Category Archives: Club Bottling/Kegging

Tomorrow, 10 am at Josh Rosen's house just Northeast of Patterson Park.

This is a good opportunity to learn how to keg if you don't already know how to do so.

Happy pre-Thanksgiving, Baltibrewers!

Lots to discuss:

1. This Saturday (11/26) we're returning to Josh Rosen's house to keg our Guild Holiday Party beer. This is also a great time to finalize menu for our club hour and get things planned and sorted before we have to make the push to prep for the party.
2. This Sunday (11/27) a fellow club on the Eastern Shore (OCMHB) is holding their East vs. West competition in Berlin, MD. They still need judges and stewards, have about 67 entries, and will be putting up BJCP certified judges at a hotel for free. Details on their competition site.
3. A week from this Thursday (12/1) we will be meeting at Greg Slack's house to prepare for Saturday's Guild Holiday Party. More details on that to come.
4. And last but not least by any means, Guild Holiday Party is on Saturday Dec. 3rd. You already know if you're going, because tickets are sold out!

Hope you're having a great run-up to the holidays, and hope you get to drink some great beers with your Thanksgiving meal.

We will be bottling tomorrow, 2/19 at the same location listed in the last post.

Bring bottles if you have them. They need to be clean, must be brown and can't be twist offs. Doing so will reduce final costs and is good for the environment and stuff.

We will go over priming for "bottle conditioning," cleaning and sanitation (there is a difference), and discuss proper storage, and the effects of time on bottled beer. And then we'll move on to kegging and force carbonation.

We'll collect money for production costs, so bring a little cash. Bring beer if you want as well.

We expect to spend about 3 or 4 hours bottling.
