Club Meeting – Saturday, March 8, 2008 1-4pmFifth Annual Chili Cook-Off and Swap MeetCSPS
Hall, 383 Michigan St., St. Paul
Once again, Greg Van De Mark will be organizing the Chili Cook-Off!
There are three categories in which you can enter:
Red Chili – meat, but NO beansVegetarian Chili – no meatOpen – meat, beans, green,
whatever
We'll be trying something new this year. Instead of having chili judges, we'll
have everyone vote on their favorite for each category and then have everyone vote on
their favorite overall. The winner of each category gets a prize and the overall winner
gets a prize and the honor of bringing home the Chief Chili Pepper trophy!
You can help out by bringing your chili ready to eat in crock pots and bringing along
extension cords and serving utensils. Bowls, spoons, and napkins will be provided.
The March meeting also features a swap meet. There are people that may want items you no
longer need. You may find items yourself that will help upgrade your brewing operation.
Jonathan Crist and I will be doing a Doctored Beer and Beer Aroma demonstration for the
Technical Topic this month. There will be a prize for who is able to identify the most
correctly.
Also, elections will be held this month. The current board members (Al Boyce-Vice
President; Paul Dienhart-Secretary/Treasurer; and Gera Exire LaTour-President) are willing
to run again this year, but new officers are welcome. Let me know if you are interested
in running.
Of course we welcome all the home brew you would like to bring to the meeting, especially
beers that go well with chili. We even like mead and ciders.
Come to the March meeting! There are lots of fun things to see and do!
Gera Exire LaTour
President, MHBA

New subject: Big Brew Status
Guys and Gals,
We received a ton if interest and suggestions for Big Brew 2008 and have
a little work to do.
Currently there are five batches including Octoberfest, Spring Wheat,
Smoked Porter, Mild, and Brown.
We have the following openings for 5 gallons of bitter wort.
Octoberfest 10 gallons
Spring Wheat Filled
Smoked Porter 10 gallons
Mild 5 gallons
Brown 30 gallons
Note: The brown was the last beer added so some of you may not be
aware.
Now if there is anyone out there with a stash of old hops or barley that
you would like to donate or share, please step forward. The swap meet
is this Saturday and it would be a great opportunity to collect your
donations. Specifically, we are looking for German hops for the Ofest
and English hops for the Porter, Mild, and Brown and base malt for all
of the above.
Thanks again for your participation.
Rick Oftel
