More photos, once again – not enough were taken, but more next time for sure.
So much grain to mill, so much milling about to do.
Skip ahead a half-an-hour and someone decides to pour the grain into the HLT.

Mashing in and pull gains out, Brian’s got the beard for the job.
So much grain, so many good smells.

Sorry I didn’t get any of the havoc that was the cooling phase, or of Greg W’s oat smoked malt Gratzer. It was a fantastic brew day and was glad those who could make it out did. Thanks to all. We’ll taste and drink come September.
There are a few more pics on the Brew Days page.
The next club meeting will be on Sunday, Feb 24, 2013 at 2:00 PM at Chuck Warner’s house in South Portland.
Come sample beer and discuss beer and brewing. As always, bring a glass and some homebrew or commercial beer to share and snacks if you like.
We will be starting to hold a brief and informal BJCP “style of the month” discussion at monthly meetings. This month’s discussion will be led by Andy Souza, and the style will be Doppelbock.
Hope to see you at the meeting!
We wanted to take a moment and give a huge thanks to all those who entered. This competition was fairly hard to judge mostly because all of the beers brewed in the club are getting really great. If you didn’t place or win, you should be proud of the fantastic brews that you make.
We started a bit early, but we were all pretty excited to get going.
Much later in the day – the group sits down for Best of Show. Here are the potential winners artfully displayed.
Watch the listserv and here, later to see the winning beers. Cheers!
Tentatively, the next meeting will be held Sunday, Feb 24th. Stay tuned… More details to follow.
Brian posted a thread on homebrew talk for a better way to communicate and talk about the upcoming group brew. As of now it’s a Berliner Weisse, stay abreast on updates and yell at us on mistakes/ideas there. Cheers.
Many thanks to those who could make it out to the big stout brew day. We are in the works of planning more in the very near future. So keep abreast here, on the blog, for more info on date/times.

The January meeting will be on the last Sunday of the month, 1/27/13, at Craig Dilger’s house in Portland. Watch for an email reminder as we get closer to the date of the meeting.
Come taste some great beers and talk about brewing and beer. As always, bring some homebrew or commercial beer to share, a glass, and snacks if you wish. Hope to see you there!
