I believe the wort will be Bohemian Premium. (correct me if I am wrong)

If you need to buy buckets and lids they are $10.

The Website update discussion has continued.

Special releases at Homebrew festival.
If you want to brew a beer for a special release you are still able to do so.
This discussion is based on having a “Beer of the Year” from the highest scoring beer for the year from the quarterly club competitions. The time frame in question is the time we have been The Cedar Rapids Brewing Society. I have looked up results that have been posted in the forum, but I do not have scores available.
If you have won a club quarterly competition, and still have your score sheets, a link will be posted for you to enter your scores. From these scores a “Beer of the Year” can be named. Hopefully you will brew it as a special release at the festival.
