bq. Greetings fellow fish,

bq. This Saturday is the annual AHA Big Brew Day, which also coincides with our
monthly group brew. Homebrewers all across the world will be working off of
a similar set of recipes, brewing beers that will be tallied and posted by
the AHA. This year's recipe is a clone of Fullers Chiswick Bitter. This
beer was choosen because it was a favorite of the late, great beer champion
Michael Jackson.

bq. The brew will be at my new residence, 1983 NE Jackson Avenue, and we'll
start around 10:30AM. I will be unveiling my new brew system this weekend,
known as the Ark. Kris Cate and I spent a lot of time and money on this
work of art, and welcome all of you to come by and check it out. I will be
brewing up a batch of something strong and dark on the new system, but would
like someone to bring enough gear to brew a five gallon extract batch of the
Chiswicks Bitter. I already have the ingredients rounded up, and a healthy
yeast cake to dump the brew onto.

bq. This weekend's brew will also serve as our unofficial COHO de Mayo party.
We'll be making tacos with all the fixings, along with my ever popular queso
dip. We'll have the club's lime lager on tap, as well as keg of Silver
Moon's Snake Bite Porter.

bq. I'll forward a map in a separate email, to follow shortly. Hope to see
everyone on Saturday!

bq. BT

bq. Just wanted to give you a reminder that out monthly meeting is coming up this Wednesday, at 6:30PM, at the Brew Shop. We'll have a couple of different COHO beers to sample, Crystal Red Persausion and Chiswick's Bitter. I'm sure that the Food Committee will bring some tasty nibbles, but please bring some homebrews for everyone to sample, and some donations for the raffle. We have a few great leftovers from the Spring Fling to throw in to the raffle, so come on out and buy some tickets. We'll also have ribbons and paperwork from the Spring Fling, so track down one of the execs if you're looking for anything. Also, we'll have a quick round table about hop farming to see how everyone is doing with their rhizomes. I'll also update everyone about some upcoming events, hop madness and BBF included. Hope to see you all on Wednesday PM.

bq. Greetings fellow fish,

bq. We'll be having our monthly group brew this Sunday at Jerry O's beautiful residence on the south side of town. The brew will begin at 10:30AM. His address is 60301 Woodside Loop, 97702. "Here's a link to a map":http://www.mapquest.com/maps/60301+woodside+loop+bend+or+97702/

bq. We've dug a recipe out of the COHO archives, dating back to the first group brew we had at Jerry's house. We'll be seeing a return of the Big Beaver Pale Ale. Big Beaver is a refreshing American style pale, here's the specifics -

bq. 20 lbs American 2 row
2.5 lbs Crystal 60
1 lb Carapils
1oz Magnum @ 60
2oz Columbus @ 10
2oz Simcoe @ 0
American ale yeast

bq. OG should be around 1.050, with about 40 IBUs. This should be a great, easy drinking summer beer. Jerry says he might have a keg of IPA on tap by the time Sunday rolls around, but I encourage all of you to bring a couple of homebrews with you for sampling. I'd also encourage everyone to bring some chairs if they plan on sitting, as this seems to be a recurring problem at our brews. Jerry says he'll work on some chili, and I'll be bringing some queso dip. We hope to see everyone on Sunday - come on out, the weather should be great!

bq. BT
