Publicity
Jay Ankeney is writing an article for Zymurgy for the May edition. The club is urging members to support his efforts.
Brew with a falcon Videos: Ilan would like to get 10 volunteers to commit to making videos of their brew process. It would be best to stagger the release of these videos, starting in March. Suggestions: B-roll GoPro that runs continuously, in addition to a separate interview cam. No shooting in portrait mode! We have about 5 volunteers so far.
