SUMMARY:Big Brew Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Greetings Bier Meisters\, \nBacchus & Barleycorn will be hosting KCBM (as well as other local brew clubs) for 2022 Big Brew Day (BBD) on Saturday\, May 7 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Big Brew Day is an AHA event to highlight homebrewing by encouraging brewers to participate in homebrew demos and trials of official AHA recipes. This year’s recipes are for an American Lager and an Imperial Porter. Complete information for BBD (including the recipes) is here: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/…/big-brew…/ \nWe are hoping that you will come out for BBD to support KCBM and our local brewing community. Jake and Jackie at Bacchus & Barleycorn have a lot of awesome opportunities for our KCBM homebrewing all-stars to highlight their skills (and win some pretty cool prizes too)! \nCheck out the key details below: \n\nJake and Jackie are hosting brewers for BBD – bring out your brew rig and brew in the back of Bacchus and Barleycorn. This is a great opportunity to hang out with beer friends and spread the homebrewing magic!\nKCBM will bring out a jockey box (of course!) to show off how great homebrew beer is! If you have a keg you would like to share at the event\, please let us know by completing the event form (link below)!\nIf you’ve always wanted to test drive a Grainfather Brewing System\, then you are in luck because Jake and Jackie are offering up one of their Grainfather Systems for one of the brewers to trial. Jake will select the lucky brewer by raffle to use the Grainfather. Whether you are selected or not\, this is a great opportunity to get to see the system in action!\nJake and Jackie are sponsoring a competition for the best BBD lager. Participants may use the normal lager yeast or an alternate kviek. Winner will receive a Spike Flex Fermenter (awesome!!!). You do not need to brew at BBD to enter the competition\, but will need to purchase your ingredients at Bacchus & Barleycorn to be eligible to participate. Judging will be in August.\nNimble Brewing will be scaling up an Imperial Dark Beer. Brew up the BBD Imperial Porter recipe (or any other Imperial Dark that you like!) for your chance to brew at Nimble. Ingredients must be purchased at Bacchus & Barleycorn. The winning beer will be picked by the owners of Nimble Brewing.\n\nIf you are interested in participating or attending\, please complete this form for us to help with planning the day: https://forms.gle/PwxiqDptMjGd7uY16 \nThanks everyone!
