What is Big Brew?
Big Brew is an event initiated by the American Homebrewers Association. Homebrewers everywhere brew beer on the same day, National Homebrew Day, May 1, 1999.
Why did we participate?
Brewing is our obsession. -So what else should we do on saturday, 1st May? Joining friends all around the world is always a good idea!
Site Team
Moving all the equipment is not an easy job, but my friend Gerhard (featured on most of the photos) agreed to join me and we lighted our burners @9:30 GMT+0100 (1:30 Mountain Time).

The only problems arose, when my wife insisted in doing something useful and thereby took apart my lauter manifold. But as you can see -- finally I've got them ...first runnings! |
 I don't understand all the talk about protein rests! ...They _are_ essential - not for the mash, but for the brewer!

Take care of your shirt -- a "yard of ale" (filled with my Bullwasher-IPA) is really a "long drink"!
