I don't think I'll be making this one.
I think I need a few days drying off after the Poland trip.

Stuck in work but my default answer for points 2 and 3 is "pics or it did not happen" 😉

Well what a great meeting!

Just like Dolly Parton, "Small but perfectly formed!

Thanks to James and Mark we had 3 excellent beers

Now one topic for consideration was another club competition:

Basically its a Smash type comp:

Use a Minch base Malt ( to support them - maybe blagg a prize)

Club will supply 100 gms of hops (variety is TBA)

You are free on water treatment/mashing/yeast used* and any other variables.

* You are encouraged to use 2 different yeasts or a single yeast at two radically different temperatures.

You will be allowed 2 entries, if you go the radical approach you maybe even awarded some browny points for diversity! 

We can discuss this at next weeks Emergency* Meeting in the Boro (yet to be announced !!)

*why Emergency? Why not!

We talked about different competitions for next year over in Poland. A few ideas were thrown around but nothing agreed people there. A Belgian, imperial and fruit addition competition were all mentioned.

Our ideas tonight were more about research/experimentation/whackyness as opposed to just brewing great beers to a style guidline.!

After all, most of us can do that!
