NOVEMBER CLUB ANNIVERSARY BREW AND CHILI COOKOFF
Next month’s club meeting is going to be held on a SATURDAY at Ian’s place.  We will be doing our annual Chili Cookoff and a club brew.  Next February is our 20th anniversary and we would like to have a beer brewed by the club ready to drink at the February club meeting.  We will have a brew system setup in Ian’s backyard while we brew our 20th Anniversary Beer – a Belgian Dubbel.  The board decided on the style (to coincide with our Belgian Beer Competition in March), but we want club members to collaboratively come up with a recipe for this brew!  The plan is as follows:

  • We will post a recipe form for download on the PG website sometime in the next week.  Please submit recipes using this form.
  • Submit your recipe via email to president [at] pacificgravity.com before 10/23/2014
  • Once all recipes have been received we will post them with a poll that will be active for a few weeks.
  • The winning recipe must fit within the Belgian Dubbel style guidelines.
  • All members who are current on their membership dues are eligible to submit recipes.
  • This beer will be brewed on 11/22/2014 @ Ian’s house during our club meeting / chili cook off event.

BELGIAN BEER COMPETITION – ORGANIZING COMMITTEE VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
Our new annual Belgian Beer Competition is scheduled to take place in March which means we need to get started organizing this event.  We have several positions open for volunteers, so let us know if you are interested in volunteering.
