Re: [mnbrewers] Mashout bottle filling & info gathering

Thanks Chris! This is a great service! - Al -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Chris Smith" <chriss(a)blcflooring.com> Have you ever wanted to enter a contest but all your beer is sitting in a keg and not a bottle? Are you curious if your latest creation is medal worthy? Well, you won't have to wait any longer. I’ll be hosting a bottle filling event at my home just prior the club sponsored Upper Mississippi Mashout competition on Thursday January 10th at 6:30 PM. We will provide expert knowledge on the proper filling techniques along with knowledgeable feed back from experienced BJCP judges for style placement of your homebrew for optimal results. All you will need are clean empty bottles and caps and the next potential best of show beer, mead, or cider. Sanitizer and cappers will be available but if you have a capper bring it along. If you have any questions about any potential entries or need advice on which category to enter just bring a bottle or two. If you have never entered the Mashout before there is a new entrant category for you to enter. Entering contests can be good way to get feedback on potential improvements you can make on a brew. A computer will also be available if you need help registering your entries. If you don’t have beer to enter and are consider entering a contest in the future or not this should be a great resource for any home brewer looking to improve their skills. If you are interested in participating or volunteering you expertise you can email me at csmitty42(a)yahoo.com. Where: 4733 13th Ave S Minneapolis, MN 55407 When: Thursday, January 10th 6:30 PM
