Brew Con World Series V

[Hazelwood Brewery]

It was essentially the Courage Best recipe from the Wheeler book.... not a patch on the way it used to come up at The Ship though

Well done Dan, great job!

PS Are you bringing it to homebrew club?

Congrats to @dan125 and @Deadhead for a great result.

 

[Leon103]

Not as impressive as most. But I managed a cheeky third in category

Well done, what category?

 

[YeastFace]

@dan125 Which Ship was it though?

Experimental, it was actually a derivative of the one I sent out to Hoddy for last month's HBF comp.

In Dartford
The same landlady still owns and runs it today I believe

I have always wondered what beers get entered into the experimental category

In my case, a beer in knew would score badly in pretty much any other category.

 

[Broken Toe]

I also put in a brett'ed rauch. Which I now suspect would have done badly in every category

I salute your experimentation! I’ve always played it safe, but I joined my local Homebrew club a few months back and they’ve got me thinking a lot more outside my comfort zone.

Since a mad idea got me a medal at gbbf over the summer, I've just commited to full nonsense behaviour to see where it lands me...

You might have just persuaded me to keep my Percy Pig sour for after Christmas for the Scottish Craft Brewers comp.

Although it does sound, to me, like the perfect Christmas beer for someone who doesn’t particularly like big, dark beers!

I’ve done a fair bit of reading up on it and it should work. There’s a small batch recipe for a Percy Hefeweizen floating about online, and a Fife nano brewery did a Percy Pale, but I think it would be perfect for the fruity “modern sour” craze.

Apparently the sweets just melt to nothing when boiled so I was thinking 3-4 bags in the boil, and 2 bottles of Percy smoothie in secondary so that it actually has some real fruit in it too.

 

[Broken Toe]

That actually sounds like an really great shout! I'd be really interested in how that turns out.

Does anyone know if we get a feedback/judging sheet back from this competition?

 

[Deadhead]

We should do, but they said on their Facebook page it would take a few weeks to get everything uploaded

If they are doing it by table number my witbier should be one of the first scores up because wheats was table 1.

There were nearly 400 entries so it’ll take them quite a while to scan them all in, especially as the organisers were doing it all in their spare time.

 

[Broken Toe]

Doesn't bode well for my table then...

 

[Deadhead]

I had one in fruits/experimental beers and that’s the last table. And this is the one I really would like the feedback on!
