Learn To Brew Day - Change Of Plans

Sorry for the late notice, but due to the snow and forcasted wind gusts up to 40mph, the Learn To Brew Day has been cancelled. There may be some people brewing, but it will be at their houses. If you get this notice and are interested in being involved with a brew, give me a call at 970-946-7839 and I will let you know what's going on where.

Bulk Grain Purchase - Update

Hi-ya HOPS,
Just an update on this bulk grain purchase, the Colorado Malting Company said we can mix and match any of the grains they carry to get the bulk discount. I have a pricing sheet and here are the grains listed on it:

Colo. Base Malt
Colo. Pilsner Malt
Colo. Malted White Wheat
Colo. Malted Red Wheat
Raw Colo. White Wheat
Raw Colo. Red Wheat
Raw 2-row Colo. Barley

 - Some seasonals available

On the website they said they are slammed, so I am not positive on availability of all of these. If you want to see a full list you can contact them by emailing maltbarn@coloradomaltingcompany.com to see what they have. Their website is http://www.coloradomaltingcompany.com/. 

I would like to get an order in before Thanksgiving if possible, so let me know what you are looking for ASAP.
 
Cheers ~

Randy

Remember, if you reply to this email you reply to everyone on the list. If you are interested in getting in on this bulk order, please reply to me directly at randy@speeddirect.com. Thanks! 

HOPS - Upcoming Events and Announcements

Ok, so yeah whatever. Regarding the new HOPS meeting days, the 29th is technically the 5th Tuesday of this month. So I can't count - sue me! Better yet, beer me! We'll stick with the 29th for this month because of Thanksgiving, then we'll go back to the 4th Tuesday hereafter.

Details, details...

HOPS – Homebrewers Of Pagosa Springs

 

Greetings all,

There are some events and announcements I wanted to pass along:

 

  • This Coming Thursday, November 3rd - FTO (First Thursday Out): Come join us a Squirrel’s this Thursday to hang out and enjoy a beer together. They have Modus on tap. Need I say more? We’ll meet there at 6:00 pm. No meeting, just beerz!

 

  • This Coming Saturday, November 5th – Teach a Friend To Homebrew Day: Pagosa Brewing Co has offered to host this year’s “Learn To Brew Day”. If you have a brew system, we would love to have you bring it and come brew with us! We will start setting up around 10:30 am and start brewing around 11:00. Come and join us weather you plan to brew or just hang out. Hope to see you Saturday!

 

  • HOPS Meeting Dates Changed! – Please note that the HOPS meetings will no longer be on the fourth Monday of the month. Instead we will be having the HOPS meetings on the fourth TUESDAY of the month from now on. This is to help out Pagosa Brewing Co with their scheduling. The next HOPS meeting will be Tuesday, November 29th. There will be another reminder about this before the next meeting.

 

  • Bulk Grain Buy Opportunity – We have several people interested in a bulk grain buy from Colorado Malting Co in Alamosa. If we can get 10 X 50lb bags ordered we can get discounted pricing ($0.85 / lb, so $42.50 per bag). I think we have 4 or 5 bags on the list right now. Please email me directly at randy@speeddirect.com if you are interested in jumping on board. Let me know how many 50 lb bags of 2-Row base malt you want and I will add you to the list. Please do NOT reply to this email as it will go to the entire HOPS list and then you will be accused of spamming, and I don’t want any competition on that… J

The Yellow Group is responsible for bringing Oktoberfest/Marzen beers tonight. I dropped the ball, though, and didn't coordinate the group so I will bring some Oktoberfests for our BJCP education and tasting. If any of you have an Oktoberfest/Marzen you'd like to share then please do bring it along. I also have a pumpkin beer from 2006 that will make an appearance...woohoo!

Just might do that. I couldn’t make to your place today. If you like I can stop by tomorrow so I can look at your framing.
