Homebrewers,
We will be holding the Mills Big Brew a week before the AHA Big Brew Day, as we have been doing since 2012. This will allow homebrewers to join us for “The World’s Largest Big Brew”, and then be able to brew with their own club on May 5th. The Mills Big Brew will be held at the Rochester Mills Production Brewery in Auburn Hills on April 28, 2018. There is no cost for this event and we will be accepting 125 entries.

Our sponsors have donated five malts and nine hops varieties that will be available for you to use on Big Brew Day (you can also bring your own ingredients).
Malt is being donated by Cargill Malts (Pilsner) and Rochester Mills (Vienna, Wheat, Crystal 70-80L, Aromatic).
Hops are being donated by Hopsteiner (Bravo, Calypso, Denali, Lemondrop) and Top Hops Farms (Cascade, Cashmere, Chinook, Mt. Ranier, Tahoma).
