Hey JABbers!
The June meeting almost didn't happen, but one of our new members, John Focht, has
stepped up to host! The meeting will be at the usual time (around 6:30) at 8515 Allegheny
Circle in Victoria. Make sure to thank John for doing this! The "style" of the
month for mash paddle is Lawnmower beers (lower gravity, easy drinking beers). Feel free
to bring other brews as well! I'll be at NHC that month, so everyone have a great
time!
Also don't forget to start planning your 2014 Experimental Brew! Each year we do a
group challenge beer to get us all trying something new and unusual. In the past we have
dabbled with different brewing sugars, yeasts, hops and even randomly assigned
ingredients! This year's experiment will be for you to include some type of
Breakfast Cereal in your brew! This could be as simple as using oats in an oatmeal stout
to as crazy as using Captain Crunch. We will be tasting and judging the beers for the
September meeting so there is plenty of time to get planning! The mash paddle that month
will go to the best Cereal beer. We will be judging on overall drinkability of the beer,
but also judging on how well the cereal comes through. Go big or go home!
