None other than the amazing, Jim Spaulding, has offered his insights and genius to us plebeians. Sit up, and listen up, as this vetran homebrewer walks us along on his totally insane path of homebrew dominance and the knowledge it takes to be a “homebrewery” in the fullest sense of the accomplishment. We all know this guy as “Jim” but he is more than a great great guy to talk to at a beer meeting he is also a wealth of information on top of possibly being one of the nicest guys to ever bike ride to a homebrewers meeting.
- Incite into Caramelizing Wort Runoff: In a nut shell: The process involves drawing off and caramelizing 10 to 15% of the initial high gravity wort from your mash tun, then adding this thick caramelized syrup back to the brew kettle late in the boil, followed by topping up the lost water with prepared brewing water (leftover sparge water). The thinking is that this adds a depth of caramel or toffee-like flavor to a brew that can be achieved no other way.
- George Will: The Washington Post: Often the most pure available fluid was beer – in beer and later , wine – which has antibacterial properties.

Meeting Recap:
We had some amazing beers in the meeting this month. As much as I tried to catch it all, I know I fell short. I didnt sample all the beers, nor did I catch all the conversation on the beers, but that is not in the style of OTMP. We will always be distracted by each other and by beer. We are here for the good times, the great oldies, and the camaraderie knowing that there are other apes out there so god damn driven in the pursuit of brewing amazing beer.
Beers:
- Charles – American Stout – brewed with whole nugget
- Chris – was drinking some Cider that was aged on oak
- Aaron – NZ Cream Ale (Is this a fucking style?)
- Charles – Session Hazy – 5% brewed on London III
- Sam – Amber – Used Red X malt – This was continued into a discussion about Red Malts and their coloring
- Sam – IPL – brewed on 30/70
- Robin – IPA
- Evan – Milk Stout
- Jeff A. – Russian Imperial Stout
