2016 Hurricane Blowoff Homebrew Competition
This year we are taking a hiatus after our 20th anniversary to reconfigure and restructure. We are already planning for 2017 and look forward to your entries!
Intra-club Homebrewing Competition
For 2016, we will be holding several intra-club home brewing competitions. Each competition will focus on one style and will use a single standard recipe.
The beer style for our first competition will be Kolsch. The recipe that we will be using is the clone recipe for Long Trail Brewing Company’s Long Trail Kolsch taken from the North American Clone Brews book. The recipe contains all grain, partial mash and all extract instructions so that brewers from all levels can participate. The recipe lists a couple of yeast options which are all fine to use. We have also secured a good amount of yeast slurry from Tequesta Brewing from their Der Chancellor Kolsch. If you would like to use that yeast, please let me know so that we can get some to you.
Judging for this competition will be held at our March meeting which will be Saturday, March 12, 2016 at Twisted Trunk Brewing. Each competition entry will require three 12 oz. bottles however, all entrants are encouraged to bring extra so that all in attendance can try your delicious brew. Prizes and undying adulation will be heaped on the winner. You must however, be a paid club member for 2016 to participate.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, just let us know.
