I am a new member and I am not familiar with Big Brew Day (but I think I can infer what is going on).

Can someone post a summary of what activities will occur on this day and how members can participate/volunteer?

Thanks

In the keg: Wheat Beer, Russian Imperial Stout
In the bucket:
In the queue: Irish Red, American IPA

You can show up and brew by bringing your mobile brewhouse or just show up and drink/eat/party, bringing your mobile mouth, hands and stomach. It's pretty straightforward. Brewing onsite is not a requirement for attendance. Actually lots of folks just show up to be there.

It's a "gathering!"

Plus, you don't want to miss the infamous "Baconator!"

Sounds fun I may try to make it and I can bring or donate my brutus10 system if needed.

A time and location would be great. I assume there will there be power and water at the event to run pumps and chill?

I won't be brewing but I am planning to show up to support those that are. I'll bring beer!

Can someone, anyone, that has the club hats bring one (or more) tomorrow so I can buy one?

I didn't know until this week that we even had hats! I guess I need to make it to more meetings...
