Matt has a friend that has been making mead for some time and just recently got his license to start a commercial venture down in Camp Springs, KY. 4 Mile Wine Co…so he’ll be sharing about making mead, wine, and the whole process of looking at going commercial on a small scale.
The meeting is October 13 at 7:30 PM at Queen City Clay. Note the parking areas and entrance locations below (although the southernmost arrow should be facing west/left, not north).
In June, several members ‘drafted’ beer ingredients and a process variable to brew, and since many have been doing their fantasy football drafts, it’s a great time to judge these beers! Here’s the rub: many of those available to judge have entries, so it’s not exactly fair… WE NEED YOU! We will be awarding two awards – one is a best of show based on BJCP guidelines, and the other is based on audience choice. Come out and help drink evaluate these beers!

Oktobersbest: Judging on October 15 at Norwood Community Center, details.
Cellaring / Aging Beers, and what we can do as homebrewers to help with long term stability of our beers. Look to discuss products to help scavenge oxygen / help with stability (Ascrobic Acid, Brewtan B, K-Metabisulphate). Also what impact age / cellaring has on beers. Bragging rights for the person that brings in the oldest beer (commercial or homebrew). So we’ll do some tastings of a number of older beers I’ve been cellaring and see how they hold up. Some will be good styles to cellar, others will not!
(note that ‘bad’ is not included in the above description!)
The meeting is August 11 at 7:30 PM at Queen City Clay
We have a big brew pot that we can brew 25+ gallons of beer at once and split the wort to see the impact of different yeasts, dry hops (variety, amounts), adjuncts, wood aging, etc. Email Matt B if you are interested.

We’ll look to evaluate coffee impact on our beers. We’ll do some basic discussion and share experiences on adding / imparting coffee flavors as well as some tasting of controlled dosage beers. I’ll be bringing a number of other coffee beers to share. We will also have straight coffee (used in dosing) to taste as-is.
