National Homebrew Day

[Tom]

OK, it's May 7th.

What are you doing on that day?

I will be brewing 30 gallons with my home brew club. We expect to brew 300++ gallons of brew.

Ill actually be brewing 2 - 5g. batches. I have a Bluemon clone recipe clearing right now and Ill be doing another Magic Hat #9 and a Cream Ale. Those are my 3 favorite and most of the people that come over my house loved those also. On a side note I opened up a bottle of beer (Nut Brown Ale with vanilla beans) that I brewed almost 6 years ago and it tasted as good as it ever did. I was truly amazed at this and didnt expect it. I must say that most of this time its been in my cellar on a shelf but hidden behind all my Sparkling wine and forgotten about. I thought I would be pouring it all out as I have about 3 six packs of this stuff left but dang nam it the stuff is awesome still!

5372 12oz. Bottles
...223 Cases of 12oz. bottles
6.72 Gallon Avg. per brewer
