The wort will be divided up amongst those who wish to participate. The total cost ($420) will also be divided amongst everyone. For example: 10 people, doing 10 gallon batches will cost everyone $42.

Big Brew
When: May 4th, 2013
Where: Dragoon Brewing Company.
Toast: 10am (noon CDT)
Brewing and Cleanup complete by 3pm.
Dragoon will be doing the mash for us, using the following recipe: Franco Belges Pils = 80% Gambrinus Pale = 20%. This will yield 250 gallons @ 1.053 gravity. This will cost $420. The recipe calls for 13 oz dextrose / 5 gallons of wort not included in the price. The more people we get in this, the cheaper it is. 10 people $42 each, 20 people $21 each, excluding additional sugars, hops, and yeast. Dragoon will also have some D2 syrup at $2.80/lb if you want to go that route.
Obviously, you don't have to take this route. You can bring your whole rig and brew what you like.

We'll be putting on our own competition. There's plenty of time to think about what to brew and to brew it.
This is an important month for the Tucson Homebrew Club. We're electing new officers! You have to be a paid member to vote and to run. We are still taking dues for the year. If you were not at the last meeting but feel like running for a officer position, don't fret. We'll take some last minute nominations. If no one else is nominated, since there are only 5 positions and 5 people running, those 5 will automatically become elected.

Matt Covingtion - Treasurer
Shawn Cochran - Minister of Education
Shawn Halstead - Events Coordinator
Freddie Sanchez - Web guy.
