Thanks go out to Steve Schultz for an excellent presentation on, and tasting of Makkoli (various spellings), a Korean fermented rice/wheat beverage at the meeting last night. I think I speak for everybody when I say it was much appreciated and made for a fun evening.

Joe has posted an entry on his blog about it, you can read that here.

Rick made some references to sake last night, he followed up today with this info:

Here is the thing I was talking about in sake brewing – koji. Its a mold that does what the enzyme that you add for makgeolli does – break down the starch in the rice. Its essential for making sake and I’m sure it occurs naturally in Japan. In reading this you can see its pretty finicky (for a mold) and a slight change in conditions can really affect the taste of the saki:

I have always wanted to brew beer after owning a liquor store for years and taking a liking to craft beers from small breweries. Now, I have the time and renewed interest. I was hoping to find a club local to me and this one seems to be the right fit. I am a Bel Air resident and look forward to attending the january 2013 meeting. Sorry, I have no brew yet, but looking forward to listening and learning. Hope that is ok.

The club barrel beer (Belgian Dark Ale) went into the 53 gallon barrel on 11/21/2012. Thanks go out to all who brewed and made this a success. Check out the pictures on the Photos page.

Hi Ryan, we have a number of all grain brewers at the club and a wealth of homebrewing knowledge between all the members. There’s always somebody brewing so I’m sure we can get you the opportunity to tag along on an all grain session and see how it’s done. We have all levels from brew in a bag to elaborate brew rigs!

Drop on in for the next meeting.

Very interested in attending a meeting. I have been brewing for about 2 years now (Beer, mead, cider, wine, soda), with mixed results; all extract and specialty grains. Looking to be part of a homebrew club. I want to make the jump to all-grain brewing and need some help getting started. Reading is easy, but I really need an expert to show me how it’s done.
