We met this Sunday (7/12) at Wagon Wheel BBQ in Mountain View and tasted eight great homebrews (which led to lively discussions about water chemistry, dry hopping, and the effect of fermentation temperature on German weissbier strains). Thanks to Wagon Wheel and everyone who showed up.
- Dark Matter distribution: Dark Matter was distributed to members who hadn’t received their allocations yet.
- Santa Clara County Fair homebrew competition has been cancelled for this year. The fair wasn’t able to get the competition up and running on an online beer judging platform in time. The couple of people who already entered beers will receive refunds.
