Hello my friends: 



An Open Letter to the Liquid Poets..... from Jim ?Doc? Damon 





Caution: Education has fallen into a very low priority in our club!! 



There always seems to be a reason why we can?t have any educational talks. 



?The meeting place is poorly equipped for a talk? 



?We got to dispose of all this beer ? 



?That?s the way we have done it in the past.? 



?We don?t have the time? 



Truth of the matter is that we have only had two 15 min talks in the past 10 months. 



What do we need to do to improve this? 



Select meeting places where we can have a private meeting; 

if this means renting a semi-permanent meeting place , so be it 



Schedule some topics in advance...We could do styles of the month ; pour beer for all and have a discussion open to all about that style and even discuss the members examples 



Have panel discussions, on broad topics such as ?My favorite Yeast? ?how I ferment? 

Or ?my favorite gadget? 



Have an open forum where members can ask Brewing Questions 



Invite guest speakers to speak on Topics we choose...of interest to all 

We certainly have tons of expertise in our local area. 




Truth is there are tons of way to improve our brewing knowledge; 


But in order to make it work WE MUST PLAN to do it IN ADVANCE, 

and take some time and dedicate it to EDUCATION.

Hey y'all,
I wanted to respond to this because I thought I might have?some interesting insight to the Poets.? I recently moved here from Brooklyn.? I have only recently been getting serious about brewing and this club is the first one I have been an active participant in.? Being new to the club, and coming from outside Colorado, I feel that the club has been a great asset in my quest to learn more about beer and brewing.? I love the 'style of the month' table, the club-only competitions, and the iron brewer contests.? I really enjoyed the hop talks, the Big Brew Day, and the clubs "best of show" (I won it at the meeting in March, although that was the only time?I ever saw anyone voting...I may have missed the other votes, but I would like to see this more.)? I feel that, however the club operated in the past, it seems to be on the right track as far as education.? 
?
That being said, if the club is going to get better, and we are going to learn more, it is up to the members to get involved.? Joe (et. al.) do a great job, but there is only so much they can organize.? I have some ideas that I would like to implement.? 
?
I want to create a table with different malts (raw and mashed) so people can taste them individually and understand what they bring to the beers, and do the same with hops.?
?
I also am going to sponsor a BJCP certification test in June of 2013.? I would like to start a table at the club meetings to review material and discuss styles and flavors.? I am doing this to help further my own education about beer and I hope there will be others who want to join me.? I'll send out another email with more details soon.? 
?
I would love to see more talks from professional brewers, or anyone smarter than me.? We have such a huge resource of brewers in the area.? We should take advantage of it more.? 
?
Doc,
Thanks for bringing up this topic.?These discussions are how we keep the club from becoming a drunk-fest.? However, it's up to the members to speak up and talk about what they want to learn and help organize how to get it done.? 
?
Cheers,
Nick
?
?

I'd also like to give my two cents. When we first started, I already had
seen large, older clubs turning into drink-fests, some of which had hardly
any homebrew and for the claimed purpose of "further education." Of course
there's nothing wrong with that, but none of us then wanted to go there,
which is where the tasting panel originally started. There is a lot of real
hands-on knowledge to be shared with just that alone. As far as falling to
any wayside, I don't think the club has ever put a huge emphasis on
lectures and talks of that sort, though they usually come around every
three or four months on their own.

The club has always welcomed ideas, and it's worth reiterating that anyone
who wants to give a class or present a topic or conduct an experiment has
only to run it by the board. There is even a fancy "project proposal"
write-up on the front page of our forums:
http://www.liquidpoets.com/LP%20Project%20Proposal%20Plan.doc

Our yearly schedule seems pretty well spread out, with Big Brew, Poetry
Slam, BBQ, Mead Day, Winter Party and whatever else, so there's no time
better than another to bring up a project proposal. Some of us have been in
the club since the start, and not to say we're out of ideas, but much of
the excitement and urge to share discoveries happens with the newer
members. I would invite any of you that have been here one or two years to
think of some experiment, or "homebrew wisdom" to prove or disprove, come
up with the list of needs and estimated costs and get it to the board. It
is always a fun thing.

One element that may be in play, hindering more frequent talks, is that
whereas before we were all very fresh in the club and excited to get to
know each other, some 40% of us have been hanging together for quite a
while and may feel that what one has to share might not be of interest, or
that someone else is better qualified for the job. If so, we could
certainly make a point to give a talk directed at noobs for instance, or
even rope two or three of the more seasoned brewers to give a joint talk
with Q&A. None of us knows everything, and at least one of us has been
brewing for (what is it?) twenty-five years or something. And he's polite
enough to let you share without a peanut gallery.

One last thing (and thanks to those who've read this far): we should work
out just how often the majority of us wants to have a talk. Is it every
month? Every other? Just getting through some socializing and the tasting
panel makes for a full night sometimes. If there were spots to fill on a
schedule, maybe we could rope folks into taking their turn.

The club is awesome. Highly functional. I haven't been very active lately,
so thanks a million to you relatively few folks that keep it driving
forward, and thanks to Joe for doing an excellent job so far.
Cheers!

My only input about the educational talks would be that they should
happen in a separate room than the rest of the meeting, to avoid the
growing buzz of conversation that nearly took over Doc's and Remi's
hop talks.  We should also do a better job of enforcing the time
limit, as some presentations can feel like they drag on (no offense,
Doc), and people's attention starts to stray.
Otherwise, I am all for it! I love to learn about all this stuff, and
I think many club members would choose to attend any presentation we
plan.  Giving them the choice is the big thing, though; we still want
meetings to be a fun place to catch up with your club friends and not
feel like you have to use your "library voice".

Keep up the great planning, guys!
Alison

Message-ID: <001b01cd2ef6$cabf9c80$603ed580$@grotegang.com>

Hi All,

 

As I mentioned at the meeting last week, we are getting close to the comp
and still have the need for some help in the following areas.  If you can
help out, please let me know.

 

May 26:  Beer Pickups

We will have entries being dropped off at a number of locations from
Cheyenne to Colorado Springs.  The drop off deadline is Friday May 25 so we
need a few people who can drive to the drop off locations and collect the
entries on Saturday May 26.  Ideally, we will be getting to each location
when they open for the day (usually around 10am).  Anyone who can help out
will have their mileage reimbursed at the current government rate of $.555
per mile and the club will provide some funds for lunch.  Hopefully you will
also have the ability to keep beer that you collect cold until the following
day when we will be sorting the entries.  If that is not possible, you can
always bring the entries to my house and I will either store them of find
someone who can.

 

People already signed up to drive:  Matt Smith

Number of additional people needed:  4-6

 

May 27:  Sorting

Once beers have been collected, we will be gathering a group of people at
Odell Brewing Company on Sunday May 27 to sort the entries, create the
tables for judging, etc.  Sorting will start at 10:00am and the club will
provide lunch for all who can assist.  We should be done by 5:00pm, so it
will be an all-day event.

 

People already signed up:  Matthew Burton, Matt Kunze, Alison Rosso, Matt
Smith, Lavelle McGovney

Number of additional people needed:  2-4

 

June 3:  Comp Day

This is the big one.  We need EVERYONE!  Well, as many as we can get, to
help judge and steward on the competition day.  You do not need to be BJCP
certified to judge.  The best way to sign up for judging or stewarding is to
log on to http://comp.liquidpoets.com/slam/ and go through the process of
registering as a participant.  During the registration process, you have the
ability to specify that you would like to Judge or Steward.  This is also
where you would enter beers for the comp as well.

 

If you have any questions about pickups, sorting, judging, or stewarding
please let me know.

 

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

 

Cheers,

Alex

OK, we should be all set for beer pickups and sorting.  Thanks to everyone
who has volunteered!  If you sent me an email, I should have responded to it
already letting you know how you can help.  If not, please let me know!

 

Everyone else, please don't forget to sign up to judge or steward at the
competition if you can make it on Sunday, June 3rd.  You can register online

Hi Folks 
: 
I'm pretty sure Brian can use more judges and stewards 
for the 8 secs Competition on this Sat May 19 
And I know there are lots of new judges out there that need points 
Let's all sign up now and support this competition, so we can 
count on their support next month! 

Please ask me if you have any questions; and let me know 
if you are planning to drive or if you need a ride. 


Thanks Very Much Jim "Doc"

Subject: Fwd: 2012 Eight Seconds of Froth-volunteers 


This email is going out to all entrants in this year's 18th Annual Eight Seconds of Froth homebrew competition. 

I'm forwarding the email I sent to everyone who had either signed up to volunteer as a judge or steward on the online site or my direct email to me. If I somehow left someone off of my list, I applogize and please let me know. 

For those in the front range region--we still have a need for more judges and even some more stewards. Many of you may have recently taken the BJCP exam or are studying to take it. Here's an opportunity to judge with many of the region's high caliber BJCP judges who have already signed up. 

Please contract me directly by email with name, rank and judge # (if you have one). 

I'll be sending our more detailed info on this Saturday's judging later on Thursday to everyone on my confirmed list of volunteers. 

We'll be trying to judge a few of the flights up here in Cheyenne over the next couple evenings. Bear with me, I'll be checking my emails each night following these sessions. 

Thanks

I'm sending out this emailing to everyone who registered online to volunteer as either a judge or steward or sent me an email to volunteer. Hopefully, I haven't omitted anyone. 

I'll be sending out more detailed info on this Saturday's judging sessions tomorrow, Thursday. 

Quick details: 

We received 405 entries this year which will be judged in 1, 2, 3 or 4 flights! My goal is to have a maximum of 12 entries per flight--hopefully 10 or less. 

With so many entries to judge, I'd like our stewards to show up by 830 am and our judges by 900 am with a goal to start judging promptly at 930 am. I'll be working on initial judge assignments for the first flights in the am and pm. As our judges finish their first flights they will be assigned to another, hopefully, smaller flight. 

We definitely, could use some more judges so pass the word around. Have them contact me directly by email with name, rank and judge # (if they have one). 

Thanks, 

Brian

I'd be willing to help teach folks in prep for a mead exam. I believe it
would be late 2013 before it would be available to take. When we were
trying to schedule one for mazer cup last year, it was at least 16 months
out before we could schedule a test.

Hey guys,
I have been a little slow in setting this up.? Sorry.
I am sponsering a BJCP exam for next year (either June or July)
Steve Jones is willing to let us use the Pateros Tap Room for the exam.? I first thought about using time during the LP meetings for studying, but I think I would rather socalize and be involved in the tasting tables, etc.? I think we could set up a time and place (again probably Pateros) for meeting once or twice a month to study.? E-mail me if you are interested and I will send out all the relevant info as I get it.? 
Cheers,
Nick

Nick, if you want a spot, you better jump on it. Everything is full through
May next year, and June and the thereafter are filling up rapidly.

Kyle, do you have the BJCP mead endorsement? It would be great to get a
bunch of us through it.

straightforward.

Subject: [Liquidpoets] 2012 LP Slam is almost here!
Message-ID: <009401cd38f7$3b7fc800$b27f5800$@grotegang.com>

Hi all,

 

Just a reminder that the 2012 LP Slam is almost here!  The judging and
awards ceremony will be on Sunday June 3rd at Odell Brewing Company.  All
competition related information can be found here
http://slam.liquidpoets.com.

 

Here are a few critical things to keep in mind.

 

Entries

Entries are due at drop off locations by close of business on Friday May 25.
That's in 2 days!  We should have people picking up entries on Saturday
morning at each location, so make sure to get them in by the end of Friday!
Online registration for entries is available and will save us some time
during sorting if we don't have to manually type in a lot of information.
Visit the competition site above to register and submit your entries.

 

Judging

We still need more judges.  If you can help out, please register as a judge
on the competition site.  You do not have to be BJCP certified in order to
judge, you will be paired with someone who is.  Judging is a great way to
learn more about how to critically analyze a beer and it's not nearly as
scary as it sounds.

 

Stewarding

If judging just isn't your thing, but you still want to help out, we need
more stewards.  We only have 7 signed up so far.  Again, you can sign up to
steward through the competition site.  Stewards help the judges with
paperwork, making sure that they have everything required at their table,
relaying questions about specific beers to the competition coordinator, etc.
It is a great way to be involved and learn about judging without having to
judge.

 

Awards Ceremony

As soon as the judging is complete, we will be having an awards ceremony at
Odell Brewing Company.  I would guess that it will start around 6pm, but the
tap room should be open for us (usually closed on Sundays) by 5pm.  They
will be serving pints and half-pints only, no taster trays, as they will
have a small volunteer staff that night.  We will announce winners and have
prizes available for pickup.

 

Problems?

The registration site not working for you?  Problems signing up as a judge
or steward?  Something else you want to know about?  Just let me know.  You
can email me either at this address or at comp at liquidpoets.com.

 

Cheers,

Alex

Message-ID: <1337790270.36198.YahooMailNeo@web45014.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>

Hey all,
Some of you may know that I'm trying to go the professional route with my brewing.? I've recently been hired on as the assistant beer maker at Pateros Creek.??? Each week we hold a contest where on member of the staff creates a beer and puts it on the Outlaw?tap.? The winner is the beer that kicks the fastest.? 
?
Tomorrow is my beer.??I made a Oak aged wheat IPA.? If you're familiar with the beers at Pateros I used the Snowmelt as the base.? This was the first beer I ever helped Steve brew when I started volunteering there.? It is also the last 5 gallons unless we brew it again.? It's a little like watching my kids grow up and leave the house for good (or would be if i had kids...or a house) Now, I'm not sayinng we're drunks, but I'm pretty sure we could kill this keg in less than 3 hours ( the record right now is just under 4)? I'm tapping it at noon and drinking til it's gone.? 
?
Sorry for using the LP emial to shill for Pateros.? Think of it this way, I probably could drink all 5 gallons, but I would rather drink it with all my friends.? So please stop by. (I really don't want to lose this contest to a bartender)
?
Cheers,
Nick

Subject: [Liquidpoets] Raspberry Blossom Honey
Message-ID: <CAKNgGD=q1C54d=gngDHDs58rOaC=KVpNs1OmAoN+52Z7tiO2QQ@mail.gmail.com>

All,

I'm looking to get together an order of raw raspberry blossom honey in the
next month. I already have close to a barrel (55 gallons) accounted for,
and am extending the deal to the club. This is a relatively hard to obtain
honey, and I'm quite happy to have a source.

It'll be around *2.65/lb *(maybe less the more people that are in), with
60lb/5 gallon minimums (feel free to work with others if four 5 gallon
batches of semi-sweet mead is too much - I'm willing to broker deals among
people, although I'd much rather not deal with honey distribution of those
smaller amounts). Honey lasts for decades if stored properly (sealed, and
under 110F is sufficient - best if under 65F).

*Notes on the honey:* Raspberry blossom honey has many aromas of fresh
raspberry fruit, as well as aromas of raspberry blossoms. This is a rare
instance where the honey tastes like the fresh fruit (fruit from before
fermentation), and can provide a pleasant finish (mead post fermentation)
with flavors and aromas of fresh raspberries. Raspberry honey may also have
fresh floral aromas. It melds very well with raspberries and other 'berry'
fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, and lingonberry.

If you could please indicate your interest by the *31st of May* that would
be best.

Thanks,
Kyle

I'd love to get in on this, but 5 gallons is too much for me. Is
anyone interested in splitting an order? I'm really interested in 15
lbs, but I can go up to 30...

Message-ID: <002701cd3dc6$b6da2120$248e6360$@grotegang.com>

Hi All,

 

The good news is that we had a tremendous number of entries for our comp
this year.  564 to be exact.  Holy mountain of beers Batman!

 

The bad news is that judging them all on Sunday during the main scheduled
time for the Slam is going to be impossible.  So, we are going to have a
Saturday judging session.  We will be holding the judging at the Hops &
Berries warehouse/south store.  We are planning on starting at 1:00pm and
will have a second session starting at 5:00pm in the evening depending on
how many judges we can get signed up how many tables we can do at the same
time.  If you can help judge on Saturday, please let me know.

 

Thanks!

Alex

 Hey Poets,

Our next LP meeting will be at *Odell Brewing Co.* on *Thursday* *June 7th* @
7:00 PM.


We will have a beer social for the first ~ 15 min.  You can bring any
homebrews you would like to share with the group, however, we will also
have a lot of leftover competition beers so it is not really necessary.

1)  Belgian Pale Ale* * (BJCP: 16b) is the June style of the month.  If you
have a Belgian Pale Ale, please bring it for the table.  There will one
(Avery Karma) commercial example for calibration and tasting and then we
will get into the homebrews.  These discussions will be lead by BJCP judges
and is a great opportunity to really dissect the diversity and
qualification for certain beer styles.  For brewers who are interested in
learning how competition beer judging works - this is the table to be
seated at!

2)  We are looking for someone to do a follow-up brew day.  If someone is
interested in hosting a brew session at their house while brewing a Belgian
Pale Ale please let me know.  The club will offer some support for food and
beer.

3)  Iron Brewer Rod Simpson has brought the *Spruce Tip* beer challenge and
these beers will be judged at this meeting.  The winner gets to name the
next challenge!  Bring a bottle if you got one plus a $5 entry fee.

4)  Also, congratulations to all the poets who took home medals up in
Cheyenne at the 8 sec of Froth Comp.

5)  Lastly, a special congratulations is in order to long time club
members, Rod
and Anne Simpson, on the recent birth of their baby boy.
