Note from Ross...

The format will be
a)discussion about the two main kinds of beer and methods of brewing beer

b)Next we will put together a list of "qualities" for a few of the beers that people have brought, to help illustrate key ingredients. Then we will start drinking said beers.

c)Beginning brewing (we will be making 5 gal of either a stout of a porter)

d)Bottling a batch that I made last week.

e)talking about how awesome we all are (repeat if neccessary)

I'm no expert on brewing, but I've done it 10 times or so. I'm doing my best to put together some info and hopefully lurn y'all some. Come on! It's beer afterall!
