Manchester Homebrewers September Meeting

Post by Edward » Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:25 pm

The Manchester Homebrewers Group are having their next meetup on Sunday 15th September at 3pm in The Beermoth (70 Tib Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester).

Following on from a couple of requests from attendees to hold a feedback session, for our next meeting we're holding a group Q&A session, where everyone can come together and ask any questions that they have. Answers will be open to the floor so expect a wealth of ideas coming your way!

Feel free to bring along a couple of bottles, share them round with the group and get feedback on your brews.

Hopefully see some there!

That's a really, really good idea. Approximately how many people show up?

Edward, I have the inaugural meeting of a local brew club next Friday and am looking for ideas concerning content & structure. Do you have any "templates" that yours have used that I could, ahem, "borrow"? I want to make sure that it gives everyone a good experience so that the whole thing grows.

Fermenting:
Conditioning:
Drinking: Southwold Again,

Up Next: John Barleycorn (Barley Wine)
Planning: Winter drinking Beer

great to hear a new club being set up!!!

Structure (albeit quite loose!) goes something like;
-introductions and hellos
-main feature, e.g. Q&A session, inviting a local brewer to talk about a specific topic (Dominic from Thornbridge gave a brilliant talk on water treatment)
-ideas for the next meeting
-bottle swap, tasting and feedback (although this is done throughout we focus on this at this point)
-AOB

If organised, we also have a brewing competition (everyone brews the same style and submits their entry for the group to try and rate)

Hope that helps,
Edward

Thanks Edward, are they all AG brewers or do you have a mix?
