The more beer we brew, the more money we raise for the Humane Society.
What to expect this year:
- Our goal is to raise $5,000. To do so, we need about 30 members to brew 5 gallon batches.
- Brewgrass Homebrew Supply will cover the costs of malt and hops. (Thanks, John!) Malt and hops must be in stock at Brewgrass. (What’s in stock? Give them a call at 502-552-4274.) Submit your recipe 24 hours in advance, and pick up your malt and hops from Brewgrass the week before the brew-in. Members can supply their own ingredients and are responsible for any adjuncts.
- Apocalypse Brew Works (ABW) will provide the yeast. (Thanks, Leah!) Options are S-05, S-04, lager, and Kveik. You can also supply your (non-funky) yeast. Philly sour is allowed. Expect fermentation temperatures at ABW to be between 65-70°F.
- You must submit your recipe even if you are bringing your own ingredients. Yeast must be pitched at ABW to be sold at Yappy Hour.
- Maximum original gravity (OG) for recipes is 1.060. Maximum 10 gallons per member (i.e., two 5 gal batches or one 10 gal batch). Smaller batch sizes accepted!
- Our annual Yappy Hour Brew-in is on Sunday, August 25, starting at 10am. Bring your brewing system to ABW, and brew a beer for Yappy Hour! If you want to learn more about brewing, come to ABW to see the many different systems members use. Bring homebrew and potluck-style snacks, and consider buying a beer from ABW.
- If your brewing system is not mobile, bring your wort to ABW on the 25th to pitch your yeast.
- Members are responsible for all transfers and kegging of their beer. They also must provide their own fermenters and kegs. ABW will carbonate the beers, but members must keg beers by Monday, September 23. Expect your keg to remain at ABW until your beer sells out!
