Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. I am in the process of making a doppelbock and have a quick question. I am using WLP833 yeast (made a yeast starter and oxygenated for about a minute or so). It is fermenting at 52F for 7 days now. How would I know when to increase temp for the diacetyl rest? I am planning to take it out of freezer and let it sit in my basement (60F ) for about 3 days. (Please suggest if I should be doing something else). Thank you. -- Alexey Korovinskiy

More sorting help needed for Mash Out tonite. - Al From: sphbc(a)googlegroups.com [mailto:sphbc@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eric Anderson <gonolius(a)gmail.com> Sent: Monday, January 20, 2014 1:07 PM To: sphbc(a)googlegroups.com Subject: [sphbc] UMMO Sorting - part deux Hey all... first off I want to thank everyone that came by Saturday to help with the sort! We have a little bit of work left to get the entries ready for judging and we are going to meet tomorrow (Tuesday January 21st) at 7pm at PDBC in Roseville. Also, we found a pallet of entries that didn't get moved into the conference room at NB so we'll need some extra help moving the entries from the Northern Brewer warehouse in Roseville to the brewery and then labeling those extra entries. Drop me a message letting me know if you can make it tomorrow or if you have any questions!

Chop & Brew goes on the NYC Homebrew Tour visiting three homebreweries in Brooklyn over the course of an afternoon.I can't help but think we have plenty of talented brewers in small pockets of the Twin Cities where we could do something like this as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gy84f5pLuU

cider celerity

by Alexey Korovinskiy

Hey guys. I made a very clear cider last year without adding any pectic enzyme. This year I did not add it either and even though it has been sitting in secondary for over a month, it is not clearing up like the other one did. To clear it up, should I add the pectic enzyme now? Or is there other things I should do? Thanks -- Alexey Korovinskiy

I'm still waiting the 100% go-ahead for bottle sorting, but tentatively we're scheduled for sorting at the Northern Brewer Warehouse starting around 10am this coming Saturday (January 18th). If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about gathering a team of awesome people to help label and sort 2000 bottles of beer. Even if you can only stop by for a short amount of time - all help is greatly appreciated! 2000 bottles may sound like a lot, but it does go quicker than you'd think. Also, I'm looking for volunteers to pick up the entries that were dropped off at both Northern Brewer retail locations (Minneapolis & St. Paul) and Midwest Supplies (St. Louis Park). Generally there's 5-10 cases worth of entries at both locations - most of the time I can fit them all in my Corolla with room to spare. Just pick them up on your way to the NB warehouse on Saturday! And another also, we need empty 24-pack cases and 6-pack holders to hold these bottles. If you know of a good source for them, or have a bunch, let me know so I can get a count. Bring them to the sort with you, and if you can't make it to the sort, we can make some arrangements for them to be picked up. With 2000 bottles we need at least 85 cases but I'd much rather have too many than not enough! Let me know (personally) if you: a) can make it to the sort b) can't make it but can help out with supplying cases q) have any questions Cheers! -Eric SPHBC Pres, UMMO Cellarmaster -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Saint Paul Homebrewers Club discussion list.

Re: [mba] Still Looking for judges for the 3rd Annual Lucette Winter Homebrew Competition

by Al Boyce

From: Jon Christiansen [mailto:jdchristiansen1@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2014 9:39 AM To: Jon Christiansen Subject: Still Looking for judges for the 3rd Annual Lucette Winter Homebrew Competition Judges, On Feb. 22nd we will be hosting our 3rd annual Lucette Winter Home Brew Competition! My name is Jon Christiansen and I will, again, be the organizer of this home brew competition. I have hosted a variety of beer competitions and this one is slowly gaining popularity. Last year we had just under 50 entries and we hope to get closer to 100 this year. The judging all takes place inside of the brewery. I am looking for people that need judging and non-judging BJCP points. This comp is sanctioned and points will be awarded to those that help. We will also have some light snacks throughout the day, usually something local and tasty. This is a fun competition with a lot of good people and in my past experience, some great beers have been entered coming in from around the country. Our first year we had beer from at least 5 states as well as last year. Hand etched glassware is awarded to the top 4 entries and many prizes and keepsakes for other people as well. Our goal here is, of course, to give great feedback to those honing their home brewing skills so I always love to have as many BJCP recognized or above judges available. If you would like to help out and earn some points, please respond to this e-mail. I will collect names and judges will be picked on a first come first serve basis.Food will be provided as well including meat and vegetarian snacks. :) Approaching almost 100 beers is our goal this year so I hope to get around 20 judges. Thank you for your time and Prost! Cheers, Jon Christiansen Head Brewer, Lucette Brewing Company Menomonie, WI 54751
