Location: Rorschach Brewing Co.
Date: Monday January 12th, 2026
Time: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM ET
Water: You’ve drank it, you’ve swam in it, heck, some of you have probably even BATHED in it (at some point in the distant past). But did you know you could BREW WITH IT TOO?!
It’s time for our annual January tradition of diving deep (see what I did there?) into the world of water chemistry, and we are happy to have GTA Brews Member (and former club President) Eric Cousineau back to give us an updated presentation!
Also be sure to SIGN-UP for structured tastings if you’d like some feedback on your latest brew.
Also, please don’t forget to patronize our hosts!! Rorschach offers a wide selection of fine beers to go so don’t hesitate to grab some especially if you don’t get out to see them as often as you’d like!
Don’t forget to bring your tasting glass!

Presentation: Water Chemistry with Eric Cousineau!
We are happy to welcome back Eric Cousineau to give us his updated presentation on water chemistry! As is tradition, January’s meeting theme is brewing water chemistry! We will start with the basics like pH and minerals, and their effect on your brewing. Then we will deep dive into some practical tips and tricks to make you comfortable thinking about, and adjusting, brewing water as part of your brewing process.
