I was there for about an hour. Chatted with the VP of Craft and am thinking of joining. More people then I expected. The Nut brown on tap was really good and the Lime Cilantro was interesting.
I went over to a bud's house and checked out his three tier in action...RIMS with a Johnson controller, a couple Boilermakers, a keggle, a conical, kegs and CO2... I assisted in brewing 12 gallons of Dead Guy Ale Clone. And by assist, I mean I watched and drank a couple brews!
It was actually a smaller crowd than usual. There were at least a dozen regular brewers who weren't there brewing. A Lot of the regular Michigan Mashers from here weren't even there.
CRAFT meeting this Thursday ant Sherwoods FYI

I toured Karbach Brewing in Houston, then went to Defalcos HB shop to see who was brewing there, then went and had great pizza, then played pool, and now it's only 8:30 and I'm ready for bed! I love me some craft beer but 8 hours of full pint glasses makes one weak!

Revvy this looks awesome. Almost makes me wish I lived near Detroit !
I planned on building a raised garden and planting my hop rhizomes as well as brewing a belgian quad today. I only managed to get the first item on my list done. I am very satisfied with how it turned out though. Guess I'll get the brewing done tomorrow after work.:rockin:
I brewed a saison as well. It was a beautiful day here in Denver and a couple neighbors stopped by to ask about what I was doing. Great brew day, though I was a couple points off on my numbers. My lhbs had a similar event, but it is 40 min away and it just seemed like a hassle. Maybe next year.

Same thing I did lol, but we brewed a Brown ale this year. Cheers!!
Brewed up an Imperial IPA, my numbers too were a little off but I am still happy with the results. I also got a chance to make use of my newly converted kegerator (stoked). I too had a few neighbors stop by and inquire about the "killer smell" coming from the garage. Once they saw the kegerator they decided to hang out for a few and enjoy an ESB and a CDA I brewed up last month. All in all I would have to say it was a great NHD. Prost!
