Hey folks,
First things first, this is your friendly reminder that the April meeting
of the Delmarva United Homebrewers will be taking place this coming
Thursday, April 11th. We'll be meeting in the upstairs dining room at
Dogfish Head, with things getting rolling around 7pm. Bring samples of your
latest creations, if you have any to share, also make sure you bring along
your $1 club donation. It's pizza night at the pub, so come on in for
dinner and the meeting.
Another event going on this week is Delaware Beer Week at the Pickled Pig
Pub. Monday, April 8th they are featuring Delaware Homebrewers - so if you
have some beer that you would like folks to try, bring it on over to The
Pickled Pig at 6pm. Several of our members are already signed-up, if you
are interested just drop me a note or show up!
Next on the list is the rescheduled DUH Chili Cookoff.....the date is
Saturday, April 13th. The event will be held (as always) at John & Linda
Novosel's Shipwreck Brewery in Lewes. Happy hour starts at 5pm and chili
tasting starts 'promptly' at 7pm. If you've never attended before, here's
how it works....
Bring a crockpot of your best chili (and a spoon to ladle it out with), and
just like the DUH-Throwdown, vote for your 3 favorite chilis. The results
are then tabulated and the top three chilis usually walk away with prizes
and the winner gets their name 'engraved' on the coveted Pink Pig Trophy.
Bringing chili is not required to attend, and appetizers are always
appreciated. Feel free to bring any samples of your latest libations to
share as well. Here is the important information:
John & Linda Novosel
32043 Conleys Chapel Rd.
Lewes, DE
302-947-2999
Next up: Saturday, May 4th Jess & Terry will be hosting the DUH BIG BREW
Day and National Homebrewing Celebration Day at Jester Acres in Ellendale.
More details will follow, but if you are interested in brewing or helping
others brew that day - let me know. Just like last year, after the brewing,
we'll do the eating and drinking thing :-)
Any questions about any of this, feel free to drop me a note and I'll do my
best not to screw up the answer.
Cheers,
Terry

February Meeting Update
Hey Folks,

The events will be taking place at Dogfish Head in Rehoboth. The Throwdown will start around 7:15pm in the upstairs dining room. As an added bonus, Jason Weissberg from the pub has invited our group to sample some brats/sausages. I've included that information at the bottom of this note. First, information about the Throwdown. The ThrowDown is a club competition where everyone at the meeting judges the entries and votes for their 3 favorites. The results are then scientifically tabulated and the winners announced and awarded prizes. We have gift certificates from Xtreme Brewing and 5-Star Products for the winning entries. How do you enter? Here are the simple rules:
IMPORTANT: Entry Fee: $5 (does not include $1 meeting donation)
Rules:
1. One entry per household
2. Entries accepted starting at 6:45pm upstairs at Dogfish Head (20 entry maximum, 1st come, 1st entered)
(If you're late or never made it past the bar downstairs - see rule 4...entries stop at 7:15pm)
3. Bring AT LEAST four 12oz. bottles or two 22oz. bombers or one 1/2 gallon growler. Any labels will obliterated.
4. No complaining. No recounts. No alliances. Contest officials accept bribes but they'll do you no good.
In addition to the prize packages for the winning brewers, we will be doing door prizes for everyone in attendance. Xtreme Brewing, Henlopen City Oyster House, The Pickled Pig Pub and 5-Star Products have generously donated some additional goodies for us to giveaway during this event. When you offer your $1 meeting donation, you will be given a raffle ticket which cements your entry into the prize pool.
....And now this from Jason Weissberg at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats
The pub is looking to add some beer inspired sausages to our upcoming menu. We have six different varieties to taste and try before we make a decision on the best flavor combination. Who better to decide on the best tasting sausage but beer lovers and nobody loves beer more than DUH. I would like to invite you all to help us taste and decide which flavor combinations work best. Your feedback is really important. The tasting is of course free and will be happening on Thursday February 21, before your competition. The tasting will be set up and ready to go at 5:30PM until the competition begins. Thank you in advance for your help and look forward to seeing you all Thursday night.
Cheers and Thank you,
Jason

February Meeting Information
Hey Folks,
Just wanted to get this short reminder out to all of the members of the Delmarva United Homebrewers (DUH) about the change-of-date for the February meeting, and information about the 'ThrowDown' that will be taking place at the February meeting.
The February meeting which would normally take place on the 2nd Thursday of the month, has been moved to the 3rd Thursday for February to accommodate all of you sappy romantics that want to celebrate Valentine's Day. What this means is the meeting will not be held on February 14th, but will instead be held on Thursday, February 21st at 7pm at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats. To make up for this inconvenience, we will be hosting the 2nd DUH ThrowDown Competition. What the hell is that? Read on....
The ThrowDown is a club competition where everyone at the meeting judges the entries and votes for their 3 favorites. The results are then scientifically tabulated and the winners announced and awarded prizes. We have gift certificates from Xtreme Brewing and 5-Star Products for the winning entries. How do you enter? Here are the simple rules:

Xtreme Brewing, Henlopen City Oyster House, The Pickled Pig Pub and 5-Star Products have generously donated some additional goodies for us to giveaway during this event. When you offer your $1 meeting donation, you will be given a raffle ticket which cements your entry into the prize pool. Why are we doing all of this? Read on...
The National Homebrewers Conference is taking place in Philadelphia in late June. DUH will be pouring beer at a huge Friday night event called 'Club Night' (catchy name, eh?). We are going to use funds raised from this Throwdown and hopefully another one in May to cover some costs that are going to be incurred during this event. If you are interested in brewing beer for the event, Lori Brown has created this snazzy document to assist us in getting our act together.
The link for DUH's brewing efforts for the NHC Club-night can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aj6Cuknn68JXdDQyLUVpU3A4WjMtR2VtVlVsMDlsSmc&usp=sharingthis
We will be using this spreadsheet to track what beverages everyone is planning to donate for DUH's booth at club night. Anybody with this link can edit, so if you know you're brewing for DUH, please open it up and fill in your info. Please enter the date you expect it to be ready and use one line per beer. Xtreme Brewing has generously donated 20 corny kegs for members to fill with fermented goodies for this conference. If you want to brew a beer for the event and need a keg, contact myself or Jimmy and we'll coordinate a drop-off. If you are coming to any of the regular club meetings between now and May (or whenever we run out of kegs), we can bring them to the meeting as well (including the February meeting). If you are planning to brew for the conference, please be realistic in your abilities to deliver the beer as promised. If you commit to brewing 55 gallons of Russian Imperial Stout - make sure you brew 55 gallons of Imperial Stout :-)
I think that's all for now. Hope to see everyone at the ThrowDown on February 21st. If you have any further questions, or want me to bring any empty kegs to the meeting, just drop me a note.
Cheers,
Terry
