FW: 17th Annual Domras Cup Mead Competition - Savannah, GA - Feb 7 - a call for Judges & Entries

by Al Boyce

Want to judge meads in Savannah, GA? - Al From: Stovall, Chris [mailto:stovall.c@thomasandhutton.com] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2015 9:43 AM To: Stovall, Chris Subject: 17th Annual Domras Cup Mead Competition - Savannah, GA - Feb 7 - a call for Judges & Entries Hello Southeastern Judges & Mead Judges- Second call (appears the first is still lost in cyberspace) for Judges & Entries for the 17th Annual Domras Cup Mead Competition When: . Competition Date: Saturday, February 7, 2015. 9:00 a.m. Judges/Stewards on site by 8:30 a.m. . Entry window: January 1, 2015 to January 27, 2015. Where: Captain Butler's Retreat, 115 Penrose Dr, Savannah, GA 31410 on Whitemarsh Island (fantastic venue on the marsh) Post-party and Oyster Roast/Low Country Boil begins ~ 2:30 p.m. (immediately after BOS meads are judged), ending time is up to you Why join us? We can use certified judges and mead aficionados for judging and stewarding. We have a number of local BJCP-certified mead judges, but always need help. For those wanting to learn more about mead judging, this is a great competition to attend. We'll try to pair you up with one of our experienced mead judges. Each volunteer will get an etched Domras wine tasting glass and look for some of our new SBL "crimp-less" bottle openers to be available as well. Drawings for a door prize or two will be in order. Bagels, etc. will be available before we start and snacks in between. Immediately following judging, we hold our epic post-party and oyster roast that is an event not to be missed, so if interested in helping to judge or steward, please sign up on the registration page and/or email me and come join us. We generally try to finish in one round though a few folks may have to do two small rounds (we strive for no more than 10-12 total meads per judge). BOS will coincide with the beginning of the after-party with results announced shortly thereafter. Michael Fairbrother, of Moonlight Meadery, will be joining us once again to showcase some meads as well as provide some expert evaluations, Why enter? You still have two weeks to enter. The cost is just $7 first entry and $6 each additional entry. Any size bottle is acceptable (meads will be served "blind" by our experienced stewards to allow for non-standard bottle shipments). We know your mead is a precious thing. You can send any number of bottles you want, but we do recommend a minimum of one 750ml, two of anything smaller, and two if carbonated to ensure a fresh bottle for the BOS round. Three are recommended for the "Other Fruit Mead" category due to a likely MiniBOS round. Ship early and we will get conditioned quickly so they are ready for competition day. Ribbons and lots of great mead-centric prizes from the Savannah Bee Company (can you say 100 lbs of regional honey!), commercial meadery products, and Savannah Homebrew Shop will be provided to winners. At this point we don't have plans for remote drop-off locations where our club members would pick up. If entries are registered and paid for and at proper condition, however, we can accept the entries the morning of the competition (or better yet on Friday) if someone is planning to come judge from an outside area. We'll leave that up to each club to arrange. Just let us know in advance about any special arrangements needed. For more information please visit the SBL website at http://www.savannahbrewers.com/domrascup.php . The direct link to Domras Cup on-line registration page is http://domras.homebrewcomp.com For lodging, there are no hotels on Whitemarsh Island, which is 6-9 minutes east of downtown Savannah. A cheaper option is the Baymont Inn 2 miles west of downtown. The area is industrial but the hotel is nice and clean, and $85. Here is some info from Trip Advisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g60814-d563256-Reviews-Baymont_Inn_S uites_Savannah_West-Savannah_Georgia.html . There are nicer (and pricier) hotels downtown in the $150-200 range with easier access to downtown activities. More hotels on Trip Advisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/HACSearch?geo=60814 <http://www.tripadvisor.com/HACSearch?geo=60814&inDay=1&inMonth=02%2F2013&ou tDay=3&outMonth=02%2F2013&searchAll=false#02,1356966317053,map:-1,rad:S10mi, sponsors:ABEST_WESTERN,mc:S32.0934254135425|-81.12779751281736,mz:-13> &inDay=1&inMonth=02%2F2013&outDay=3&outMonth=02%2F2013&searchAll=false#02,13 56966317053,map:-1,rad:S10mi,sponsors:ABEST_WESTERN,mc:S32.0934254135425|-81 .12779751281736,mz:-13 We are only the second longest-running, not nearly the biggest or most prestigious, but we make a claim to be the funnest mead-only competition in the world!

MHBA meeting tonight--Brewers Hall of Fame

by John Longballa

Another reminder of the meeting tonight:http://www.mnbrewers.com/events/category/meetings/ We'll also have an opportunity to discuss the homebrew you bring (bring at least a six-pack or keg or two-liter bottle) for the Brewers Hall of Fame. You may always bring a lesser amount to share informally, but it just won't qualify for the Hall.http://www.mnbrewers.com/mhba-brewers-hall-fame/ We began this program at the November meeting, and here's what happened there . . . Quite a few folks gathered around a Barley John's picnic table, and four brewers took turns introducing their beers and passing them around. Before we passed each beer, the brewer gave the audience a description of the recipe and process. While the group sampled the beer, questions and comments were shared. Jon Hunter brought a California Common brewed with Northern Brewer hops that Jon's friend had grown.Heath Rhodes shared a Pliney clone. (don't try to say that ten times quickly, and don't confuse it with a pine cone)Max Brummel, who had JUST joined the club, passed around some of his very first homebrew, a dark mild.Chris Smith had us sample two of his creations; the first was a German Alt made with all Styrian Golding hops, and the second a wheat wine. Each brewer will receive credit for the category of beer shared. Dave Royer and I will soon have a special page on the site where you can see who has received credit for which styles. There is no minimum quality requirement--just a minimum QUANTITY requirement, and that's so that we have enough for everyone at the meeting to get a good-sized sample. I apologize that we didn't do Hall of Fame beer sharing at the Christmas meeting, but at 8:30 the hall was still so packed and there was still voting and things to be done. Bring your beer tonight instead, please! John
