Show some love and support these local contests and hey, you might be judged by one of us taking the BJCP class SUPERMARKET SWEEP COMPETITION Teams of two or more brewers wanted for freestlye brewing fun. Your team will be provided with 5 lbs of 2-row base malt, 2 oz of Glacier Hops 5.1% AAU to use at your own hopping schedule, and a pitchable quantity of yeast free of charge. You spend $10 per team of your own money on the rest of the recipie. Here's the catch. Shop at the grocery store to pick up the remainder of your fermentables. Get creative and see what you can come up with. Rice, Corn, Honey, etc. The list is endless if you search the shelves. Cereal Aisle anyone. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies...get the idea. Pair up with another brewer and share the $10 out of pocket cost for ingredients and split the beer. Sign up required to pre-organize the free ingredients for you. Email me at mike.osobrewing@gmail.com with your intention to participate or stop in at Point Brew Supply and put your name on the list. Then we will get your free base ingredients packaged and ready for you to pick up at O'so Brewing Co. Have your brew ready for our August meeting (CWDB) to share with the rest of the group. We will have a unique score sheet for everyone to rate the beers with points for creativity and uniqueness. Come up with a catchy name for your beer too.
