AHA has some resources available, including official recipes each year.&nbsp; Here’s the 2024 page:

> Learn to Homebrew Day is November 2, 2024. Share your love of homebrewing on this annual holiday!

Recipes for 2023 ([2023 Learn to Homebrew Day Official Recipes - American Homebrewers Association](https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-community-culture/2023-learn-to-homebrew-day-official-recipes/)) included “Your First SMaSH Ale” and “SMaSH Sensory Blonde Ale”

Recipe for 2022 ([LTHD22 Hoppy Amber Ale - Beer Recipe - American Homebrewers Association](https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/lthd22-hoppy-amber-ale/)) was “Hoppy Amber Ale”

Those are some ideas for recipes that AHA thought would be appropriate.

As for other tips, I’d suggest that you think through the process in detail, considering where you’ll be brewing, what you’re trying to accomplish, and how to make it appealing to new brewers and avoid mishaps.&nbsp; If this will event will take place in a parking lot or someplace else where you don’t normally brew, it’s good to have thought through everything and to have a bulletproof plan.

Obviously, you can share as much knowledge as folks want, but start out light and avoid 90-minute discussions of water chemistry or LODO or whatever.&nbsp; 😄

Those are just my thoughts.&nbsp; Take them or leave them.&nbsp; 🙂

Thanks! I checked out the page prior to posting this, but it’s sparse. Any idea when they typically post the official recipe? We’re working with a local brewery and science center, so I’d like to be sure we’re planned well in advance.

Be sure to have lunch planned for the group!

Bring some homebrews to share.

Make sure the brew location has water, and accessible electric if needed (or a quiet generator).

Don’t forget your brewery wash and sanitizer!

I wonder if Julia Herz or someone else from AHA might know when the official recipe will be posted for upcoming Learn to Homebrew Day?

Hi all and LOVE this thread. We will be working to publish the offical recipe (Hint, hint it’s a great one and provided by a leading homebrew club) in early September.&nbsp; 🙂

Cheers, Julia
