Great meeting! Tom Ryan a long time member who retired and has been hosting at the Federal Camp grounds attended the meeting. It was interesting to hear his adventures and his brewing hints. A new guest some of us know, Teresa attended. She is a beer freak and is looking to start brewing.

A lot of reports so let’s get started ---

Ask a Brewer – Q: How much fruit should I add to get the nose of raspberry, apricot, and blueberry and when should I put it in? A: It is best to put it in secondary about 4-5 lbs. The sugar from the fruit will kick everything in again for about a day and then it will settle down. Secondary will give more aroma than primary.

We all got to see what the new website looks like www.barleyliterate.com.
