SUMMARY:23 Rock Club Competition - Wort Pick Up
DESCRIPTION:<p>Jim Stinson mentioned at our January meeting that the Rockyard will be brewing a Double Red on <span style=\\"text-decoration\: line-through\;\\">January 20</span> January 22.

 <p>This will be a competition among club members to brew a beer using this wort as a base that conforms to BJCP's <a href=\\"http\://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style23.php\\" target=\\"_blank\\">Category 23\: Specialty Beer</a> - so creativity is a must!</p>
