Haters' gonna hate
Guys
I am Brian who has the Country Brewer shop here in Bathurst. We had a Brew Club formed back in 1996 which had about 20 members of which about a dozen were always keen. This was all before Grain Brewing became more popular. We used to run a huge homebrew comp. each year but gave that away about 4 yeasr ago. We basically disbanded the club but I still have all the minutes from meetings, etc. I would be only too happy to pass all the info on the a "new" club.
I have sold my Country Brewer Franchise to a young couple from Sydney who are having a "tree change". They take over my store in mid December and I am retiring - from the shop - not brewing. Now I am sure they will be interested in getting behind a brew club for the area.
As said in some of the posts having to drive to these meetings and back home after a few beers is very difficult. I will certainly not be dropping out of the home brew scene all together and I would be only to happy to help you guys get a club off the ground.
May I suggest a get together say at the Beekeepers Inn between Bathurst and Orange one Saturday or Sunday for starters. I know Mark (The Brewer) at the Beekeepers Inn quite well and I am sure we could have a get together there for starters. Or if some one wants to organize something else then go for it.
Cheers and Beers

hey guys
since I started this post I've got about five biab's under my belt, if only I had more time!! just put down my first stout with a little help from Brian,
great to see you wont be giving up brewing. only problem I see is for brew days is that I need 15amps to run my 3600w element.so not very portable like the gas powered ones. it would be great to swap recipes, ideas and definitely taste a few of everyone's creations. the bee keepers inn would be a fitting spot to meet up, I'll be keeping a close eye on where this thread takes us
cheers willo
