Re: idea for an Umunhum event

Brian - partly, I don't know the entire process.  Is David's brew crew and 
coming up with a recipe the first step?  If so, it may make sense to coordinate 
the meetup with a day when David et al. try out recipes.

>From there, we could all go to the Hermitage where the final recipes are 
brewed.  I'm not sure what sort of visibility there will be to the entire 
brewing process.  If there is none, then just going to the building and doing 
some hand waving may be enough.

I don't know what the next step after this is.  Is bottling done at a separate 
facility?  And, if so, how much visibility is there into that process?

I assume that labeling comes next?  Is that done when the bottling is done?  
There may be the same visibility limitations.  Or not?  I guess the result 
could also go into kegs and other vessels.  Not sure where or how that happens, 
either.

Then, I imagine that the resulting cases and kegs are refrigerated?  We could 
see the fridge, I suppose.  Not terribly exciting, but something to do.

Finally, we could see where the bottles, kegs, and other vessels are delivered 
to; I guess just arbitrarily choosing a single location where we could all 
settle down would be good, such as Tony and Alba's.

Thoughts?  Refinements?  Objections?
