Chinook is ok - i think....or use a cascade derivitive/family hop.

Hellatae, Saaz is good etc.

I think they might still be working the hops out but definitley no Cascade - pity.

I am in...i will be entering my first All Grain beer...

Nothing like going in the deep end and sinking....

 

[Batz]

nothing lost....nothing gained

Or grained ?

I'll be giving it a go with a mini-mash. I just have to do some calculations to make sure I hit my efficiencies and gravity right.

Snow, conditions of entry say it has to be an AG beer. No PM's no extract.
It is to judge the brewers skill.

Just do an AG half batch if you are not setup for a full batch...

 

[Snow]

yeah I said mini mash, not partial mash. No extract involved.

- Snow.

I just entered a beer of similar description (an english ordinary bitter) in a comp here in WA. At the time I made it I thought "what the hell am I going to do with 25 litres of midstrength!" .... I'm not a big fan of english ales but love american examples (cascade++)

But after having it on tap for a few months I've come quite attached to it as have some of my friends. So Ill be brewing another to coincide with this comp.
sometimes it takes things like this to make you brew something different..... widen your horizon....

Asher for now

 

[Batz]

I always brewed lagers , but have been getting into ales of late and reaaly enjoying them
Also taking a liking to the english styles

 

[Murray]

Don't worry Snow, I knew what you meant.

Lovely, hope it goes well Snow.

[JasonY]

Well I'll have a go too, can't hurt another excuse to brew some beer.

 

[johnno]

good luck to everyone that enters this.
Is this a wooden paddle?? If so maybe the winner can stir their brew with it and in a few years or so it can be like the vikings "magic stick"

:lol: :lol:

 

[Linz]

TDA,

Not tripping over the "Cake" covering the "Hole" are we?????



Just for fun, not sides

 

[pioneergangsta]

Well, hopefully i'll get my AG setup done.

I'm thinking of entering my first AG brew,

it would be good to get some feedback on it.

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

Brewed my entry for this comp today! It happened between mowing the lawns so if the judges say there is a grassy flavour I will know why .
