Hello Fellow Bendigo and District Home brewers..
I've locked in the Date and time for a catch up.

Date : Saturday June 16th
Time : 12:30 --> 9:30pm~
Location : 26 Cashens Road Junortoun 3551 (Bendigo)

*If your driving please organise a designated Driver or some accommodation, I will not be held responisble for peoples actions after they've left my house.

Facebook group for Bendigo Home Brewers : http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/327235607332975/


Days Outline:


- Start 12:30
- Meet and greet organise beers/kegs etc
- Get the brewrigs going
- Drink on and have fun
- 5 -> 6 Tea
- 9:30 home time




Please have lunch before you come, I'll provide tea (After we work out the numbers may need to get some $ from everyone for food)

I have a kegerator which can hold four kegs, I currently have one in there at the moment.
There should be some room if anyone wants to bring a keg. I also have a single tap jocky box.

Currently have two Brewrigs one 50lt and one BIAB recipe will be posted later.

Please if you have any other suggestions put in the thread and I'll update the topic.


 
If I can work out the travel, is the shindig open to the presence of your more Southern brewing brethren?
 
I am interested but may not be able to get until later in the afternoon.

Sounds good.

Simon
 
At this stage I likely can't make it but I will pm or Facebook message if anything changes to check if the invite still stands. Thanks for organizing it gav.
 
ok can we get a list of people coming? so I can get numbers for food etc..

If everyone is happy I can purchase a selection of snacks for the day and we'll just get some $$ of ya when ya rock up...

on that note is anyone else alergic to anything i should stay away from?

Thanks for the head ups and well done on the facebook set up looks to have been a great success by the list of people coming. Looking forward to meeting a lot of new Bendigo brewers.
 
Hope to be in town that weekend and could drop by for a chat and a beer. If it all goes well with lots of interest the club will start becoming a regular event. Good work.
