January Update:
The new year has begun and many of us have already checked off our first brew day of 2023, while some of us are still in the planning phase of our first brew day. It is certain that every member of this club is looking for new goals this year when it comes to brewing. It always seems to me that each year I see tick by in this club the quality of the beer continues to get better and better. This is the result of many of us being interested in the many facets of homebrewing that we can find our ways into as well as gleaning good information off each other as a club. I look forward to another year of great beers and some good competition with OTMP.
It is also worth mentioning that this year marks the 11th year of the club. What started as Gordon and Dean sitting around drinking beers and finding others that were interested in good beer has now grown into a club with an active roster of 40 members. Cheers to our own success and our drive to keep this great thing moving forward.
Club Membership Update:
We have collected dues from 16 members thus far. We also now have evidence of our insurance policy that we collectively purchased. At the moment Colter and Evan are currently working on getting all the paperwork together to open a bank account, seeming more work than we initially thought it would be.
Paid members at the moment are:
Chris L, Ryan P, Gordon Mick, Nathan Rooen, Cole Somenson, Colter Wilson, Evan Sherlock, Charles Bland, Dennis Neidfeldt, Cody, Dave Fuchs, Jeff Aikman, Sam Lemons, Chuck, Jim S
Any questions regarding dues can be sent to Colter or Evan
Barrel Project:
Dave has room for the barrel. If this project is going to get off the ground we need to determine people and a style this month.
Special Guest:
Julia Hertz will be joining us this month and delivering a talk at the beginning of the meeting. You can read more on Julia here on her bio page.
