Good morning all:


We will be brewing this Sunday, August 18th at 2pm. We are open to suggestions for what we are going to brew, so please reply all with any suggestions. This will be a 5 gallon batch to try out our new brew stand and all-grain system. Once we figure the system out, we can move on to 10 gallon batches. There are many members with outstanding dues, so please get them in soon. Thanks.

Yet Another Hopfengarten Update

I'm sure everyone has had enough of my Hopfengarten updates, but these plants absolutely amaze me. All three varieties are growing well, but the Galena has taken off. I had to add a third horizontal stringer last night. Please feel free to take a look at the new photos.
