Subject: Updated wine juice price list. New additions
Please see the updated juice price list with.
Muscat orange, Nebbiolo, Malbec, Valdepena/Tempranillo, and Carignane added. I have already ordered the muscat orange when it became available and offered it to the people that attended my grape crush yesterday. One third is already gone. This is strictly first ordered/ first served. Want some email me asap!
Does anyone want to get in on the grape juice buy this year? Duane brings in a truckload of a variety of 6 gallon buckets of fresh California grape juice each year. See attached.
Do not reply to me – reply directly to Duane. Orders due 9/23, pickup is 10/1 from 9 to noon. Do NOT order if you cannot attend the pickup.

Subject: State Fair homebrew competition volunteer information
Hello!
Thank you all so much for volunteering for this weekends competition!
I have a preliminary judging schedule made up which you can see if you log into your registration information on the website. Know that things may change but if you are assigned to judge we expect to see you there! Please let me know if you are no longer available. Those that have signed up to steward will not be placed ahead of time, so please show up and we'll place you prior to the session starting.
Dinner will be served Friday, followed by Summit brewery beers, and raffle prizes. For those unable to make it Friday we'll save some raffle prizes for Saturday. Light breakfast and Lunch will also be provided Saturday. All judges will receive a state fair ticket and some complimentary Summit Brewery beers.
Speaking of Summit Brewery.... This year Chip and the lovely folks in charge are allowing us to use the training room as our judging headquarters! A/C for the win!
The training room is located in the Summit Brewery office building behind/east of the main brewery. Take a left after the train tracks before you enter the cul de sac and follow that to the smaller canning building (follow the beer pipeline). You can park back there or park in the main brewery lot and follow the beer pipeline through the grass to the training center. I've attached a map and there should be signage at the breweries main doors.
The address for Summit Brewery is 910 Montreal Circle, Saint Paul.
I've also attached a word document which lists the State Fair categories we will be using for this competition.
Please download the 2015 BJCP Beer Styles Application to your phone prior to the competition, as we won't have any printed out guidelines.
First time volunteers, please arrive 20 min prior to your session so you can attend a quick orientation for your judging or steward position and announcements.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
And please thank Chip, and all the other employees while there! They are awesome to let us use their space.
Reminder, please join us at the live Best of Show awards ceremony on Saturday August 27. The judging will begin at 11am and awards will follow on the MN Craft Brewers Guild stage in the horticulture building.
Thanks again and see you this weekend!
