This years Big Brew is being hosted by the Columbus Brewing Company.  This event is not restricted to SODZ members and I encourage you to invite people who may be interested in the hobby.  Please signup using the form found at the bottom of the page so that we have a rough idea of how many to expect.

Date

Saturday May 4th
Wort will be available from 9am – 11am.
This is a hard deadline anyone who comes after 11am will not get wort.

Location

525 Short St,
Columbus, OH

The Columbus Half Marathon is happening on the same day so if you try to get to CBC using High St you will be less than happy. Please see the map below for an alternate route.

What We Provide

1. Wort – CBC will be brewing wort for a Belgian Blonde. The recipe can be found here.
2. Water for chilling.

What You Provide

You will need to bring everything else. This includes but is not limited to:

1. Hops – Even though the wort is for a Belgian Blonde you can hop it anyway you like. What makes a Belgian beer a Belgian beer comes mostly from the yeast.
2. Kettle
3. Burner
4. Propane Tank
5. Wort Chiller
6. Hose Splitters – We should have some however having more is always better.
7. Folding Chair(s)
8. Pop Up Tent – If it rains you have two options:
   1. Get your wort and take it home to boil.
   2. Have a pop up tent and brew underneath.
9. Sanitizer
10. Side Dish
11. Etc, etc

Anything you need to brew at home you will need to bring with the exception of equipment used to create your wort.

Food

In years past there was a roasted pig provided. This year we were unable to do that but a Food Truck/Cart is being lined up to provide food for anyone who is hungry. The truck/cart will be there from 10am – 12pm and the name of the truck will be provided when we know what it is.
