Motion by Ryan to submit and pay for a BJCP sanctioned home brew competition for HRHB club members only to coincide with the club picnic tentatively scheduled for September 8th. Seconded by Alan. Motion passed. Jon will submit the application for the competition. Discussed the brewing of beer to fill the 60 gallon wine barrel purchased earlier by the club. It was agreed that Stout’s, Imperial Stout’s, or Baltic Porter’s would be brewed to fill the barrel. Jon reported that he has already brewed the Lord Fatbottom barley wine with the kit donated to the club by Hawk’s Point and that beer would be added to the barrel.

It was agreed that the beers should be brewed, in a secondary fermenter and delivered to Custom Data (where the barrel will be kept) by the June club meeting. Discussed Blues and Brews event scheduled for June 2nd at the Badlands Activity Center. The club brewed three beers for Hawk’s Point to serve at the event. It was agreed that if one of those beers should win any prize that Hawk’s Point would retain what ever prize money would cover their expenses for the kits and the remainder would be donated to the club. Discussed the ND Brewers Campout at Cross Ranch June 23-24. Mike reported that the K of C beer event would be held at the Dickinson Recreation Center on September 27th to include a BJCP sanctioned home brew competition with details to be determined.
