AHA- National Homebrew Day

http://wiki.homebrewersassociation.org/BigBrew2010

First Saturday in May is right around the corner..

What do you guys think about the recipes they gave us?

Going to brew on homebrew day?

Going to brew AHA recipes or create your own?


Personaly, I am requesting the day off from work so i can brew with the local home brew club at the local brewery.
I am thinking about doing 2 batch's that day. The wheat and the scottish.
For kicks and giggles really. Might change the recipe up a little bit but it will all be donated or at least most of it for Octoberfeast.
