Greetings Klobbers! Just a reminder to join us at Final Gravity Downtown for our February Meeting at 7pm. This month we will be discussing Entering Homebrew Competitions with a presentation by Jason Kniss & Brian Stevens. They'll talk strategies, methods, feedback, and using those to brew better beer.

Speaking of beer competitions, we'll have the results from the KLOB Kup competition! If you entered a beer, be sure to be at this meeting to see who won.

Also, those of you who made ciders from Husted Farms and want to enter it in the GLINTCAP Cider Competition, they have an early bird special on entries, save $5/entry! Below is all the info...
