Mashout

by Rick Oftel

Al, Just a quick thank you for putting together such a well run contest and series of events. This contest just keeps getting larger and larger every year. The prizes were very nice. Two days after the event the scores were tallied, the sheets were returned and the medals arrived! I have already put the date for next years contest into the planning system and will work my May events to fit around it. The one thing I learned this year and should have remembered from previous contests is the word enter. You can't win or find out anything out unless you try. You can disagree or argue with the results but the feedback is always valuable. It was interesting to look over the multitude of comments and contrast them with some of the folks doing the judging. Some people are very sensitive to hops and mentioned I used too many. Other folks are at the other end of the spectrum and mentioned I needed more. One comment suggested that I use a little grain in my recipe to increase the malt character. Hmmmmm............ All in all, the judging was good. Points were a little scarce. Look forward to next year. Sincerely, Rick Oftel MHBA Member at Large

The Boreal Brewers of Bemidji have graciously invited the members of their neighbor beer clubs to their annual beer tasting party in Effie, MN on June 12.

Puleeze. WTF is "unfocused" supposed to mean when describing a beer? (Although I do agree wholeheartedly with his fond memories of Ballantine IPA.) Karl
