Showtime - Homebrewers Ball, Saturday Nov. 8

BREWERS!
Here’s the Drill for next Saturday (on the blog also):
4:00 pm – the Gym is ours until midnight. RFOV is supplying our tables. We move in with our taps station, two jockey boxes and Tom’s “Chaz-mobile” 4-tap station. That makes 15 taps.
Wes is coordinating CO2 tanks, manifolds. He still needs stuff, if anyone has parts to lend;
We need 3 – 4 more feed buckets or plastic trash cans for kegs on ice, and two “shallow basins” for bottled homebrew on ice.
Wes and I estimated we would need 20 twenty-pound bags of ice. RFOV will supply ice.
We need three 5-gallon Gatorade coolers for water, one per table. MT will supply two of them, anyone have a third?
We need 3 – 5-gallon buckets, one “spittoon” per table.
Ken Jones will supply six water pitchers for rinsing glasses, two per table, and bring sampling glasses (5 boxes) from the Brew Pub (these go to the guest sign-in tables).
Everyone’s keg(s) should arrive at 4:00 pm, chilled and charged. Wes and Jeremy are in charge of hooking up the kegs, they’ll coordinate help from fellow brewers.
MT will print poster-size beer labels to tape on the wall above the taps, as well as labels for shirts and for tap handles. Will need 3 helpers and a ladder (check with Eric @ Rec Center) to put up all the labels.

7:30 pm SHARP – doors open, taps ready, homebrewers help keep order around the taps, clean up spills, keep water pitchers filled, help people sign in and display “Guest Beer Labels”, manage voting by guests for “best label” and “best homebrew”, and help keep party rolling smoothly ;
9:30 pm – Announce voting closes at 10:00, introduce RFOV (if they want to announce anything);
10:00 pm – tally votes;
10:15 pm – Thanks you’s, Announce label contest winner, best homebrew winner, thank everyone for coming, announce buses;
10:30 pm – Close doors, begin cleanup (sorry we can’t come back the next day!)
12:00 – finished.
Questions? Suggestions?
MT
