Port Arthur News Coverage

[Duveldiver]

The following is correspondence that I received and replied to in the last couple of days. Is anyone planning to brew either this weekend or next?



Mark,
I'm going to check with our photographer to see what he thinks would be best for photos, but there is a chance that we'll meet the club at the next meeting. My concern is getting some good pictures of the brewing process and how you guys do it all. I'm sure ya'll don't brew at the meetings, so is there a chance we could visit a member at his or her house to get pictures?
Thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing all about home
brewing!

Well, this Saturday 01/05/08 There will be two club systems brewing at my house. Joe Kabinka is brewing a porter with his buddy and I am going to brew a Scotch Ale. Jason said he would like to split the batch. So, if anybody wants to drag a system over as well, that will be GREAT. I have plenty of cold well water and a 2 car garage. I guess I can make myself clean it up a little for the event.

Jason and I will be brewing a Strong Scotch Ale
Joe and Darren will be brewing a Porter
Raybo will be making a Mead
Guy Groves may brew a Blond Ale

Anybody else have anything they were planning to brew?
