Monster Brew at Monkish on 6/6
We are hosting a Monster Brew at Monkish on June 6. The recipe for the wort is 1.051OG and 25 IBUs with a grain bill of 78% domestic 2row, 12% flaked oats, 5% Vienna, and 4% acid. That’s great but many are asking what do I make with this beer? Based on previous posts from Carl Townsend and Jim Wilson here is what we suggest (or maybe blatantly plagiarized): The first step is to pick a style and an appropriate yeast.

Help With Club Bar Repairs
At the September 2014 meeting the Strand Brewers Club voted to replace the 22 old, dinged, and beat up chrome plated faucets and shanks on the club bar with new stainless faucets, shanks, and tailpieces. With care these club bar upgrades will be the last we need for a very long time. The Strand Brewers Club is looking for donors to help offset the expense of the upgrade. Donors will be recognized with something like a nameplate on the club bar or a commemorative glass, but details are yet to be finalized. The total cost for the new stainless parts … Read More
