Beer Brewing and BBQ

Now that title has a lot of Bees. Buzz.

I have a glorious idea that I think is best if shared Memo style:

Purpose: Get a group together to brew beer. Two weeks later, bottle the beer and have a BBQ.

I'm looking to get a group of up to 12 people to brew beer on Saturday the 9th at Incredibrew in Nashua. There are ton of different styles of beer you can brew there. Each ranges from $100 to $130, with a very few at $170 (those are the most interesting, though...) Each kettle yields 72 22oz bottles.

There are 6 kettles to brew in at Incredibrew, and I was thinking of putting two people to a kettle. This should keep the price down, so each person would pay $50-$65. They run a special where if your party pays for 5 of the kettles, the 6th is free, so I'm hoping to hit that magical 10 person mark at least. Also, the more we brew, the more different varieties everyone goes home with.

Two weeks later, on the 23rd, we'll bottle the beer in the morning. After that we go back to my place and have a BBQ as a pretext to try our beer.

So the short version is, if we get 12 people each person pays $41-$54 and gets 36 bottles. Brew on the 9th, drink of the 23rd.

I'm gaging interest here on the blog first to see if there's any interest. After that I'll start sending out emails to get the numbers up. If you want in, or you want to change the dates we brew/bbq, let me know if the comments along with what beer you want to brew (click the link above for the list of different styles). If you have any friends who would want to do this also post that in the comments along with what they want to brew.
