Walk The Line On Barleywine 2008 - hosted by Dunedin Brewers Guild of
Dunedin, Florida - competition announcement

The judging is over, and the final results are in - congrats to the Best Of
Show winner Mike Cohen of Tampa Bay BEERS for his top-notch "Mikes Mighty
Ultimator" Doppelbock! Congratulations to all of the winners - the list of
winners is posted on our web site at www.DunedinBrewersGuild.com.

Although this competition is small, it was well attended for judging (just
the right number!), and the entrants were able to get some excellent
feedback on their beers from the high experience level of the judging pool.

Also, because it was a small competition, we were able to hold a Rare and
Vintage Strong Beer tasting for all of the judges, stewards, and staff as a
special Thank You for your participation. (And thanks to KK for hosting the
tasting!)

Thanks also to Tony for allowing us to hold the competition at his Oldsmar
Taphouse (www.OldsmarTaphouse.com), and for being a very gracious host.

Nelson Crowle
Competition Coordinator

Subject: Ultrasonic masher?

An idle thought on a snowy morning: Is there any experience
with the use of ultrasonics - specifically, ultrasonic
cleaners - to gelatinize adjuncts like unmalted oats or
corn? This is presumed to be an alternative to the cereal
mash.
