Big Brew Day May 2, 2015
Our biggest event of the year is quickly approaching, just 12 days away! Not to mention this is the 5th year that the club will be hosting the event. Brewers, it’s time to show off your brewing skills, share some lessons learned, and be a mentor to those who are new to the hobby.
I know everyone has been eagerly awaiting all the details of the BIG day and here they are!
Location: Iron Hill Brewery (back parking lot) 124 E Kings Hwy, Maple Shade Township, NJ 08052
Parking: there is plenty of parking behind the event or worse case across the street at BJs Club or ACME, please do not park in front of Iron Hill to accommodate their patrons the day of the event.
Guests: the event officially starts a 9am and you are welcome to enter the event. All guests must be 21+ years of age to be inside the event. This is an all-day event so feel free to bring a comfortable chair to hang out with the brewers as they brew. Don’t forget the sunscreen and snacks!
Brewers: Be sure to bring all your brewing supplies. Temporary parking will be available to unloading equipment. Please move your vehicle as soon as you’re unloaded so that others can unload. We will be setting up chilling stations and electrical outlets throughout the event. Tent locations will be sent out soon. Tents are in high demand and very limited this year. I would recommend networking with your fellow brewers to secure a tent if needed. If ordered, ice will be delivered at 9am and wort will be released at the back door of Iron Hill at 10am). To maintain your stamina feel free to roll a grill out and fire up some good eats!
Big Brew Day Food Competition 2015: Since so many people had fun with the condiment competition last year we decided to have another homebrew-based food competition. Details will be posted in a topic on the forum (viewtopic.php?f=7&p=681#p681) where [mention]Kevin Kru[/mention] or [mention]Kyle McHerron[/mention] will respond to your questions.
Iron Brewers: Once again, the Iron Brewer competition will be tied to the Big Brew wort that Ruby is mashing for us. Unlike last year, however, there will be no secret ingredients or other last-minute surprises. This year the challenge is simple: be creative in your inspiration and solid in your technique! Good luck everyone, and please post any questions or concerns on the forum! (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=125)
Note: the Iron Brewer is voluntary, you may purchase and use Ruby's wort without entering the competition.
General event items: This year we will have 3 live bands performing, raffles that will out-do last year including a 50/50, and a really noble theme this year.
If you have any questions about the event day feel free to post them on the forum topic here.
