Club Posts

This Sunday's meeting has been moved forward to 1PM.

October 8th @ Union

• BaltiBrew has a table for the Guild Holiday Party on Saturday, December 2nd. We have a group committed but anyone who wants to help out is encouraged to join! More information to come but it tentatively looks to be held in Jessup.
• A few members did a tour of the Baltimore Spirits Company and they said they'd love for the club to swing by for a tour/potentially host a meeting (blending your own whiskey bottle would be extra). We are looking at November or January.
• There is interest in organizing another cider buy this year. More to come.
• A few BaltiBrewers are competing in the Checkerspot Homebrew Extravaganza (supporting BARCS) on Wednesday, October 18th from 6-9PM. Tickets are $10 at the door. It would be great for the club to come out and support them.
• Monument's Festival der Lagerbier is this Saturday and several BaltiBrewers are attending. Tickets are still available http://www.monumentcitybrewing.com/festival-tix.
• Many thanks to Jon for coordinating a blind ingredient tasting/discussion. It was super fun/informative and a great test for the palate!

To accommodate other events, this Sunday's meeting will be moved forward to 1PM.

June 11th @ Union

Pints for Paws

• Thank you to Gerry and Emily for representing at Pints for Paws! It sounds like there were around 600 people at the event which means they once again raised a ton of money for the SPCA of Anne Arundel County. Woohoo!

Mashout

• Camp Mashout is back for 2023 and registration is now open! This is a 4-day outdoor celebration of the homebrewing hobby held, this year, in Cumberland, MD. This year the event will run from August 18th-21st. For a schedule of events or to get tickets visit https://mashout.ticketspice.com/mashout.
• BaltiBrew members interested in attending can coordinate on campsite/transportation with Jon.

Terrapin Homebrew competition

• Congrats to Kevin for winning a first place prize!

Guild notes

• The May Guild Meeting Minutes are attached. There are a lot of awesome events kicking into gear including a BJCP class organized by BURP.

Website

• The BaltiBrew website could use a refresh. Anyone with design or web skills can reach out to the board to help.

Ed Topic

• This month's ed topic was all about Baltimore’s water in anticipation for our tour of the Ashburton Filtration Plant this Friday at 2:15 PM. You can check out the original blog posts from 2018 here. If you’re planning to come on Friday please plan to arrive at the parking lot at 2 PM to meet the rest of the group.

Iron Brewer

• Iron Brewer California Common a.k.a. Steam Beer will be held at the August meeting. Brewers are to use lager yeast but ferment at ale temperatures.

Homebrew Swap!

Due to a conflict with Mother's Day, the May BaltiBrew meeting has been moved back one week to Sunday, May 21st.
