Club Brew System update
* Collapseable gravity system
* Three Burner
* Gravity
* Will be able to fit in a small pick-up, or station wagon
* The Club will not supply propane for the system
* We will need grinding and welding help on the day/s of the build. Please contact Tim K. if you are interested in participating- sailortim@gmail.com
*I'd like to thank Tim K for his leadership with this project, without Tim this project would still be in the idea stage. An additional thanks to Tyler West & Tom Brohamer for donating the equipment, and Chris Cate for donating his considerable stainless steal welding skills. This project is a great example of why the club is so great- we have a lot of talented people among us and we can get a lot done with everyone's skills and expertise.

Teach a friend to Brew Day: Again another banner year. We had four brews going at once. And thanks to the guys at The Brew Shop for hosting us. I'm not sure what happened that day, as I was watching my Oregon Ducks get crushed by Stanford.:

December Group Brew: Geoff Marlowe will host. Check the Wiki.

Thanks to Meryl (sorry, Meryl, if I spelled your name incorrectly) Koaster for the wonderful food. I think the club is in agreement that was one heck of a spread. We can't thank you enough.

Heather has volunteered to cook next month. THanks Heather

Items club members would like to see on this next agenda: I may have rushed through this at the end of the meeting, so if you have suggestions for next month's meeting just email me.

Lastly, I'd like to extend a welcome to the new faces at the last meeting, including Joe's friends, and the guys from the east coast. Thanks for coming, and I swear I'll learn your names by next meeting.
