Also let me remind everyone that dues will be required again in January 2015.
John Kelly will start taking these in the December 2014 meeting, so bring cash
or a check.
Current dues amount = $20.00 per year.
Please write all checks out to Overmountain Brewers.
Thank you,
Donna

Hello Overmountain Brewers!
I just wanted to remind everyone there is the December 2014 Meeting on this
coming Monday at Bonefire. Hope you have been able to brew lots and lots! At
the meeting we will be focusing on the filling out of a BJCP Score sheet and
judging a beer. Hope you have brewed or will be the first up comp beer for
2015. As a reminder I have re-listed the information from a previous email to
the club below, and have listed some homework if you can review before our
meeting.
Additionally, the nominations for officers were made.
The Nominees for the 2015 panel of officers are:
President - Donna Dingus
Vice President - Ben Cowan
Treasurer - John Kelly
Secretary -
Membership Director - Justen Dick
As you can see we did not have a Secretary nominated for this year. If you are
interested or have a nominee who would be able to attend all meetings to take
notes, please let us know before or at the meeting. Otherwise this hat will be
shared with another office.
Now for the homework in order to prepare for Monday's meeting. I am including
various links that can be found on the BJCP site. These would be great for you
to review before the meeting.

From a previous email:
2015 Club Only BJCP Competitions
During the November 2014 meeting there was a large amount of discussion around
how BJCP competitions are judged and how one learns to judge. In order to
fully examine these questions we have decided that we will be doing Club Only
BJCP comps in 2015.
These comps are going to be planned for every other month and we will be
judging/discussing the style as part of the meetings. To prepare for this
adventure, in the December meeting we will be discussing a BCJP score sheet and
seeing how judging is actually done.
We encourage members to brew the selected style, and on the set comp days,
participate in the judging of the beers 'entered' into the comp. These comps
will also help members focus on styles that they may not typically brew.
We want everyone in the club to understand the judging process and to
participate as they can either by entering, judging, or both if possible. Each
person interested in learning to judge a BJCP comp will be paired up with an
experienced judge.
This is to be a learning experience, so if you brew a style, please try to
limit your beer's exposure to other club members in order to keep it as
anonymous as possible.
Entries must be in standard capped 12 oz brown glass bottles that are void of
all identifying information, including labels and embossing.
Printed caps are allowed, but must be blacked out completely.
John Kelly will be the person coordinating the beers and entry numbers, so upon
arriving at the set meeting, provide him with your entries. You must declare
the style category your beer is to be entered in.
John McGill will serve as the Steward, and will be receiving the beer from John
Kelly and then providing it to the judges as they select the order.
The first two styles are as follows and we will discuss what is upcoming at the
December meeting:
Jan 12, 2015
10 American Ale
10A – American Pale Ale
10B – American Amber Ale
10C – American Brown Ale
March 9, 2015
12 Porter
12A – Brown Porter
12B – Robust Porter
12C – Baltic Porter
If you would like to view information related to these styles please see the
style guidelines at this following hyperlink:

If you have any questions about the 2015 BJCP Club Only Competitions, please
let me know.
