National Homebrew Day NCB Style

[Will_D]

So its been agreed that Saturday October the 4th is decreed as "National Homebrew Day"

In true NCB style we will set the bar high for this:

I have booked the rugby club for the day from 10:00

Format for the day:

We have a nice covered area for brewing:

Brew demos of all the styles ( AG: Gas/Electric/Brewmeister. Extract and importantly Kit with LME/DME + all the tweaks

We will also set up the small (triangular hop packaging room) with tables and info on the dry goods/stir plates/geeky stuff

Club (at last) to sell bottles of craft beers (Kiss: O'Haras range at fixed price)
If possible a few kegs of craft beers (Club makes money from these sales)

We can do a private BBQ (NCB gets this money)

Hopefully we get some sponsors on board for a raffle/kits.

Club will push this out to their mailing list (500+ peeps) and also the local shops and offys.

THIS COULD BE HUGH!

What else would expect from the NCB?


Logistsics:

Firstly is the PR material: We need to have some simple handouts/flyers available at the RDS as the whole idea of the brewday is to follow up interest shown at the RDS. Need to have this the week before the RDS

Then comes local PR material for the couple of shops and offies in the Malahide/Swords area (About a week before the 4th)

We need to hit some sponsors/breweries for support

Finally on the day we need people to bring the kit and caboodle.

First thing we need is some artwork for the flyers at the RDS:

Anyone into graphic design?

Basically we need to include on a poster/flyer:

National HB Day
National Homebrew Club
North County Brewers
Bru Brewery
Malahide Rugby Club
Whats involved!
BBQ

Date/Time/Location/Contact details etc

[Will_D]

Ok so we are getting there. the flyers should be available by Moday or so.

The brewing and BBQ is just about covered.

We need someone to demonstrate making up the kit.

Also who can man the stand indoors from about 11:00 I'd say.

We need a few more bodies to help out.

[Rats]

I can help with whatever you need me for. Even doing the kit.....

[Will_D]

Sound man Renier. Thanks

I have a wine kit I was going to do for Christmas I can donate for demonstration purposes. I know its simple but could be a handy show to fill any gaps in the day.

Does anyone have a decent microscope ? I know my kids would get a massive kick out of seeing yeast with one...especially if we could catch some budding

Reckon random folks not that into beer, but just curious, would also like to look at yeast if someone is going to be showing off yeast cultivation...

[Will_D]

Funnily enough Yes I do!!

It also has a camera system so will bring it to the club as part of the demos!

I might have a new gadget to demo on the day -

Its this
