Beer, not rocket chemistry
I am looking for feedback and input on a club idea I have.
I want to form a club that is all about brewing.
I would like to get together and brew, particularly with an eye on style and competitions (club-only and the like).
I want to do it mostly at my house, using my system, which can turn out a solid 45 gallons. I am also planning on building a walk-in, so we could ferment and condition the beers appropriately.
I am thinking a small club, maybe 6 or 7 members, meet once a month on a Friday after work. I am off on Fridays, so everything could be ready early.
The club would focus on designing recipes, using appropriate ingredients, including yeast. Maybe lay out an annual schedule of brews, make assignments, that kind of thing.
Then send beers to competitions.
Of course we would need to sample, evaluate and judge. Taste commercial examples.
I am also thinking of being selective in membership. Get the good brewers together and see what can come from it.
So, is this too geeky or elitest? Maybe it would be the EAC Brewers Guild or something like that.
Thoughts...
