      • Five by five walking tour -- it was a lot of fun, and we could do it again. We could change it up a bit if we wanted to as well. Anyone interested?
      • Club competition -- these are a lot of work, but if there's interest, we could do it again
      • Bus trip -- haven't done one of these for a while, but they can be a lot of fun
      • Maifest -- We don't have anything on the calendar yet... Do we want to do something for Big Brew Day?

SEMINAR
  • Yeast
  • Jeff Mello -- Chief Yeast Wrangler at Bootleg Biology
    • As part of the seminar, we sampled three beers that Biker Gang put together with the same base Saison recipe, then fermented with three different Bootleg Biology yeasts
Normally, this would be the end of the zoom call, but since we were sampling beers with Bootleg Biology yeast, we continued the call to the end of the meeting.

TASTING
  • More Beers with Bootleg Biology yeast!
    • BKS Pivo Project Lager with Orange Blossom Honey
    • BKS Rockhill & Locust English Mild Ale
    • BKS Counterculture IPA
  • February tasting -- Chocolate & Beer Pairing
  • Looking for volunteers to help with a large SMaSH beer we can use with different hops to compare hops grown in different regions
DRAWING FOR FREE YEAST
  • Bootleg Biology was kind enough to give us some free yeast, so we had a drawing to give it out. Winners:
    • Will Whipperman
    • Matt Bechtold
    • Todd Esplund (We drew Barry Fitzgerald, but he had to leave early!)
    • Lesley Waller
