6:00 — Announcements – Gene
Marcello’s had some dry yeast packs that were very out of date and not sellable, so they offered them to us for free.
Also, there will be no December meeting because Marcello’s needs the space for extra holiday stock.
Christmas Party will be posted on Facebook page. (@ Nick’s Brewdio)
