I have been nominated to head up a "Man Night" kind of event at my Church, they want to brew beer (and drink beer) together and knowing that I brew beer they've nominated me to head it up. They tried it once before but nobody had much experience so the brew they made was disappointing and under-carbonated/flavorless.
Also, I need to fit the whole brewing process into about 3-4 hours time since the only time to do it is on a Friday night. Also, since I am terrible at delegating I'm not sure how to divide up work there amongst people (to make them feel a "part" of it). I think I might have to do extract with specialty grains because I'm afraid of trying to do a partial mash because of the time involved.
Has anyone done a group brewing with 90% new people before? Thankfully the church bought all the gear for it last time (except a wort chiller dangit!) so I won't have to use any of mine (except maybe the 10 gallon MLT I might be building).
