President’s Corner…
Our last day at the Kent Recreation Center for any harvest-related operations will be Thursday,
October 15.
All of our club equipment will be moved to Snoqualmie Ridge Storage on Friday, October 16.
Snoqualmie Ridge Storage (see map on page 5)
http://www.snoqualmieridgestorage.com/
35501 SE Douglas Street
Snoqualmie, WA 98065
(425) 396-1410
So we will begin crushing operations at Snoqualmie Ridge on Saturday October 17th.
Our vineyard focals will be visiting the facility on Wednesday 14th to understand the new layout (see
attached map) and how to conduct the crushing operations. Please be prepared to support the
somewhat different crushing environment. Your focals will provide detailed information prior to your
crush.
Here's a link to businesses near our storage facility http://www.snoqualmieridge.org/ - they have a
new wine bar, an Irish pub, and a supermarket. Best source of hardware is Issaquah.
Please be prepared to help this transition in ways we haven't thought of yet. We're looking forward
to a good second-half harvest season in our new location.

Fifth Annual BEWBC Variant Brewing Competition:
How far can your brewing abilities take you in creating
the best-tasting brew?
Year 5: Work from the Base
We’d like to invite you to join in the Fifth Annual Variant Brew Competition and design the best-tasting beer
possible with a limited set of ingredients. Since we at Boeing are adept at making small improvements to our line of
aircraft, we should be able to do the same for our beers. In this contest, competitors will be given a kit of ingredients, all
of which must be used in the brew. The kits will include malt extract or base malt (brewer’s choice), specialty grains,
priming sugar and bottle caps.
This year’s Variant focus will be on picking a style from a base malt profile. The base beer will be of an “amber”
nature and it is up to the brewer to aim for a particular style by adding hops and yeast. Make the beer into an American
Amber Ale, California Common, English Special Bitter, Scottish 80/-, Flanders Red Ale, American IPA, English
Barleywine (you may need to make a “smaller” batch), Spice Beer, Specialty Beer, or some other style that you think you
can work the malt into.
This year we will also be doing a two-phase judging again. First there will be a BJCP judging of the beers
assessing the technical and stylistic accuracy of the beer. You must specify what BJCP style you are aiming for (see
www.bjcp.org). Then there will be a “tasters favorite” vote at the Winter Social where the attendees will taste all entries
and vote for the beer that they enjoy the most, regardless of style or technical merit. The brew with the highest combined
ranking will win the title of Supreme Variant Brew and the brewer will be dubbed Supreme Variant Homebrewer
(complete with trophy).
To
enter
the
competition,
please
register
online
at
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=K6sH7RyJ_2b8_2fiGeG89GBkPw_3d_3d or contact Mark Emiley (206-2511344 or markemiley @earthlink.net) to register and receive your ingredient kit. Requests must be made by October
20th (if you really want to participate you may contact Mark afterwards to see if we can get a kit ready). They will be
prepared and available for pickup at Larry’s Brewing Supply in Kent, WA. You will simply need to go to Larry’s request a
kit for the BEWBC Variant Competition, check your name off, and pay your fee. There is a $10 entry fee for extract kits
or a $5 entry fee for all-grain kits, payable to BEWBC.
Contest Rules
1. All ingredients provided in the ingredient kit must be used in accordance with the recipe.
2. Processing aids such as Irish moss, gelatin, and water treatments may be used.
3. The batch size is 5 gallons. The brewers must provide six brown, unmarked 12 oz bottles. Entries must be
dropped off at Larry’s brewing supply by December 3rd. The bottles must be capped with caps provided in
the ingredient kit and should be labeled with an AHA/BJCP bottle ID (http://www.bjcp.org/SCP_BottleID.pdf).
4. There are no limitations on brewing techniques provided nothing else is added to the beer. Any types or
amounts of yeast and hops may be added to the beer.
5. Competitors must be registered BEWBC and BEEWBC members (family too). One entry per person.
In a 5.0 gallon batch, this should yield a color of ~15.5 SRM and an OG of around 1.050
