This week on November 8th we will meet to discuss English beers. We will have a Homebrew example from Mike Florez. Mike brewed an English Ordinary Bitter from Gordon Strong’s recipe and put it in one of our new firkins. We have asked Randy Schiltz from Wooden Cask to discuss English Beers. The firkin will be tapped. This will be an eventful evening. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Hi Malt Infusers,
We have a busy week coming up. Our Oktobersbest beer competition is Saturday October 13th. Anyone who wants to assist with the competition, we still need judges and stewards. Please let me know if you have not registered to judge or steward.
We will be sorting bottles on Wednesday October 10th at Paradise Brewery- you are welcome to help sort. We will start at 6:30 pm, address: 7766 Beechmont Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45255.
Thursday is the meeting where we will learn about off flavors, just in time for a quick review before judging. However, everyone is such a great homebrewer that I’m sure we won’t detect any off flavors- but it’s great training!
Meeting is October 11 at 7:30 pm

Oktobersbest is on Saturday October 13, 2018. If you are dropping off beer the day of the competition, please arrive before 8:30 am. Judges and stewards please arrive before 8:30 am to register. Judging begins promptly at 9 am. There are 2 sessions, with continental breakfast and lunch provided.
Hope to see everyone often this week!

Topic is Pale Ales. If you received a kit, bring your finished beer to the meeting. We will taste them to evaluate the effective of the variations in the process. After that we will blindly compare them to commercial examples.
If you ordered your CMI shirt, it will be ready for pick up on Thursday.
If you haven’t ordered a shirt yet, place your order at least 2 weeks before the September meeting to allow time for it to be prepared for the next meet.
We will also be having a raffle.
Looking forward to a great meeting.
