Mashout 2024 - Aug 15-18

Club Meetings/Events
1

Please put this weekend on your calendar and make EVERY attempt to participate this year. We have several big elements to recognize this year. 10-year anniversary of George passing, relatively recent passing of Pops.

As a club, I have proposed and recieved almost unanimous support for the club sponsoring a Memorial George O Burgerfest. We will cook burgers (with fixin’s) for everyone at mashout.

I would like to get as many beers on tap as we can. I will ask Brent Jones to resurrect the planning spreadhseet so we can start to track stuff that way.

In a nut shell, each participant should,

  • Try to get at least 1 kegged beer to mashout (our club record is 23 beers on tap)
  • Sign up for one club meal
  • SIgn up for at least one item to contribute to the club sponsored George O’s Burgerfest.

More to follow.

Sorry for the delay on getting this posted. Here is the link to the Mashout spreadsheet. Anyone with this ink has the ability to edit it and make changes. If you have questions, ask. If you make a mistake, use the undo button on the top toolbar. Things that will be important to coordinate early will be beers being brought to Mashout. We do not need 3 of the exact same beers. When you know what you are making, post it so we can get some variety.

Thanks,

Brent

I participated in the Mashout planning meeting last night. We are confirmed to provide the Memorial George O Burgerfest. We all agreed that for timing and such, it would be best to plan to do it on Friday evening 7-9pm at the pavillion. There was some discussion about Crabs possibly joining us to make french fries to pair with it.

So, Please plan on attending Mashout and also helping our club pull this off!

Brent J mentioned bringing kegs smaller than 5 gallons. I said I had a few small kegs that he or somebody else could use. A year or so ago I picked up 3 small ball lock kegs that are rated for 1.75 gals. I have not used the kegs yet myself, but they look to be in great shape. I think they had a little pressure in them when I got them. Let me know if you want to borrow one, two, or three.

They are like the following kegs:

I also have 4 of the Torpedo 10L / 2.6 gal kegs. These are often in use, and there is a good chance I will bring some beer in that sized keg. As we get closer to the event, I can let you know if any of that size keg is available for use.

Team,
We really need you all to buy your registration ticket to Mashout and also sign-up on our google docs spreadsheet. We are only 16 days away from me leaving and I NEED TO KNOW who all is coming. BY now, you should have a pretty good idea. Please pay for your ticket and get signed up for a meal and what you are contributing to the outing. I have copied the note from the Mashout committee below. NOVA Homebrew currently only has 6 people registered. Get to it today, PLEASE!!!

Subject: [EXT] MASHOUT UPDATE

Just a quick update where we are on MASHOUT. We are currently at 52 Registrants. I have been following almost exactly the same emailing schedule as last year and we were at 61 Registrants at this point in 2023. I will be sending another email

Just a quick update where we are on MASHOUT.

We are currently at 52 Registrants. I have been following almost exactly the same emailing schedule as last year and we were at 61 Registrants at this point in 2023. I will be sending another email early next week, we had 29 signups last year between end of July and the event. Back of envelope says we need about 20 more signups to breakeven financially. Again, we have a pretty big cushion in the bank, but if attendance continues to decline - we might need to reevaluate both site ($2,500) and ice ($1,300). At the bottom of this email, are the names I see who have bought tickets.

All of the big things are a go: Site, Insurance, Portapots, Ice.

T-Shirt cutoff will be next weekend.

A couple of things:

  • After talking with Jon and a few others, I think we’re going to scrap the Seafood boil - for financial and logistical reaTwisons. What I propose is that we advertise Saturday as a cleanout the cooler event after the Food/Beer pairing. Thoughts?

  • Twila and Jon will be in charge of sour hour. The cheese was a big hit last year and will be this year. Don’t let any negative comments bring this down, it’s very popular. I’ll let you two coordinate and just let us know what you need to make it work. Next week I’ll take inventory of paper goods, cups, forks, etc.

  • NoVa and CRABS will coordinate what we need to make the burger night work - NoVa burgers & CRABS fries

  • Food & Beer Pairing - I believe Twila said she’d help get setup. Whatever you need to make it work with supplies. We can coordinate.

  • Blind tastings - Jon proposes Pale Ales and Pilsners on Fri/Sat. He may need a volunteer or so to help administer. We’re scrapping the ingredients because last year people had more fun trying to identify the beers. 5 of each style need to be identified.

  • Mead/Cider Hour on Sat - This was suggested by Steve Conrad (who hasn’t signed up) & Les. This can be as simple as just advertising and have people show up at the pavillion, or I know Les had some thoughts if he wants to lead the charge.

IN PROCESS

  • Music - Jeff has a solution, but it’s definitely not as slick as Mike’s DJing

  • Firepit - I have a fairly small Solo stove but if someone has a better solution, let’s hear it

  • Tables - we will probably need some at the pavillion

Insurance is paid for 2025 - around $200, so we’re good for another year in that department.

Let’s hope that we get some more signups - look at the list and try to get people to register who are missing.

Thanks everyone for your efforts! Here’s to another great MASHOUT!
