Kickoff thread 2014!

[Scott H]

Thanks again for signing up for the homebrew advent calendar project. Forget little chocolate pieces, I can't wait to be able to try a bunch of different homebrews through December. And maybe I'll have the chocolate too... I want it all!

Now, about how all of this will work. If you haven't started brewing your batch of beer for this, now is the time to get started! From now through December, here's what will happen:

Now:

• You brew the beer you want to contribute.

When you bottle your beer (end of October):

• Please bottle 24 12 ounce bottles of it. Whatever you want to do with the rest is up to you.
• You will be given a number between 1-24. Please write that number on each cap with a sharpie.
• Feel free to bottle up to 2 weeks before dropping the beer off. The bottles will be sitting at room temperature to condition during the last week in November.

November 15-23:

• Deliver your bottles to Bull City Homebrew, the earlier the better.
• Please package them in a box designed to hold 24 bottles. Please don't drop them off in a duffel bag.
• We ask that you provide a name, description and recipe for your beer, written on a sheet of paper.

November 23rd - 26th:

• We assemble 24 "Homebrew Advent Calendar" boxes, each one containing 24 unique homebrews.

November 27rd - 30th:

• Everyone in the project can come by Bull City Homebrew to pick up their calendar.

Dec 1st - Dec 24th:

• Drink the homebrew with that day's number on the cap.
• Visit the December 2014 board to read about and discuss the beer of the day!

Thanks again for participating and being part of this project!
