Hey LAGERS!
It’s that time of year again. Time to submit what you want to brew for Yappy Hour! For those who are new to the Club, Yappy Hour is our annual charity event with Apocalypse Brew Works to raise money for the Kentucky Humane Society. It is also our big opportunity to highlight homebrewing and the LAGERS club.
Essentially, the idea is what you brew some wort at home, then, the wort is taken inside ABW and made into beer as the licensed brewery. Along the way, we help them manage the fermentations, transfers, packaging and carbonating. Then on November 12th, club members serve the beers at an event called Yappy Hour. This is a dog friendly event that is designed to promote craft beer and awareness for the ABW, LAGERS and the Humane Society. Then, a donation matching the proceeds from the event will be made to the Louisville Chapter of the Kentucky Humane Society.
So, here is what you need to know:
- ABW will supply all ingredients (to a certain point)
- The deadline to submit a recipe is September 16th.
- Recipes must be:
o Limited to 1.060
o Should not include expensive fruits, syrups, difficult to source ingredients, excessive hop bills, etc.
o May be 5 or 10 gallon batches
- you may pick up your ingredients and return with a carboy of wort (no yeast!)
- The default yeast provided will be the house yeast (US-05 or WLP099), unless you specify otherwise when you submit your recipe
- Following the brew day, you are then responsible for all transfers of your beer including secondary (if desired) and kegging.
- ABW will carbonate the beers, but you must have your beer in a keg by November 6th
- You must be a LAGERS member to enter (but not to attend the brew-in)
