LTHB Day Follow Up – Tennessee Valley Homebrewers

Despite the forecast of cold and rainy we had about 15-20 club members swing by and about a dozen lookers, several of whom stayed for some time and asked great questions, attend this year’s Learn to Homebrew Day. We broke in the club’s new system and ran into some issues, but nothing that we couldn’t fix. We tried to brew 5 gallons of Mike Caylor’s mild recipe but the boil off rate got the better of us and we ended up with a little less than 4 gallons of imperial mild. We also made a successful extract batch of american pale ale. Thanks again to FermentStation for donating the ingredients, space, and some tasty snacks!

Maiden voyage of the Club’s new brew system

Based on your feedback from the last few years, and in an effort to get our community more involved, we're switching things up this year! Details Below 👇 Instead of inviting hand-selected local judges like we have in the past, we'll be hosting a festival-like tasting event open to the public (ticketed). You will get to pour/serve your own beer to attendees and each paid attendant will get to vote for their favorite homebrew! This setup should offer a more true people's choice style experience for the homebrewers, and give your friends, family and the public a chance to get involved and taste some of your great brews! When: Saturday May 17, 2025 Time: 12pm to 3pm Location: Gatlinburg Brewing Company - Sevierville (We'll either be in the parking lot, on the patio or in the new facility). Homebrewer Entry Fee: Free! Details: Each homebrewer may enter up to two beers. Beers can be kegged and poured from Jockey Boxes, or poured from bottles. The format is totally up to you. If you do not have a jockey box, but wish to serve from a keg, we can arrange jockey box space for you. Your beer can be dropped off at GBC Sevierville anytime before the event for storage in the cooler, or you can bring it with you on the day of the event. We have a couple of ice bins that we can loan out, but these will be first come, first serve based on who needs them. We also have a couple of tables that we can loan out, but will again, be on a first come, first serve basis. Ice will be provided. Feel free to bring any table cloths, signage, tents, etc to show off your brand. Guests will purchase tickets to attend -- each attendee will receive a souvenir glass and unlimited 2-4oz samples of the homebrew offerings, Prizes: Prizes will be awarded to the top three beers/brewers.
