Homebrewers Ball 2008 - Brewing Schedule

This year's Homebrewers Ball will be in support of Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers (RFOV), and will be held on Saturday, November 8, at the Carbondale Rec Center, adjacent to Town Hall. We are expecting to raise 300 donating guests for the event. In addition, there will be 24 - 30 HAMS staff (brewers and spouses) and 20 RFOV volunteer cooks, who will be listed as "comp" (donated in advance). Suggested donations for all other guests will be $30.
Beer glasses will be printed with HAMS logo on one side and RFOV logo on the other. For beer ingredients, please scan and email to MThompson@sopris.net your receipts for ingredients, and we will reimburse you from the proceeds after the Ball. For everyone who is brewing all-grain, let us combine our lists of grains needed, and perhaps buy them all at once through the Glenwood Canyon BrewPub. Anyone volunteer to coordinate this?
Our beers need to be ready to drink by early November, so everyone should have their beer under primary fermentation by early October. Here are the styles and brewers we have so far:
