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.  With the recent opening of the MHBA club library comes a new counter pressure bottle filler.  In order to put this new treasure to use I will be hosting a bottle filling event at my home just prior to the club sponsored Upper Mississippi Mashout competition on Monday January 8th 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.
        Keep this in mind as you plan you next brewing sessions and maybe save the last bit of that current brew in your fridge.  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. 
Kegs can be dropped off prior to the filling date to insure clearing of sediment on Thursday January 4th in the evening.  You can also arrange a different time by contacting me.  If you are interested in participating or volunteering you expertise you can email me at csmitty42@yahoo.com.
