West Coast Brewers: Iron Brewer 2007

[sinkas]

Could one of the grand wizards of the WCB, post up the basic ingredients being used for this so I can waste some time thinking about some beer to brew for this thing...?

Could one of the grand wizards of the WCB, post up the basic ingredients being used for this so I can waste some time thinking about some beer to brew for this thing...?

Not sure about a grand wizard but as one of the elves under the stairs I have heard that all will be revealed at the next meeting West Coast Brewers club meeting on Monday 13 August 2007. The details are being fine tuned to ensure everyone can be as creative as possible without being forced in 1 direction only
Judging is to be scheduled for the December club meeting, we may also if we try hard enough be able to round up a couple of judges from the local micro's. Of course it will also depend how well they can do a Japanese accent as they judge.

All I can say at the moment is that there will be two categories:
Iron Brewer AG
Iron Brewer extract

The following will be supplied to each financial club member who wishes to enter:
A control yeast
Two or three control hops
Base malt (you know the one) or for extract either a can of LME or some DME.
A specialty grain
And maybe just for fun some adjuncts
Instruction's will be provided on how much of each ingredient must be used

Ingredient packs will be made available at the next meeting as well, which means everyone is going to have to pitch in and help on the night to divvy things up.

We already have some of the ingredients, but will have to buy some so I have started some lists below for each category if you plan on entering then please quote this post and add your name/nickname to either list.

Cheers

The competition elve

If brett is part of your chosen BJCP style then yes, but not sure where you'll get it as it wont be part of the ingredient pack unless BigAl lends you some

4 randyrob (how much of this brew are you allowed to taste test?)

Plan on having 4x 750ml saved for entry as if we don't get guest judges on the night then we will try and get some beers to them for tasting.

... where would partials fit into the mix? Extract?

Probably extract, how big a partial are you doing at the moment?

My partials usually actually work out to around about 60-70% grain ... usually closer to 70%

Can one of you nerds add my name, it won't work for me.

If room exists for one more and PET bottles are acceptable for the submission (its a long story) I would love to have a crack. I have only just set-up AG (thanks Doogiechap and RandyRob for help) and this would be an ideal way to compare how I am tracking against the profs.

On a seperate matter (again a long story), if anyone is looking for some sticks of agar to culture yeast on slants, I have three packs (two sticks per pack) to give away that I can bring to the next meeting.

The original 10 number was just to start with and to try and get an Idea for ingredient numbers, if you are a Financial club member of West Coast Brewers then you may enter. As I don't know everyones nicknames I will also put out a club email that you can RSVP on by the end of this week.

PS obviously this is going to cost the club some $$ to put on for everyone, if you commit but don't end brewing or entering anything then please be prepared to throw in some $$ for the ingredients you scored!

Cheers

I think I might have to roll up to the August meet.

No extract brewers? Perhaps I'll have a crack myself! Long time since I've done one of those...

Good to see, plus I don't think the club could afford to supply enough ingredients to fill the mash tun of your "home brew system" if you chose to enter the AG category

Just let me know when you want the stuff sent down!
