SEMINAR
Sweets, what do yeast eat (or not)? Breeze through the basics - What is Malt? Partially sprouted grains. How do we make it? Floor Malting & Drum Malting through Steeping, Germination and Kilning. Liquid Malt Extract and Dried Malt Extract are produced by a mash on an industrial scale. What is dryness? Limited residual sweetness, ratio of ABV vs. sweetness. Lower mash temperature can effect sugar conversion and make for drier beers. How can we add sweetness to our beverage and keep it? Halt fermentation with Campden or Pasteurization, or use unfermentable sugars like Lactose.

Have a social brew day and announce on forum, facebook group, etc. We are constantly looking for volunteers to do things within the club: Pints for Pets, Equipment Library Hosting, Brewfest, Holiday Party, and others like Maifest and Learn to Homebrew Day.
