I thought I'd move this to a discussion to keep it consolidated. Kit suggested Isamu given their BYOB policy (and sushi!), which seems like a good fit for a first get together. I was also thinking…

I found a person selling a bunch of 5 gallon Glass Carboys for $20 each. I plan to swing by this week and buy a couple... If anybody wants one, I can grab it while I'm there. They also have some winemaking equipment.

Here is the link if you catch me after I've picked up... they are somewhere in orange county. http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/for/1831277043.html

Comment by Barry on July 12, 2010 at 11:37pm: Yes, we plan on brewing batches that we'll donate to the next Cat Coalition event. I'm thinking of trying a new American Pale Ale recipe. Also, I'm all for having a meeting on the 21st too. I think it'd be a great opportunity for people interested in learning about brewing/craft beer to meet the group just before the Brew-Ha-Ha.

Comment by John T Graham on July 12, 2010 at 6:25pm: Is that the brew for the Cat Coalition?

Comment by Erica Bacon on July 11, 2010 at 8:30pm: Yes, Brew Ha-Ha, breakfast, brewing outside, lunch, etc....

We'll be getting together July 24th at Barry's house, starting at 9:00 am. I figured the 21st (was already booked before we thought up this new adventure), we could discuss who was bringing what, etc. We could always just communicate via Beaconcitizen and skip the 21st if there's some time commitment issues. Any thoughts? Any suggestions for what beer we can brew that day?

Comment by Erica Bacon on July 11, 2010 at 11:33am: NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, July 21st 7:30pm at Bank Sq.

We'll try to grab a seat outside!

Comment by Jenny Rajotte on June 22, 2010 at 10:30am: Folks: new resident, new member, but I have to say the comments about various beer pancakes, waffles, etc have made me jump up and down with excitement. I'm not a brewer myself, but I'm a beer enthusiast and a foodie who loves inserting brews into recipes as much as I can! Excited to hear more about a big summer event-- you've got an event planner and occasional caterers here ;) Can't wait to meet folks!

Comment by Barry on June 22, 2010 at 9:05am: I've got a new batch ready for tasting tonight (Northern Brewer Petite Saison) ... it turned out really light and dry.
