[THC] Tippy homebrewing -- last Saturday's meeting, upcoming meetings

[Dr L Swihart]

The meeting at Kevin and Monica's last weekend was great.  It looked 
dismal at noon, raining off and on, pouring at times.  Then around 1:30 
after we had set up three pop-up gazebos it stopped raining and was 
lovely the rest of the day.  The pop-ups were nice to have for shade.  
My count was 18 people I think, and most everybody stayed most of the 
afternoon and early evening.

The brewing outcome was
5 gal porter (Nancy)
5 gal chocolate porter (Tom)
5 gal hazelnut mead (Dave)
5 gal peach mead (Dave)
5 gal dunkelweizen (Linda)
 
Am I forgetting anybody?

We ate constantly and sampled a lot of beers and meads offered by most 
everybody who attended.  We drew door prize claim tickets from a hat and 
gave away some nice beers and a few cordials that Robert left us when he 
moved to Florida (thanks Robert!).

Sixteen people signed membership forms and handed over their $5 ("half 
price after June 30") dues.  Membership is not "required" for much of 
anything except some equipment borrowing,
