Teach a Friend To Homebrew Day THC event on 11/8/2008:
At Lloyd and Anne's house, and the we are getting volunteers but as of 10/16/08 we can still take a couple more.  The club will pay for half ingredient cost, up to $20 per person (i.e. half of $40).  All brewers, old new, middle-aged, and not-yet-brewers are invited to attend and observe and enjoy the good company!  We are also lending all the equipment necessary, providing bottles for any who need them, and plenty of help and advice for whoever wants it.   We need to firm up our "friends" list so that recipes are nailed down and ingredients are ready to go.	Brewing starts at noon or a bit before.  Click on the map here for better map and the address.

*Not all kits are good or even OK.  These Brewers' Best kits have given some great results for us and people we know.  NEVER add "sugar" (meaning white sugar, sucrose) even if it says on a kit's instructions.  And corn sugar should be kept to an absolute minimum as well.  (It's a bad kit that calls for sucrose or corn sugar, but easy improvements can be made to change it to an acceptable or good batch.) 

And YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE A KIT.  There are other ways to start.  Find a recipe and make a list of ingredients -- we'll figure a way to get them here if we know what you want by Wednesday afternoon.  Extract batches are the simple way to start, but some crazy people once in a while start with an all-grain batch.
