Description

The Fermentals are in their 30th year of service. The F.O.R.D. Homebrew club is dedicated to the understanding and appreciation of fermented beverages including ales, lagers, meads, ciders, wines, kombucha and sake. We provide training to new and experienced brewers needed to brew high quality beers of all styles. The club holds competitions, judging submissions based on nationally recognized standards. Feedback from the judges enables the brewers to improve their techniques and recipes.

Meetings occur the 4th Wednesday of each month alternating between Dearborn Brewing (21930 Michigan Ave, Dearborn, MI 48124) and Downey Brewing (13121 Prospect St, Dearborn, MI 48126), local craft breweries. November and December meetings occur 1 to 2 weeks earlier to drive the highest attendance possible. If the location or time of the meeting changes, members will be notified by normal club communication channels (see additional information below). Dues are set at $25 (single) and $30 [family/spouse] a year. The club performs brewing demos throughout the year and holds a number of additional fun events including pub-crawls, National Homebrew Day celebration and our annual Fall beer-b-que.

Club benefits include: Monthly meetings, access to our extensive library, access to club equipment including a Grainfather electric brewing system, Blichmann beer gun, a special pin lock fitting removal tool, a jockey box dispensing system, traveling bar, a small canopy, and a 15-gallon all grain pico brewing system.
