Jeff and Kelly Coe hosted the March, 2021 B.A.S.H. meeting on Sunday the 14th at their home in Portland.
El Presidente Jack Heim called the meeting to order, thanked our hosts and welcomed new members Jacob Dunson & Cindy Crye and Parker Brown & Heather Harrill. Treasurer Walt Crawford gave us another thumbs up. Mary Kay Schultz announced the March social at Aerodrome Distillery at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday the 20th. Diehards will have a pint beforehand at nearby Lorelei Brewing. We will conduct the AHA’s Big Brew on Saturday, May 1 at Nueces Brewing. A team led by J.D. Busch will brew the Janet’s Brown Ale and Tim Grace’s crew will brew the Star Gazer Double IPA. Paul Holder will supply the ingredients.
The competition this month was open to any beer style. The declared style for Homebrewer of the Year was Scottish Ale, BJCP category 14 A-C. With two competitors, the winning beer receives two HBOY points (doubled if it is of the declared style), 2nd place receives one HBOY point (doubled if of the declared style), third place and beyond receive no points. Four beers were entered. Judges results were as follows:
1. Chris Ackman – Scottish Export (BJCP 14C) 38.6/50 – 4 HBOY points
2. Wild Bill Lehfeld – “Fat Bastard” Scottish Export (BJCP 14C) 36.7/50 – 2 HBOY points
