South Australian Brewing Club (SABC) is a club based in Adelaide where beer and brewing enthusiasts can collaborate and discuss the brewing of beer at home or at the craft brewing level. We welcome members from all over South Australia.

We have a need for hands-on folk to undertake the construction of HMAS “Soon To Be Named” for the ANHC club night. We are converting a wooden row boat into a super-bar, with taps, cask and hand pump, and hopefully even a hoppinator.
The following vacancies are open, the more the merrier:
Please contact Gary at garyandlee4@bigpond.com or 0417 893 321
There is 5 weeks until the AGM it would be great to most of the construction done by then and an unofficial launch shortly after.
As the local club this year, we have no excuses not to pull off something amazing, so even if you can only spare an afternoon, if you have some time and skills to offer please step up.
We’re off to lead the Pirate Life (well, for an afternoon at least)!
The next SABC social event will be held at Pirate Life Brewing, on Sunday August 28th. Walking the plank from 12:30pm onwards, there will be a brewery tour of course, plus food and beer. BYO witty banter and pirate shenanigans. There will be a prize for the best pirate costume, and other fun stuff. We’re still thrashing out the details, but the date is locked in. See you there, me hearties!
We are trialling Compmaster, which is a web application, for this year’s Winter Competition, and I’m happy to announce that the competition is now live on the website. You can get to the Compmaster website here. Once the page has loaded you will need to create an account, after which you will be able to choose the SABC Winter Competition from the “Select a Competition” tab, and proceed to fill out one or more entry forms.
The process is pretty straight forward and self-guiding, however if anyone has any difficulties please send us an email.
The Calendar page is finally live, and you can check it out here. At the moment there are only a couple of entries in it, but from now on we will be adding in all SABC meetings and events, as well as any other events (competitions etc.) that we come across. You can export ics calendar entries, which will allow you to add events to your own calendars. If you experience any difficulties, please let us know.
The June meeting is coming up, and it should be another interesting one. This month’s topic is “All Grain vs Extract”, and we will have two beers to compare and discuss, brewed by Luke and Simon, which were brewed especially for the meeting. Hopefully we will all learn a bit about recipe conversion, and factors to take into account when doing so.
As always, if you have a beer you would like to present, please email us and bring along three longnecks ore equivalent. Please be prepared to talk about your beer and have as much info on the recipe and brewday as possible.
See you at the Wheaty on Wednesday the 15th, 7pm out the back.
