CBC/Meantime/The Malt Miller British IPA Competition

[YeastFace]

https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/meantime-x-cbc-modern-british-ipa-competition/
£6 fee gets you entry, a can of Now IPA, 100g of Olicana, & a TMM Tankard. Well worth it!

Brief is an all-British ingredient IPA using the Olicana supplied.

Opens Friday 14th and entries are needed end of November.

Prizes are pretty amazing.

I watched the YouTube video about the creation of the beer between Meantime and the Craft Beer Channel it is really good watching.

Looks good. A shame they won’t provide any feedback for non winning entries though.

 

[Agentgonzo]

That seems like a good deal for £6 even without entering any beer!

 

[Stu's Brews]

I'm definitely in for this. Already got a recipe planned out for it so now just waiting for entries to open.

 

[Nottsbeer]

Interesting competition. I may be tempted, some good prizes only issue will be remembering to enter on the 14th

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Sounds great! Am really into experimenting with English hops so I might get on this one!

 

[NormanHurst]

I've just opened a 2021 Fullers Vintage Ale that is hopped (partly) with Olicana. It's excellent. Maybe a strong, crystal-heavy, traditional ale could be a good way to go in this competition.

The Fullers is liquid toffee and marmalade. Almost like a good Tawny Port.

Just been to register for this....until I saw the postage fees!! Suddenly what looked like a good deal was going to cost over double (I think it was £13.20). Good luck anyone who decides to go for it.

 

[Twogunrocky]

Saw that coming a mile away

I think lots it’s worth taking the offer and brewing it but then unless you think you have nailed it and got a chance of a top three spot I can’t se the point of sending it in given the costs and the fact you will get no feedback.

And even if you are really happy with your brew and send it in with high expectations how disappointing
to miss out and get no fed back?

I got one too, wasn’t impressed with the beer but I’m just not into hoppy beers right now. I didn’t find it tasted very nice, didn’t finish it. Probably won’t enter the comp but I do like the mug!

 

[stripeyjoe]

Just dry hopped my entry this morning, will be racking on Weds or Thursday leaving a good couple of weeks for bottle conditioning before sending in.

I was buying some items from MM so thought I’d have a go as have a recipe in mind but also wasn’t a lover of the beer and wonder what a judge or experienced brewer thought of it.

 

[Stu's Brews]

I'm going to be brewing my entry tomorrow.

I quite liked the Now IPA beer but there's definitely a lot of heavy lifting being done by the Chevallier malt though which may not be to everyone's taste.

Only planning on using a small amount of Chevallier in mine to see if it provides a background note of orange marmalade without drowning out the hop flavours.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Brewed mine today, didn’t use Chevalier in mine, added a touch of chocolate though. I liked the beer once it warmed up a bit. Wasn’t impressed with the mug the join on it is pretty poor.

 

[Andyroo Brew]

I agree. Mine was too cold as I was too impatient to wait! Brewing mine tomorrow….
