I agree! I think the original appeal of the club was starting up in Annapolis as the centerpoint and going out from there but I don't want to spread out too far. At the same time I don't want to reschedule constantly because a few members have conflict. All of us have lives outside of the club, and scheduling meetings around that will always be a problem. I think that settling on a specific day every month allows us to plan well into the future.

It looks like someone has a conflict with the 14th so I say we stick to the 21st. I really like Clint and Jay and will be disappointed that they can't make it to the second meeting, but we're all going to miss meetings if the club continues. I say lets settle on the same day every month (currently third Thursday) and then we can start focusing on what to do at those meetings rather than when they're going to be scheduled. Agree/disagree?

agree. even if i can't make it, eviljay will be my voice.

Agree with setting a recurring date and members can participate as available. If there's a month where everyone's got a conflict, you can move the date, or an ad hoc meeting might pop up at another time when folks are available.

Location is important. I do have the preference that most are in the Annapolis area, but understand if we're so cool that it draws in other areas. Depending on time, I may or may not be able to attend a meeting outside the area.

I have a reasonably sized back yard and could volunteer to host at a future meeting if we want to continue to do these at people's houses. If it rains, we'd be screwed, but outside there's decent room.

I figure since I didn't stake a claim at the first meeting, I'll have to take a backseat to the evilJay so will henceforth be known as "the other Jay" or "the awesomer Jay".

I have friend who owns a bar near weems creek for what is worth.

Agree on 3 Thursday's.. Deale is only 25 min south not a big issue at all.

Agree.

 

[Clint04]

Agree. I realize I'm not going to make every meeting, so it probably is better to have a set day each month.

 

[gotsumbeers]

I agree with the regular date thing. I'll keep looking for somewhere to have our meetings. My house will be an option, but not for the next meeting. I'm not up in the Annapolis area much, but I'd be happy to visit some places and talk to some owner/managers. Any suggestions?

Superspy- beware the meat sweats...power through them and you'll be good to go for a few more weenies.

Anyone wanna throw down on a group buy yet? There's a guy in Takoma park, md that buys in bulk. A 55lb sack of 2 row is $37. most sacks are generally that price from him. I only need half of that right now though. I'm flexible on my base
Malt, let me know

I'll split that with you. You pick the malt. I'll pick the hops and we'll brew a SMASH brew with my half!

 

[Kmcogar]

Cool, I'll let you know when it's coming.

monday hit for those not glued to computers over this beautiful week-end!

 

[SuperSpy]

Krissy, we've moved some of our discussions over to e-mail. If you message me your e-mail address then I can add you.

 

[Kmcogar]

Hey guys, I didn't want to add this to our meeting convo so I am posting it here.

I am going to pick up some grain on Friday. The guy has some other stuff as well. Let me know if you want some or if you want to split something.

1 sack of vienna is 43.06
1 sack 2 row is 36.77
1 sack of GP(golden promise) is 51.64

$40 for 1 gallon of starsan
$3 per pound PBW

$1 per pound of carapils
$1 per pound of Melonoidin

I think that's all he has right now. Let me know by Friday and we will work something out

 

[jamesmrea]

I would be up for a sack of 2 row. The grain mill I had on backorder just shipped today. PM me and we can work out the details.

 

[jaynik]

Any idea his source for the 2 row? I don't have a particular preference but would think transparency about it would make me more comfortable.

 

[jamesmrea]

From looking at the MD/DC Grain thread, it looks like CM (Canada Malting?)

The grain buy thread is completely transparent. Long, but transparent

 

[Kmcogar]

Yeah I'm not sure which type of 2 row.

-James,send me an email. My PM's don't work.

It's most likley Canadian Maltings I picked up 150lbs of grain from him a few weeks ago.

To anyone who's interested in joining our little club or seeing what it's all about that isn't on our email list yet, we're having a quick meeting tonight at Punks at the Annapolis Mall at ~6:30. We should be easy to find, i'll probably be standing on a table yelling at an Air Force Captain.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Don't worry, you couldn't have possibly missed much

 

[eviljay]

This was a very productive meeting. We got quite a bit hashed out. Also, Brooklyn sorachi ace "Saison" is magic in a bottle. I'll post up the meeting minutes in a little while.

AGREED. I brought it up last week as a damn fine example.

 

[eviljay]

Maybe that's why it was stuck in my head. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

 

[SuperSpy]

For anyone that finds this thread...

We have moved most of the discussion to e-mail. The next meeting will be Thursday, 21 June at 6:30pm. The location will be in Deale, MD. IPA will be the style so bring it if you got it. If you have something else then bring that too and you'll get some great feedback on your beer from a great group of brewers that will be expecting to share their beers and get the same type of feedback from you. More details to follow as we get closer.

 

[eviljay]

Im gonna send a bottle of my amazing ipa with Kurt. If there was a prize, I'd win two of them!

 

[eviljay]

What a nice day to brew.

I guess I could've posed this question here, too. Has anyone every primed their bottles with Maple Syrup? Any luck and/or noticeable Maple character?

I've never done anything like this but am really interested in how it turns out. Keep us all updated.
