Greetings Bier Meisters,
APRIL 15 MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
Please join us on Friday, April 15 at the VFW Post 7397 in Lenexa to enjoy a special presentation “Many Brains Make Great Beer” hosted by Dann Sarcy and Joe Rose. No, we won’t really be making beer out of brains (although somebody probably has), but we are going to pick everybody’s mind on common methods and techniques such as ‘Cold-Crashing’, ‘First Wort Hopping’ and a dozen other subjects. Within our group is a library of brewing knowledge that if unleashed could make us all better brewers. With a spin of the wheel and a draw from the hat, this will be a fun, fast-paced and educational game with a few rules so that everyone comes out a winner (and likely a better brewer).
