Tornado’s did not keep around 25 homebrewers from getting together at Elevator Brewery Taproom. The officers gave their reports and Gautam Bagchi talked about an upcoming homebrew contest involving Big Brew, more details upcoming. We had town hall style homebrew disaster story telling session. Elevator even shared one of their disaster stories, as you can imagine it was on a bigger scale than us mere homebrewers. Vic Schiltz, head brewer of Elevator gave a great talk on barrel aging. Dick Stevens, owner of Elevator brewer announced Elevator’s upcoming homebrew contest:
