National HomeBrew Day!
Heading up to Newmarket - a suburb’s suburb north of TO - to celebrate the Big Brew - the US National Homebrew Day with the Southern Ontario Brewers - or SOBs. Rather than actually try to do anything serious, like packing up my own set-up and demonstrating the wonders of Brew-In-A-Bag (BIAB) homebrewing, I am going to assist JJ with his brew. He’s preparing a batch for a homebrew competition - I believe this is now his 3rd round, so perhaps the top level. As he is generously letting me keep half the batch, I have no issues being his side-kick for the day.
Looking forward to meeting these SOBs - have had a chat with George Leet, who I guess is their leader. Most annoyingly, they have decided not to have a publicly accessible website or blog or anything, rather they have hidden themselves within Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=15448345999. This of course means that non-Facebook members like me can only peripherally participate (I know what you are thinking: “Oh, get over it and join already!”, but my procrastination tendencies are bad enough without adding Facebook to the mix!).
Will post pics of the happenings.
