  September Meeting The next meeting of the Black Canyon Homebrewers Association is Thursday, September 14 at 6:00 PM. The meeting will be at Casey’s house in Montrose. Contact me if you need directions.  The big topic of discussion will be Oktoberfest!!! Which is only a few days away! Also, Casey has brewed up a batch of beer which he split up and hopped each part differently. This Hop Bits will be a great way to compare the effects different hops have on beer.
