Welcome

Welcome to SPARGE homebrew club. We are a group of beer enthusiasts that meet monthly to sample and discuss homebrews and commercial craft beers. We host annual events like Big Brew Day, Learn to Homebrew Day, Family Picnics and a Holiday party. We host quarterly commercial beer samplings into our meetings, where members are encouraged to make a similar style beers for comparison, discussion and feedback. Also new this year are the DIY build nights, where a member that wants to share how to build a piece of brewing equipment gives a hands on demonstration during a monthly meeting.

Attention Barrel folks: The beer is coming out.  The deadline was to have containers to Nick by Saturday the 16th.  As of right now he only 2 5gallons of the 60 we need to move out of the barrel so we can start the rebuild.  Please get your containers (kegs, carboys, buckets) to Nick via DIY or coordination with Nick directly.

Next Meeting - March  9th 

Members are encouraged to bring in any homebrews they are looking to receive feedback on.
