Chris Craig · October 07, 2013, 03:26:44 PM

It's in the event details at the bottom of the page.

If it was closer to home I would go but a litle to far for my liking. Anyone willing to carpool from Freddy?

I have a spare bedroom and lots of space for mattress if anybody want to crash at my place that w-e. everybody's welcome

Roger · October 07, 2013, 05:38:25 PM

I'd like to go but I need to get more info on the details. I can't seem to find it either.

I mentioned to SWMBO during dinner but didn't get much of a reaction.

Funny, she was about 1 foot away from me. Maybe she didn't hear me.
I'll have to run it by her again tonight.

When I first glanced at this, I dismissed it out of hand, but now that I look closer, it could be an interesting time. Doubtful I could get away though. If I'd known a few weeks ago, I may have been able to arrange it with SWMBO.

Seeing as how I'm relatively close, its quite tempting.

jamie_savoie · October 08, 2013, 08:14:17 AM

just registered for the workshop!

Is anyone from Freddy going to this? If so and you dont mind carpooling I'd be willing to pay fuel.

jamie_savoie · October 31, 2013, 09:02:26 AM

My offer still stands if anyone want to crash at my place

Well, this was a really awesome weekend/workshop!

Even thought I know how to brew, I still learned alot of neat stuff; like how to count cell under the microscope, how to malt and more. The lab there is just a dream place and it was great speaking the chemists/biologists and learning the scientific aspect of brewing. I will definitely start to pay alot more attention to salts, mineral, ph etc from now on. It's nice that I'll have access to lab testing and really knowledgeable scientists/beer enthusiasts that are open source. Lucky for me that's it's just beside my place

Also meet a bunch of nice people from diverse backgrounds; commercial brewer, wine makers, distillers, scientists, malters, cereal growers and of course some home brewers. I took the opportunity to make some nbcba evangelism

Just so long as you keep this in mind...you already make F'ing awesome beer...sometimes scientists like to complicate the simple things.

Although it's cool to know what's going on behind the magic, when you already have the magic, don't lose it trying to find it.
