"Them's are the rules..."

Specialty Grains/Adjunts = 25% of the total grain bill ( 1 lb per 5 gallons will be the secret ingredient and part of the 25%)

Iron Brewers 2009 For something more homemade during the down economy, beer lovers are turning to doing it themselves by cracking into the home brewing market. Luckily there are groups out there to help in the effort so people don’t go blind from their brews going a-rye. The Hops Club, Homebrews of Parkland/Spanaway, will be holding a fun members event called The Iron Brewer 2009, where local home brewers will be pitted against each other to come up with a brew recipe on the spot, after given a selection of secret ingredients in the spirit of the Iron Chef television show. While the event is currently for members only, people are always welcome to become members or otherwise take an interest in the craft. The free event will be held inside The Beer Essentials, 2624 112th St. #E-1 in Lakewood, and will be a great time to learn about the art of beer making. The beer will be brewed and then judged once it is finished fermenting.
