Hello, The Prairie Homebrewing Companions are in charge of the camp-out this year, and it will be at Camp Nushka on the shore of Cass Lake again. The usual date (first weekend in August) is not available, and the PHC is leaning toward the previous weekend (July 24-26), but is open to having it the following weekend (August 7-9) instead, if those who were hoping to camp have a strong preference for the latter date. Please let me know if you're intending to camp this year, but would much rather see the August date. Otherwise, PHC will get things set for the July date. Thanks,
John Personal. Professional.

So things will be somewhat different at the new stadium, at least this year. There are no group tailgating sites, and we can't bring the trailer grill. During the first home stand of the new season, police were asking people to go into the stadium 30 minutes after the game began, and to NOT stay in the tailgating lot. The club still needs to sell about seven tickets, and Steve Piatz has/had two that he was trying to sell . . . Here's where to find us Monday:http://saintsbaseball.com/game-day-experience/parking/ We'll try to carve out a space in the DART lot, beginning at 4:05. Bring chairs, beer, a dish to share, and something to grill. I'll bring one grill, could someone please bring another? I'll have a few tables and all the accoutrements for eating. Look for the Iron Brewer mystery ingredient announcement during the grilling and chilling session! John Personal. Professional.

I am on the committee for Blues & Brews charity event that is being hosted by Canvas Health on June 28th at the Nicollet Island Pavilion. We have 14 breweries, music, and heavy appetizers. The hope is to sell 300+ tickets.
Money raised at the Blues & Brews event supports Canvas Health programs dedicated to helping people in our community who are struggling with mental illness, abuse, and crisis situations. The event also will support the state’s suicide prevention lifeline and text program, TXT4Life. As a committee member, I will be selling tickets. If you buy through me, you don't have to pay the service fee. I can take cash, check, or credit and will mail the tickets to you. The money goes towards a good cause. Thanks! -Gera (612) 636-9014crankycat(a)gmail.com P.S. If you decide to purchase online, there is a space on the form for how you heard about the event, please use my name. Thanks.

I am hosting a BJCP Mead Exam on Sept 20 in St.Louis Park. Who is
interested in a) taking the test, and b) a short prep-class for the Mead
exam (maybe two sessions)? I have 12 seats for the exam, so the first 12
people to sign up will also be eligible for the class - probably weekdays
earlier in September. Cost is $30 if you're an existing BJCP judge, $50 if
you are not a BJCP judge.
Send your non-refundable check to me at:

Hi, Just a reminder of the exam this weekend. The exam is at 3101 39th St. S. Suite E. starting at 9:30 am on Sunday. Please arrive about 15 min early to fill out your paperwork.
There is still room for a few more examinees if anyone decides they would like a retake.
Cheers,
Susan

Susan,
Sign me up to proctor.
Everyone else - please provide some guidelines for your availability (days of week and times typically open). I have a couple small ones and a wife that is grinding through law school, so late evenings are best for me but I can be somewhat flexible.
I have not taken the online exam and cannot offer a lot of guidance there, but I would take it early. I want to make sure everyone has done it before class starts so we can skip over the procedural part and go right to evaluation / score sheets / etc.
Cheers,
Dave

Dave – sorry, a bit late – hopefully you are still planning on running a short class. Here are all those who signed up. I leave it in your capable hands now. Hopefully since you will be tasting beers with these examinees you will be available to help proctor the exam on April 26th.
Hi Everyone, Here is the info on the BJCP exam coming up on April 26th – Sunday morning 9:30 am. Exam is 1.5 hours so will be out of there by 11. Come about 20 min early to fill out paperwork. Address: 3101 39th St. S. Suite E.
http://www.bjcp.org/examcenter.php - this is the BJCP Exam web page – lots of info there. Some of the highlights are below but you should spend some time on this page.
Exam Study Guide: This is your bible. http://www.bjcp.org/docs/BJCP_Study_Guide.pdf
Exam program description: http://www.bjcp.org/docs/BJCP_Exam_Program.pdf
Judge procedures manual; http://www.bjcp.org/judgeprocman.phphttp://www.bjcp.org/docs/OffFlavorFlash.pdf - Off flavors flashcards – quite helpful
Style guidelines in almost any format you prefer: http://www.bjcp.org/stylecenter.php
BJCP Beer Studies – Beer Appreciation and Exam Preparation,
http://www.bjcp.org/course - this is new since I took the exam – it looks great.
The online exam costs $10 – I believe there is a discount if you feel you will need to take it more than once – you can sign up for 3 takes – can’t remember the cost.
The tasting exam is $40.00 the first time and $15.00 for retakes.
For new people taking the exam – keep in mind that altho there is a lot of material – it takes years to really learn all of this – to become a recognized judge you only need 60% on the exam – so study to learn all of it and you should get the 60%.
Do not leave the online exam till the last minute. You can retake the exam once every 24 hours – take it once early to get a feel for it – if you pass – great – if not you can see where you are at – study some more and retake. You have to have the online exam taken before you take the tasting exam. No exceptions are made.
Have fun with this studying – you are studying beer – always when reviewing the style guidelines – have a beer you have purchased from that category and taste it, think about it and enjoy it while reviewing the guidelines. In what other class are you told to drink beer while studying.
Cheers,
Susan

Subject: New Guide for Growing Hops in Minnesota
From: eric(a)mightyaxehops.com
To: eric(a)mightyaxehops.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MIGHTY AXE HOPS PUBLISHES HOPS GROWING GUIDE FOR MINNESOTA GROWERS
April 21, 2015
TO WHOMEVER ENJOYS CRAFT BEER
Minnesota’s exploding craft beer industry has not only produced delicious beer but has also created demand for high-quality, local hops. And lots of ‘em. To that end, we produced the Minnesota Hops Grower’s Guide.
The Minnesota Hops Grower’s Guide is not intended to be the end-all-be-all of hops growing, it is simply an honest account of our experience as local hops growers. While the guide is written for a commercial scale, homebrewers and backyard hops gardeners alike can glean new techniques that will make for better yields and tastier hops. The guide covers everything about local, sustainable hops production: design, install, planting, management, harvest, and postharvest handling.
The Minnesota Hops Grower’s Guide is available for free download at: www.MightyAxeHops.com/category/grow-hops/
"The Minnesota hops industry is young but growing fast. With so many people jumping in - from backyard gardens to the full scale commercial productions - we wanted to create a practical resource for anyone thinking through the (awesome) idea of growing hops.” - Benjamin Boo, Chief Horticulturalist Mighty Axe Hops.
Please direct media inquiries to Eric Sannerud, 952-201-4227 or eric(a)mightyaxehops.com.
Proudly local,
Eric R. SannerudCEO
