It's just about Mashout time again!
Yup, it's going to be our dozenth anniversary and we're getting ready for another awesome Mashout! This year’s theme, since it's our twelfth anniversary, is The Dirty Dozen.
For you volunteers, and if you aren't one you really gotta get on board, the judging will be at Grumpys-Roseville again as it’s a great place with killer beer and food. We'll be doing a lot of the really cool stuff we always do...plus a few new angles. You'll be wined and dined like no other competition in the nation plus your standard commemorative beer and glass.
We'll have lunchtime speakers, again, for your enjoyment. For Friday lunch, Steve Piatz talking all things sour. How to make them, what to expect, etc, etc. For Saturday lunch, Joe Formanek multi-multi-multi-award winning home brewer will give his own personal take on all things brewing and how to basically make kick ass beer.
The massively popular Friday night Piss-up will be back and better than ever. Piss up Dirty dozen-style. Bring your wackest, dopest, dirty or funky commercial beers possible. Sour, risqué and so on. This is an ode to twelve years of craziness. There will be some stuff a lot of you guys have never tried before! As always, the ever awesome Cellar beer event will be the hallmark of the evening.
We'll again be doing Al Boyce's fancy glassware for a swap-o-rama. Bring, trade, purchase cool glasses.
Brand new this year: The Pour Choice award! This inaugural award will be given to the brewer of any gold medal winning beer that most embiggens all that is Pour Decisions Brewing Co. The winner will then be brewed at PDBC sometime in 2013!
Finally, the banquet is always a great time. Last year we were full and seats, again, are sure to sell out quickly so get your tickets ASAP. You again get a commemorative glass, meal, beers and the debauchery that follows.
So, what are the important dates?
- Registration opens on 14 December.
- Dropoff begins on 28 December.
- Registration and dropoff end on 11 January.
- The Mashout happens on 25 and 26 January.
- The banquet happens the evening of the 26 January.
So, just like the election, enter early and enter often! We cap out entries at 1,000 and we've hit that in previous years.
See you there!

Subject: [mnbrewers] Re: 15 gallon kettles
Forgot to mention, for those not familiar with tri-clover sanitary fittings.
Both the 1.5 and 1.0 inch tri-clover fittings use the same clamps, the only
difference is the inside diameter of the tubing. I use 1.5 inch fittings on
my system but am using hoses with 0.5 inch inside diameter with the
appropriate 1.5 inch flange and 0.5 inch hose barb, works just fine.

Anyone looking for cheap 15 gallon vessels. Take a look at these, they
appear to the Brewers Resources ones that have minor weld issues that mean
you can only use on the hot side. Brewers Resource
