Beer Deluxe - Homebrew Comp

[Black n Tan]

well, good luck Grant! I'll be sure to avail myself to a few pints if ya win mate! Do you know what sort of system you'd be brewing on if you take it out?

maybe I should be saying "break a leg"... or would it be apt in a brewers case to say "break a wrist" ?

You get to brew the beer on the new pilot system at Stone & Wood. Other than that no idea.

I got a call after the event saying that my entry in Brewer's Choice category (a Hefeweizen) actually came 4th, but they made a mistake and didn't call it out on the night. (they're sending me out an Honourable Mention certificate and prize out to me, so now harm done).

All in all it was a good comp to enter - although the low scores were a bit brutal and faults were picked up that my untrained palette struggles to detect. I didn't get any first places, but won $200 of bar tab vouchers. A tidy sum not to be sneezed at.


Edit: Scores are out of 160.

Hey B&T, Care to share what was New World about your kolsch? New world hops?

 

[Yob]

Ha.. Yeah mate.. Do tell

Hey B&T, Care to share what was New World about your kolsch? New world hops?

No problem. Typically i use Tettnang in a Kolsch, but with everyone's love of new world hops I decided to use Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin and Helga. A bit more hop presence than a traditional Kolsch, but not completely over the top. A Kolsch seems to be a bit of the crowd pleaser: I have never had anyone turn up their nose.

Anyways it would be good to have a few AHB-ers there this Sunday 3.00pm at Beer Deluxe Fed Square. $10 and you get to try all 12 finalists and vote.

I'd bloody love to mate, but it's homebrewer to pro brewer on Monday and I'd be eating a fair amount of glass with 2 leave passes in a row.

Best of luck though mate.
