Greetings all,
The Jovial Monk first opened its doors on Nov 30, 2002. We will be celebrating this with an Extravaganza at the shop on Sat Nov 27th
Starting at 10.00 I will do a mash demo, an oatmeal stout featuring protein rest, cereal mash, decoction etc. Those rocking up will get a folder of notes covering the process. If you have thought about getting into mashing, or have been thinking about doing a cereal mash but were too afraid this will be a great time to attend, very informative.
Once the brew is at the stage where the wort is boiling the real fun will begin, about 2.00pm:
- Commercial beer tastings, Suffolk Strong, Karmeliet Tripel some others like that, notes on how to taste and evelauate beer will be available.
- Discount Extravaganza. I hope to have like a dozen kegs to sell at 55 to 60 bucks each. Once they are gone I have a good collection of beer books to sell at 5.00 bucks off regular prices, we will have some prize draws etc throughtout the afternoon
- Starting at 5pm there will be a homebrew competition, not sure of a prize for the winning beer but if there is a keg left that would be a great prize, if not a How to Brew book by John Palmer.
-- NB: Please get the beers to me by Wed 24/11 so they can spend a few days settling down. Stick a label on with your name and adress snal or email naturally, and indicate the style.
- When the stout has finished its boil and chill it will be run into a cube and raffled off, proceeds of the raffle to be donated to cancer research.
Pictures will be taken of all stages of the brew, that will make a great chapter on the online Brew Manual to appear on the Monk's website: www.jovialmonk.com.au
