Home Brew Competition - October 17

[jceg316]

Really pleased to come first and second, I'll post my recipes soon.

I should mention that whilst entrants can enter as many beers as they want, only one beer per person can enter the competition. As the person who wrote the rules to the competition, I should probably point that out. :lol:

Thank you @Hoddy for judging the competition and thank you @Dads_Ale for the prize.

You are really quite right. In my hungover/tired state of getting the results out I didn’t spot that.

So I think the revised order should be :

1st - @jceg316 - drunk monk
2nd - @leon103 - vanilla porter
Joint 3rd
@stigman - don’t be afraid of the dark
@doctormick - the kernel export India Porter

I think that’s it resolved now?

Here are the recipes for both my brews, if a mod could copy them over to the winners' recipe thread that would be great.

Drunk Monk Dopplebock

This was from a recipe book originally however it wanted quite a lot of ingredients which I couldn't get hold of easily, so I subbed some and made some changed to suit my system.

OG: 1.080
FG: 1.020
ABV: 8%
Efficiency: 79%

Batch size: 25L
Boil size: 30L
IBU: 30

Fermentables
Pale malt 4.54kg
carapils 910g
Munich 910g
Medium crystal 450g
Chocolate 230g

These have ad about 8 months in the bottle but hardly any conditioning time in the FV. If I were to do this differently I'd have 6 months conditioning time in secondary.

It will have a really minty smell and taste but this evens out after a couple of weeks.

Well done to you for the joint third. That was a really good impy Stout.

I think we need you and @doctormick to upload your recipes? I’m sure a mod will correct me if I’m wrong.

Homebrew gone wrong. No we have had a strong smell of fuel in our kitchen for 24 hours. Ripped the place apart trying to find the source. Smell was getting worse so decided to ring non emergency number to be sure and they came out straight away fair play. Believe it could be my oil boiler but I am not convincrd

Thanks Hod for doing this. It's always good to get feedback.

 

[Leon103]

Here is my recipe

Yeast - re-pitched Fermentums Heathery Heights yeast that I used in an English IPA.

I added 30ml of Vanilla flavourings prior to bottling.
