Multiple Homebrew Club activities:

We are planning an inter-club bottle share and picnic for Saturday, September 17th from 1 pm to 5 pm with several of the other homebrew clubs in northern New Jersey. The location is the picnic area at Sunrise Lake in Lewis Morris Park in Morristown (where we held our July 2021 Club Only Competition). Pencil in the date.

Mash Club only Competitions:

September 20th, 2022: We will be opening up the options for our third and final Club-only Competition of the year. You can brew any BJCP-style beer as long as the ABV is 4.5 % or less. There are not a huge amount of styles that would qualify, but there are certainly enough to make this an interesting competition.

April 18th, 2023: Based on helpful feedback we received at the June Members Only Meeting, we are announcing this well in advance. The first Club only Competiton of next year will be ANY style lager.
We plan to have a Sensory Analysis session featuring lagers early in the year to get everyone psyched for the April competition. Start your planning Now!!

MASH Competition Committee feedback:
Starting with the August monthly meeting, we plan to have an expansive BJCP Confessional session. Anyone who wants to participate with an entry from the State Fair competition should contact Steve Hocken directly on Slack AFTER the competition is over. For those participating, plan to bring a growler or 6-pack of your beer for tasting and your score sheets from the competition.
