ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HOMEBREWING?
Are you an extract brewer interested in learning how to brew all-grain, but don’t have the equipment or know how? Are you interested in learning the benefits of joining a homebrew club? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you do not want to miss the Lincoln Lagers Homebrew Equipment Swap Meet, all-grain brewing demonstration and fundraiser for the Nebraska Hop Growers Association (proceeds to flood relief for our local hop farmers).
ALL-GRAIN DEMONSTRATION AND Q&A FORUM:
1 – 5 p.m.
Zipline Parking Lot / Receiving Door
Hosted by the Lincoln Lagers Homebrew Club, this great event will include a demonstration of how to brew beer using 100% malted grain and from start to finish. Get your questions ready.This is a great place to start for introductory information for beginners, as well as information for those homebrewers wanting to move to the intermediate and advanced procedures.
DEMONSTRATION SCHEDULE:
1 p.m. Mash
2 p.m. Sparge
3:30 p.m. Boil starts
4:30 p.m. Word chill
HOMEBREWERS SWAP MEET:
1 – 4:30 p.m.
Zipline Patio
Collecting the equipment needed to start brewing, or to start brewing all-grain, is one of the biggest hurdles for brewers. Buying new equipment can often be expensive and cut into the ingredient budget. On the other hand, many veteran brewers have more equipment filling up their spare bedrooms than they know what to do with. This swap meet will give you the opportunity to buy, sell and trade brewing equipment essentials.
More details about the event are here!
Thursday – April 18 – 5:30 to 9 ish
