Mark Woerner hosted the September, 2024 B.A.S.H. meeting on Sunday the 8th at his home in Corpus Christi. President Vic Aguilar called the meeting to order and thanked our host. We then held a moment of silence followed by a toast in memory of long term member Judy Pate.
Treasurer Walt Crawford presented his monthly report. In his secretary’s report, Wild Bill Lehfeld reviewed upcoming meeting hosts and competitions. Our tally of brewing volume for August 2024 was as follows: Chris Ackman – 5 gallons, Vic – 10 gallons, Walt – 5 gallons, Jason Fransham – 2 gallons, Wild Bill – 2.5 gallons, Tom Ormrod – 20 gallons, Jay Porterfield/Doug Funk/David Funk – 5 gallons, Joe Wyatt – 6 gallon. YTD totals for 2024: Chris – 12 gallons, Vic– 35 gallons, Will Amaya -- 15 gallons, Big Brew – 14 gallons, Walt – 10 gallons, Jason – 24.75 gallons, John Fulton – 10.5 gallons, Nick Jones – 5 gallons, Mike Kneale/Paul Froeschner – 13 gallons, Wild Bill – 20 gallons, Tom – 40 gallons, Jay/Doug/David – 20.5 gallons, Joe – 9 gallons. Total for 2024 = 228.75 gallons (452 gallons beer and mead in 2023).
There was no competition this month.
We chowed down on pork and bean & cheese tamales, as well as Mark’s wild game – this year, it was nilgai burgers and sausage. We washed it down with old homebrews, as well as new efforts from Vic (pilsner) and Joe (“Nice Melons” cantaloupe hydramel – you know the old saying “A friend with mead is a friend indeed!). Interesting commercial beers were offered up by Chris (Founder’s Mortal Bloom Hazy IPA), Liz Ackman (Ghost Note West Coast Pils), Vic (Shiner Prickly Pear/Sam Adams Octoberfest/Saint Arnold Oktoberfest/New Belgium Atomic Pumpkin/Taylor Beer Co. Oktaylorfest/903 Brewers Prost Oktoberfest), Jason (Real Ale Crash Pad/Dansberg 16000 Lager/Himalayan Snowman Lager), John (Lone Pint Yellow Rose SMASH IPA), Doug (Altstadt Peach Radler), Mark Marshall (St. Elmo Gary Hazy IPA/Wolfhaus Pilsner/Other Half Top Of The Broc DDH IPA), Tom (Guadalupe S’mores Stout/German Chocolate Cake), Jay (Bandera Pecan Brown), Andy Vaughn (Manhattan Project Double Half Life DIPA) and host Mark (Saint Arnold Tarnation).
