It’s time again for the ANHC Homebrew Competition. This year’s conference theme is centred around the four ingredients: Water, Malt, Hops and Yeast.
But what’s the fifth ingredient? The fifth ingredient is YOU.
Homebrewers live on the bleeding edge. We’re Martin Brewther pasting our recipes to the church doors of convention. We’re Christopher Columbeer in a world of flat beer obsessives. We’re Isaac Brewton as the cider apple drops on our head. We’re the BIABers and No Chillers in a three vessel world. By all accounts, we INVENTED American Brown Ale…but we can do better. This year, the fifth ingredient is truly YOU.
Send us your best alternative beer recipe and your beer could be served up in front of the keenest amateur and professional brewers from around the country and around the world.
We’re still ironing out some of the finer details, but we wanted to give you as much notice as possible...
What's up for grabs?
If your beer is chosen by our judging panel, you'll receive a swathe of benefits:

What's up for grabs?
If your beer is chosen by our judging panel, you'll receive a swathe of benefits:
- We'll feature your story on the ANHC blog;
- You'll be funded to rebrew the beer;
- You're beer will feature in a breakout session at the conference; and
- You'll receive a ticket to the conference day sessions and club night.
- Brew a beer that’s based in tradition, but steps away through the use of your own unique ingredients – fruit – spices – thrash metal – tears of a virgin puppy – whatever works for you and speaks to you as a brewer.
- Base the beer in a BJCP style. We need a baseline from which to judge your beer. Beers will be judged as specialties, and with a weighting towards the impact of the magic fifth ingredient, rather than the BJCP guidelines.
- Be prepared to tell a story about the beer – what does this special ingredient mean to you? Why is this beer the next level for homebrewing? How much does your better half love beer since you added *insert outlandish ingredient here*?
- Your entries must be received in Canberra by midday, Saturday June 14, 2014. If you’re posting from interstate, this means it needs to arrive by Friday June 13. Why not get together with your club and send a group package?
