Oct 2016 Club Meeting: 7p Oct 4th @ Northern Brewer St. Paul

1150 Grand Ave, St Paul, MN 55105 from 7-9.

Arrive a few minutes early as the doors will close to the public at 7.

We’ll have some Extract St. Paul Porter put on two different toast levels of French and American Oak to sample. We’ll also have some commercial wood-aged beer and some barrel-aged stuff. You’ll be surprised by all the flavor you can get out of a few little wood cubes! Will discuss a little about what to do and not to do when dealing with barrels. Hope to see you there!

Homebrew is allowed.

Sep 2016 Club Meeting: 7p Sep 6th @ Jeremy Olson’s House

Members are encouraged to brew a beer to style for this meeting, and bring it with for other members to sample and evaluate. The style guidelines can be found at http://www.bjcp.org/docs/2015_Guidelines_Beer.pdf There will be a brief rundown of the style, along with a vote for people’s choice. As an incentive to brew and bring your beer, the winner of this contest will be awarded a prize. If you are looking for suggestions on a recipe there are members of the club with award winning APA recipes. Reach out if you are looking for help.

This meetings theme is timed to coincide with the 2017 Minnesota Mashout competition. This is a great opportunity to hone in your recipe and get feedback regarding your beer. Bring your recipe with to the September meeting for the best feedback. Make sure to include your brewing and fermentation notes.

Looking toward the future we have more style focused meetings planned. Start thinking about Stouts for the January meeting. Check https://sphbc.org/brew-the-style/ for more detailed information.
