November Competition - Lagers, Pseudo-Lagers and Hybrids

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I have a lager in the fermenter until Saturday.

Just to clarify, I was only joking I've actually sent a very conformist pilsner.

Disappointed.

 

[Pennine]

I was tempted to send my hoppy pilsner. Maybe next time.

Oh bollocks, i've completely forgotten about this, are you still planning on judging next weekend?

Yep, probably spread it across Friday and Saturday so you’ve got a week to get your entry in.

 

[pilgrimhudd]

I'll try and get it in the post tomorrow.

Hi Mick,

Would you like to PM me your address.

I pulled a Czech Pilsner from the fermenter over the weekend. It clearly won’t be a contender at just 1 week old when you try it but I wouldn’t mind some feedback if you’re game

If it’s still hazy next Saturday and you don’t fancy it you can leave it in the fridge and give me some feedback at another time.

I received 3 today - @strange-steve @xozzx and a festbeer which was packaged alongside an imperial stout for which there is no username details (Ipswich postcode I think).

 

[Pennine]

That's mine sorry, enjoy!

 

[Pennine]

Also like Steve I am entering the imperial stout pseudo lager in the competition and not the festbier, if that's allowed of course.

I thought it was a bribe!

That’s good, thanks for letting us know. The bottles I have here have cleared so you may be in with a chance if you chill it right away and leave it until last to judge. Maximum clearing and conditioning time - every little helps!

Here’s the line up. From left to right:
@strange-steve German Pils
@xozzx Vienna Lager
@Broken Toe Red Rye Lager
@Pennine Festbier
@Markk German Lager
@pilgrimhudd Dark Lager and Cal Common
@Hazelwood Brewery Czech Pils

I’m splitting them 4 tonight and 4 tomorrow (or maybe 3and 3 then 2 Sunday since Hazelwood has concerns about his being ready yet and I also want to watch the new Shane McGowan documentary at some point over the weekend)

 

[strange-steve]

Nice, you have your own mini Oktoberfest this weekend
