Our next club meeting will be on Wednesday August 4th (THIS WEDNESDAY) at 6:30pm via Zoom.

Given the current situation with COVID variants, new masking recommendations, the number of club members with household members who are unable to be vaccinated we have decided to meet VIRTUALLY this month. Hopefully we’ll be back in person again soon, but better safe than sorry.

If any club members wish to organize in person groups feel free, though please do so safely.

Our educational guest this month will be Kaleb from Yakima Valley Hops, to discuss hops in general, but specifically wet hops. Kaleb was kind enough to help us out with our You Are Not Alone project we did last year in collaboration with Reuben’s Brews to raise money for workers in the hospitality industry.

As we approach fall we get closer to the special time of the year when hops are fresh and we get a once a year chance to brew with them! If you’re new to the Pacific Northwest, fresh and wet hops might be new to you- Kaleb’s going to talk to us a little bit about what they are and how to make the best use of them in our brewing.

After our education we want to try something new: splitting into small groups to get a little bit more conversation going between folks! Try to think of something that you’d like to talk with other homebrewers about, whether it’s a beer you’ve made or been thinking about making, some process questions, or picking folks’ brains about a particular style.
