FW: The 2011 Great Arizona Homebrew Competition

by Michael Behrendt

FYI – and sorry if someone else already forwarded this. //Mike Behrendt From: wnesbitt2(a)cox.net [mailto:wnesbitt2@cox.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 1:41 PM To: wn45(a)ymail.com Subject: The 2011 Great Arizona Homebrew Competition Dear Brewer, Brewmeisters Anonymous is pleased to announce the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition will be held on March 26th and 27th, 2011. It is our hope and our goal that this event will lead to the greater understanding, the greater enjoyment, and the greater quality of homebrewed beer, mead and cider for all who participate. Brewing at home allows us the freedom to make any beverage we are brave enough to attempt. Many home brewers begin their foray into brewing content with any product that resembles the intended beverage. With greater experience in brewing, we gain the confidence and ability to brew with greater predictability in our results. Good beer is a pleasure to drink, regardless of its style. For home brewers who are content with making delicious beverages that don’t necessarily conform to any style, we say “Cheers!” If you are a brewer who wants the challenge of brewing to a particular style, we invite you to brew and enter your beer, mead and cider in the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition. For those who are new to the idea of homebrew competitions here is a bit of what goes on. Judges are gathered that are familiar with traditional styles of beer, mead and cider. In groups of two to four, they taste all of the entries in a particular style category and determine among themselves which ones most closely represents the style. The three that represent the style the closest are given first, second and third place for that style. There are twenty-eight (28) style categories. The style categories are defined by the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) dated 2008 and can be found at www.bjcp.org. Each entry is given a score and several of the best scoring beverages from all the categories are compared to determine the Best of Show (BOS), Second, and third are all determined by the judges. The judges score sheet is returned to the brewer, it lists the judges’ evaluation and comments so you know how your product faired. Why enter the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition? Bragging rights the sense of accomplishment from a brew well made and the prizes. The top three entries in each category will be awarded medals and other prizes. Entries will be accepted until March 23rd.

Re: [mba] new bulk grain hops website

by Keith Brady

Thought I would pass this information along. The on line homebrew shop www.rebelbrewer.comhas created a new website where they are selling bulk grain and hops www.fiftypoundsack.com. They are in the midst of officially launching the site and may not have everything available. All of the prices include shipping and they are offering discounts on $100 and $200 purchases.

late cards

by Paul_Dienhart＠cargill.com

Apologies if you renewed or joined MHBA in late December through the first half of January and still haven't received your card. We're having problems with the forwarding service that notifies that a PayPal transaction has occurred. Some come through, but many didn't during this period. I'm working directly from the PayPal site and trying to catch up and get everyone their cards this week. Meanwhile, if you haven't renewed, please consider it. I hear that the homebrew shops are hassling people who don't have their 2011 cards over the 10% discount. You can link to PayPal from the MHBA website, or send a check for $15 to MHBA at: MHBA Treasurer 2344 Nottingham Crt. Minnetonka, MN 55305 Thanks, Paul Dienhart MHBA Treasurer

Fw: [sphbc] 2nd round of UMMO bottle sorting!

by Chris Smith

----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Eric Anderson <gonolius(a)gmail.com> To: sphbc(a)googlegroups.com Sent: Sun, January 16, 2011 2:32:55 PM Subject: Re: [sphbc] 2nd round of UMMO bottle sorting! Just a reminder all, we'll need some help tomorrow night at the NB warehouse to sort the other entries that have come in. We'll start at 5:30 and go until we're done, which shouldn't take too long since the majority of the sorting is already done. SPHBCers, this is a chance at more volunteer credit! Also... we'll be in need of 24-pack beer cases and 6-pack holders, if we can get 10 people to bring 5 cases (or more) each, we will be good to go! Drop me a line if you can help out.

Mash tun Lid Seal

by beckel

Has anyone tried further sealing their (rectangular) cooler mash tun lid(s) with silicone or another food safe material? Been doing some research on it because the lid of my Coleman Xtreme cooler has plenty of leaks due to it not being flush with the base of the cooler. Particularly in the middle where the latch is and at 2 points on each side above the handles. Was thinking about perhaps wrapping something around the lip of the cooler lid to create a better seal, or perhaps just taking a rectangle of some sort of insulation and attaching that to the bottom of the lid to create the same sealing effect and add some additional top side heat retention. Just not certain what route would be best, nor exactly what materials to use. A flexible Styrofoam like material would be perfect for the 2nd idea. Just curious about others experiences and thoughts. Cheers! Beckel
