Yes it's that time of year again, and once again some of us from HBT/Michigan Mashers are going to represent at one of the coolest events in the area.
The event is THIS Saturday. Nov. 6th 2010
We usually have a tent and some tables set up to brew on. There will be several of us brewing (including myself) and demonstrating different types of homebrewing from Extract to all grain.
There are also various other clubs and groups brewing (including the "Mead Mommas" making honey wine.) There is always plenty of beers to sample, provided by Cap N Cork, and the CRAFT homebrewing club, plus most fold bring some of their own to share.
There is usually about 100 or more folks brewing during the day and several hundred folks hanging, and drinking.
Learn to Homebrew Day (formerly known as Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day) was established by the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) in 1999 to enable people interested in beer and homebrewing to learn how to brew. Learn to Homebrew Day occurs annually on the first Saturday in November, when homebrewers around the world are encouraged to learn how to brew or teach someone how to brew.

Around 100 of us will be doing brewing demonstrations, sharing our best beers and meads, as ...well as answering questions and helping people get started in the hobby.
Come spend a few minutes, or the day, come to learn and observe (or simply sample) or join us to brew. If you are planning to brew contact me via message and we'll coordinate details.
Cap N Cork's is on on the southeast corner of Garfield and 21 Mile in the Country Meadows Plaza. The event is actually in the back parking lot. And not visible from the front, you can either park in the front and walk through the store or park in the back. If you go around the back you can't miss the even. The address is 16812 21 Mile Rd Macomb, MI 48044.
We have a bit of an issue this year, Terrapinchef usually brings a tent and some tables. But he's got to work, and will only be stopping by later, so we don't have our usual setup. If anyone can bring either or both let me know.
We have a bit of a communal vibe going, sharing stuff like wort chillers, so if you've never done one of these and want to brew, even extract, and can lay your hands on a turkey fryer, don't worry about not having a wort chiller....one of us will be bound to have it.
Feel free to bring beer, including your own to get tasted, especially if you have any questions or concerns. There's usually a few beer judges roaming around, willing to taste and critique.
So come on out. It looks like Mustangj, and I and one other will be brewing. We'd love to have more joining us.
Normally we start setting up and brewing around 10am.
