Dark and roasty, warm and toasty. Hello winter

Dark and roasty, warm and toasty. Hello winter. A quick sprint around what’s going on.

Last month’s meeting at Crafty Robot was great. Nice to go somewhere new and support them. Thanks, Jules, for the presentation on his frankenchiller/heater, too. If you’ve got a suggestion for a meeting venue, or a topic you’d like to present on, let us know.

SABC represent at Beer & BBQ

First, we’re doing a casual catch-up at Beer & BBQ this Saturday. If you’re going along, wear some club kit and watch out for members.

A suggested meet-up spot might get suggested on Facebook on Friday, so keep an eye out, or suggest one.

If you don’t have a ticket, jump onto it now. Tickets are selling out, probably because it’s the last time (so said Johnny Farnham… we’ll see).

If you’re going on Sunday or other times, share your plans in the group so you can find a wing-person.

Hang with members this weekend at Beer & BBQ

SABC’s BeerBBQ

Not to be confused with Beer & BBQ, our annual event that is more than 10 years old and will keep going. It is on Saturday, June 28. It’s a simple concept — everyone brings beer, everyone shares beer, and the club puts on an amazing smorgasbord of food.

Tickets for members are FREE (so renew your membership now), and for guests, it’s $30. They’ll be in the shop tonight. Please get a ticket so we know how many to cater for. There’s a whole spit this year.

It means brew this weekend (for BeerBQ and July’s winter comp!

June meeting — all about pH and water

Our resident water biologist and water quality expert will be hosting an explainer pH meters, how to use them, test them and why pH matters. Bring your pH meters for testing.

Award-winning homebrewers say it’s one of the most important changes they made to their brewing to take their beer to the next level.
