"Hi all, For JCHH I will have a nice variety on tap A Black IPA-I nice citrus note to this one, with a good hoppy profile. FrankenBock-You know the style, I made it a little bigger, so it has a little more kick, but still pretty balanced. English…"

"I sent an email asking people to help out saying if you can fill a spot, it won't go against your 3x a year count."

JCHH Suggestion

I had an idea.  I know that we have some openings on the calendar for JCHH.  For me the limiting factor for stepping in to fill the holes is the limit of 3 hostings.  I don't want to host 2X in January and only have 1 left.  I would propose that if we are 1 week out, and have no one slated for JCHH if someone steps in, that does not count towards their 3 hosting total.  Thoughts?RyanSee More

"I lke this idea.  I know we do it on a smaller scale, but that is half the questions I get at the meetings-what do you think, how could I improve this.  It is always nice to see different executions in the same styles and I always like…"

Ryan Dow replied to Josh Conley's discussion Competing in competitions together.
"I like the idea of mini competitions to help us discuss how to improve things and really develop our skills.  With a lot of competitions you miss that back and forth to get some honest feedback.  We can do it in an anonomous fashion if we…"

"Matt did a pretty good job of summing up the beer scene.  We really have an exploding craft brew scene in Iowa.  I know when I started coming to our meetings we only had 6-10 people there.  Now we have about 90 members in the club and…"

"If you guys still want in for hard cider, I need to get a keg from you ASAP.  They plan on pressing early next week and will only give me 24 hours notice max.  If I remember the price right it ran around $35 last year."

Ryan Dow replied to Torrey Johnson's discussion Templeton Rye Whiskey Barrels for sale
"I think a group barrel is a good idea.  We just need to have either a few trusted brewers, or one brew day if people can travel (maybe early Oktoberfest day at Dave's)."

"When we mention giving away beer at events we might want to say that we give away samples, just to keep things in line with the letter of the law."
