April Meeting

By Joel Baines, Treasurer

The monthly meeting night came around quick and saw club attendance back into full-swing for 2014.

Rob Horsfield gave a presentation on the importance of temperature control throughout the mashing process highlighting the different systems available to keep temperature under control.
Being an important part of the process it was great to see even the seasoned brewers with all types of brewing systems keen to learn more throwing all kinds of questions at Rob.

Steve Hogarth’s ‘House Brown’, an English ale, was on tap for the night providing brewers with a sample of his beers with many brewers getting back to the roots of the club meeting nights providing bottles to share and provide feedback on.

Members were updated in detail on the recent cider trip to Batlow where club members took the opportunity to visit a juicing company and then an apple orchid where they learnt all about growing apples that are then crushed to make tasty cider and some details were also provided on the upcoming International Home Brew Day – more news to come soon.
