup until close. Anyone want to meet at the Diner on 1st for breakfast before?

I have the banner and hanging it under control.

I also went out tonite and bought a restaurant dry erase board - figured a beer list won't work so well with so many possible combinations of what and when, so we can just run the board with 'what's on tap'. I have a stand for the board under control.

I have 2 full kegs of beer, coffee stout and kiwi wit, and am completely self contained with what I need to serve them. I have a 1/2 keg of Belgian Saison made with grapes, ginger and juniper that I might bring just for giggles...but I do love it so....my precious...can't have my presssousss.....

Anyone have a kickass PaleAle or IPA? (Amy...)

A club flier sounds great.

Had the video, never watched it, threw it out.

Wearing black shirt and pink thong...


Mark

Thanks for picking up the board Mark. Danny has a football game at 2pm, so I don't know what time I will be able to get over to Benz.

Dave

I am still out for the event. Can't come Wednesday night either. I am headed to Chicago Thursday and Friday on short notice (Yesterday afternoon). Sounds like you have it under control.

Breakfast at Diner on First...yum. I love the Heartstopper! Wish I could be there.

I will have 100 flyers printed out. I don't have much in it for events. I am just putting in the next three club meetings and to check the website for additional information. I did add Mark's name on the back for Iowa homebrewer of the year.

I have to go move playground equipment sat morning so no breakfast for me. Depending on when I get done, I will be down there after I get cleaned up. Mark, you wearing the thong on your head? I really hope so.

I have some really crappy beer I couuld bring. Peated Porter, sugar saison they don't suck but they're not very good either. Let me know what you think. Most of you have tasted both of them.

I am probably out both nights for meeting. Way to many kid activities going on this month.

Dave, did you find your VHS homebrewing tape? I can't find mine.

I have a couple of kegs, nothing to write home to mom about though (just starting up again after a long winter hibernation). I think I have 2 beers that the fermentation got stuck on "Sweet Rye" and a”sweet raspberry" wheat. I also have a little stout and don't know how much of the Texas Imperial brown I have left I will check.

Something else that would be easy to do and would make the table look a little nicer is some beer ingredients. We could display a handful of a light and dark malt, a small bottle of extract, and perhaps some hops maybe a few whole hops and some pellets. Since it doesn’t sound like we will be sporting much for beer, this may get people asking questions.

As for time, I could be there early to help set up but I have a something else going on later in the afternoon; so I would probably have to leave around 2 (but may be able to get back at about 4 for the last hour and tear down).

Jeremy

I looked last night and I was unable to locate the tape or dvd.

Dave

So gang, is there going to be a meeting tonight or not?

I might just drop by 3rd Base for dinner anyway, probably 6:30-ish.

I like Jeremy's idea of having beer ingredients. Show and tell is a good thing. To show off how easy brewing is, I could bring my first poly bucket/airlock, so folks can see it doesn't take elaborate equipment to make beer.

Can someone bring a grain sack or two for "decoration"?

Maybe some copies of Zymurgy mag? A Northern Brewers' catalogue? So folks can get an idea of prices for equipment and ingredients.

I could look and see.

I believe that I have the latest copy of the Northern Brewer catalog sitting around somewhere. As for ingredients, I have plenty of those. Just got to find some containers that the wife will let me take out of the house. We have a forum up already for what people are bringing to that (don't we). If there is I will put some stuff up there, if not will create one.

Jeremy

I have the midwest supplies dvd. I will bring that, a small tv, and a dvd player. I will be available the whole time, unfortunatly I have nothing ready to drink. I needed an excuse to go to 3rd base, so I'll also be there about 6:30 ish.
