Central Florida Home Brewers November Brewsletter

Florida Brewers Gathering!

 
Florida Brewers Gathering is coming up in just a few days!  CFHB will be co-hosting Florida Brewers Gathering along side with Broken Cauldron, and Orlando Homebrew Supplies.  Starting at 10am everyone is welcome to come and over to Broken Cauldron, setup your traveling brew system and brew some beer!  We are holding it in conjunction with the AHA's Learn to Brew day.

We have the competition also happening!  If you are one of the lucky folks to have grabbed a chance at the competition, you will be receiving 6 gallons of pre-made wort, and brewing it for a chance to brew it on the Broken Cauldron system!

There are still a limited number of spots open, so if you have not signed up yet....  Do it now!

The Windemere beer fest went without a hitch!  We had CJ helping us along with Lori and Paul Warwick, Dave Smith and myself John Sather. We poured 2 1/2 gallons of German Alt and 2 1/2 gallons of Belgian triple. Many club cards were handed out and it was a fun beer fest overall!

After I drove out to the Plyter's Belgium Beer party. I  brought a Lindemann's "going to hell" otherwise called a golden ale and a Allagash triple that party was attended by many Club couples. A fun time had by all.  A big thank you to the Plyter's for opening their home to the club for a great evening.

We discussed many aspects of events at our board meeting, seemingly wanting to cut back on events and focus more on socialized beer drinking.
