	Mike sent me the original email on the competitions and I stand
corrected. But I did take over and did'nt have the orginial list to
refer back to. 

	But we really don't have the time for a competition this month,
we need to have elections and discuss the Christmas party.

	Sorry just didn't work out.

	MIKE MITCHELL FOR PRESIDENT, HE'S THE ONE THAT KNOWS ALL.

	> Dear fellow olut heads, 
	> 
	> After a long arduous process, I've taken all the suggestions
and 
	> limited down our beers for the upcoming 2007 lineup for club
only 
	brews. 
	> 
	> Drum roll please... 
	> 
	> First Quarter Beer ... which we will talk about in January and

	> will brew there-after for the March meeting. 
	> *(Brown Ale) -- This can be American or English, your 
	choice. 
	> 
	> *Second Quarter Beer ... which we will talk abou t in April
and 
	> will brew there-after for the June meeting. 
	> * (IPA/APA) -- Choose either an IPA or an APA.* 
	> 
	> Third Quarter Beer ... which we will talk about in July and
will 
	> brew there-after for the September meeting. 
	> * (Irish Dry Stout/English Porter) -- Choose either an 
	> Irish Dry Stout or English Porter. 
	> 
	> *Fourth Quarter Beer ... which we will talk about in May and
will 
	> brew there-after for the November meeting. 
	> *(Strong Ale) -- Choose Belgian, English or American. 
	> 
	> * To explain the choices above. The Brown Ale was far and away
the 
	
	> single most popular style submitted. IPA and APA were tied for

	second. 
	> Dry Stout and Porter were also tied. And the next most popular
style 
	> that I saw was Strong Ale. A variety of strong ales were
submitted, 
	> so I figured we would lump them into one category. 
	> 
	> I also received sugge s tions saying that we should open up
the 
	> categories a bit and not be so precise. So I believe I've done
that 
	> without being too broad, and still allowing for a good set of 
	> guidelines to judge each beer. 
	> 
	> Also note that the Fourth Quarter beer will be talked about in

	> May, to allow for brewing and maturation for the November
meeting. 
	> 
	> If you feel that you have a good handle on one of these
styles, 
	> and would like to make a presentation at one of the meetings,
please 
	> let me know. I will also ask George to talk about the style
for a few 
	minutes 
	> and give us the rundown of what the style or styles require.
To make 
	
	> this work, it would be best to have a variety of people
involved. Jim 
	
	> is still working on the matter of having a prize available for
each 
	judging. 
	> 
	> I believe the most popular idea of judging was to let everyone

	> score the bee rs and then add up the scores. Before each
judging I 
	> will ask George to talk for a bit about the style or styles we
are 
	> getting ready to taste. He will give us the main tasting
points we 
	> should be looking for and main defect points we should also be
looking 
	for. 
	> 
	> Each beer submitted should be in plain brown 12 oz. bottles
for 
	> the sake of judging fairly. To assure that everyone gets a
sample, 
	> please bring 4 bottles, just in case there are a lot of people

	> present. I will bring saltines to clear our taste buds between

	> samples. The judging will be done first after the main meeting
part 
	> is done. After the judging is done for the competition, the
floor 
	> will be open for other types of beer that may have been brewed
and 
	brought to the meeting. 
	> I'll tabulate the results and figure who the best of show was.
In 
	> case of a tie, the tie will be broken by a secondary tasting b
y George 
	
	> and 2 random people that want to judge. 
	> 
	> If I have forgot to mention something please let me know. 
	> Otherwise, I hope everything goes well. If you want to brew
your 
	> entry for a category before the date that we will talk about
it for 
	> the first time to allow for more aging, please feel free. This
is why
