October 2018 Minutes

Brad Klager hosted the October, 2018 B.A.S.H. meeting on Sunday the 14th at his home in Corpus Christi. El Presidente Mike Wojdyla called the meeting to order and thanked our host. Treasurer Tom Freund gave his usual glowing report.


In old business, Iron Mash XV is Saturday 11/3. This year, the teams will brew to a declared style – saison. In addition to the supplied box of ingredients, the teams can supply one of their own. In new business, Paul Holder reported that Liquid Town on Airline near Toys ‘R’ Us has closed due to a fire. Homebrew supplies will move to the store at Nile and McArdle. Steve Cook gave a presentation on “Quick and Easy Fermentation Using Basic Grocery Store Ingredients” at CC Homebrew Supply on Tuesday night 10/9. The schedule for the next several education events has been set and is shown below.


As we feasted on Brad’s smoked pork stuffed with cheese and bacon, we enjoyed new homebrews by Steve (“Skeeter Pee” lemon wine/sour cherry cider) and Paul (raspberry wheat). Interesting commercial beers were shared by Steve (Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale/Saint Arnold Oktoberfest), Jack Heim (Rebel Toad Angry Man Porter), Paul (Pizza Port Pickleweed Point IPA), Brad (Sierra Nevada Otra Vez), Mark Quade (Czech Pils) and Phil Sims (101 North Heroine IPA).


As the evening wore on, the usual bizarre comments were overheard:

Paul – “A shift chemical engineer is kinda odd”

Wild Bill Lehfeld – “ANY chemical engineer is kinda odd”

Adam Klager – “It depends how long it has FERMENTATED”

Mike – “I’ve got a BUNGOVILLIA”
