March Meeting Agenda
Since nature eschewed our efforts for a meeting in February (you damn, dirty month!), the agenda is pushed to March.

An off-flavor test. Bring your scoresheets from Mashout (and a bottle or two of entries, if you still have them) for celebration or commiseration.

Location
Northern Brewer on Grand Avenue (https://tinyurl.com/NBStPaul) is kindly keeping the door open for this meeting in their Grand Avenue store (thankyouverymuch!) and is happy to honor your SPHBC discount on supplies while there (and, again, the next day, when you are back to pick up the Starsan or bottle caps or whatever you forgot to buy during the meeting).

Thank you Northern Brewer!

Other Stuff
As always, if you bring homebrew or mead or cider (or whatever), bring along your recipe and brewing notes.  Leave your ego at home.
