Thursday May 11th @Homebrewstuff

The judging for the Alliteration Ales contest is coming up this week. If you are participating, bring a growler (or roughly equivalent amount) to the meeting for us all to sample and vote on.

Also coming up:

Updates on all the events we are working on this summer, including (but perhaps not limited to) The Western Idaho Fair competition, the summer picnic, Baseball outing, and future meetings at Alliteration and Idawild.

Also, a special educational segment! We took some extra wort from Alliteration and pitched a different strain of yeast into each one. Taste and hear about the amazing difference something as simple as yeast makes.

As usual, social hour begins at 6pm, the club meeting starts at 7pm, and the bottleshare will close out the night.

The much anticipated Maibock competition is upon us! Bring a growler (or roughly equivalent amount) to the meeting for the club competition.

Also on the docket.

-A big thanks to everyone who indicated they were participating in the Alliteration Ales competition! We had a 100% pick-up rate which is so awesome. We’ll be talking about the details of that competition as well as the June meeting at Alliteration Ales coming soon.

-And in May, the AHA Big Brew Day. We’ll be discussing details about this year’s group brew.

-The work is beginning on the Western Idaho Fair competition. We’ll be discussing details leading up to that.

-Also starting to plan for the club summer picnic and potential Autumn activities and looking for people to help head that up as well.

As usual, social hour begins at 6pm, club meeting starts at 7pm, and the bottleshare will close out the night.

Maibock Competition

We will be holding the Maibock competition during our meeting on April 13th. To participate simply bring about a growler’s worth (64oz) of homebrewed Maibock to the next meeting. This is not a BJCP event, just a fun, informal competition, so packaging doesn’t matter. Bring something tasty and the club will vote on their favorite.

Alliteration Ales Competition

The pick-up for the wort from Alliteration Ales is on April 7th. Here are the stats for what you will be getting:
70% Pilsner
20% White Wheat
10% Munich 10
20 IBUs Motueka Hops
1.067 starting gravity
The wort costs $20. We will have members on site to collect money. What you do with it after that is between you and whatever eldritch desires you harbor in your soul.
We will be holding that competition at our May 11th meeting.
