December Brew Day
UPDATE! – December Brew Day has been cancelled due to Covid.
This Saturday, December 3rd, is the final brew day of the year and will be held at Bill Lawrence’s house. Bill will be brewing a Munich Helles, and will be giving a demonstration of how to use an Instant Pot to do a decoction mash. This should be a very interesting demo on using using non-traditional equipment for brewing.

The first Saturday in November is the American Homebrewers Association Learn to Homebrew Day. This day was established in 1999 to promote the hobby of homebrewing.
This year, North Texas Homebrew Supply will be hosting the November club brew day in association with the AHA event. In the spirit of learning, the goal is to have several different types of brew rigs and brew methods setup, (BIAB, Electric All-In-One, 3 vessel system etc, extract , partial mash, and all grain) to show new brewers the variety of equipment and methods available to brew beer.
If you would like to brew at the event, contact Owner Eric Morgan at [email protected] . Include what type of brew system you will be bringing. More info to follow.
