Welcome to the official website of the Manty Malters.

The Manty Malters is a homebrew club based in Manitowoc Wisconsin. We meet once a month all year around, and every other month our meetings are open to the public, the other meetings are for members only mostly because the Saturday meetings are at members homes at times. During the Members only meetings we do a wide variety of brewing activities such as, club brews, informational classes, trips, and other fun stuff related to beer or brewing.

Our Next meeting will be picked at a later time. The first Saturday of July is the Fourth of July weekend. We talked about changing it, but need to confirm a place to have it. The next meeting at Kathy's Stage Door Pub will be August 7th.

• Going All Grain with only a mash tun (how to test out if you want to go all grain with only the barest of essentials. Basically just adding a mash tun and trying your hand at all grain with only a 20 quart pot, 1 fermenter, 1 mash tun, and still do a 5 gallon all grain batch)

Local Tips

You can get a CO2 tank filled at Paintball Pauls(920-683-1764 or 920-683-3399), not only airgas. Instead of a week, you get your tank back in 1-2 days. There is a place to fill in Sheboygan (Andre Fire and Equipment 920-452-6058)where they fill while you wait, the hours are 7am-3:30pm.

I did not get a lot of pictures, to be honest I forgot we brought the camera, the sad part is I was driving so I really didn't drink much so I shouldn't have forgotten. Anyway, I only have 2 good pictures that turned out. If anyone else has any photos, just email me a copy and I will post them.
