As is tradition, we held our January meetings at Block 3 in St. Jacob’s. And what also seems to be tradition, the weather was less than ideal. But that didn’t stop people from showing – no doubt eager to find out who would be walking away with the Mash Paddle of Destiny!

I got my first, very primitive start in home brewing while working in the QA lab at the old Labatts brewery in Saskatoon during my first go-around at university. I continued extract brewing back in the 1980’s before having children & before returning to university to start a second career as a psychologist.
