Hello Fermentors,

Please forward on to those who are interested.  This is the lineup for the Ferment Change!

11am-11:30am- Goat Cheese, Beer Brewing and more
Local brewer and goat milker, Chris S. will host a Q and A session about all things related to making homebrew, mead, and wines using commercially selected cultures.  He will touch open topics such as saving your own yeast, cost effective alcohol production from all sorts of sugars, and making goat cheese.
