Stout Competition Rules & Misc Brew Info

SPAM!!! Oh yeah, I am full of it... (in many ways)

I talked to Tony at Pagosa Brewing and for anyone interested in brewing this weekend that does not have all the ingredients necessary, Pagosa Brewing may be able to help. Quoteth the Tony: "We have whole kernel malt for this weekend brews. [Randini - I will have a mill there for crushing them] We've got the whole range of malt we can sell by the lb. Hops are also available.  Will need to check inventory on varieties.  And, we have some dry yeast too."

So contact Pagosa Brewing ASAP if you know what ingredients you are lacking.

Below are the rules for the competition.

Cheers ~

In conjunction with our upcoming Stout & Chops Month in February 2013, we are challenging Stout Lovers to create a homebrewed Stout to help us celebrate.

 

In 2012, we offered 16 different Stouts (8 in-house & 8 guest). The winning homebrewer will have the opportunity to join us and brew a full sized 6bbl batch of their Stout recipe, which will be featured for Stout Month 2013.  The winning brewer will also receive a $50 gift card & bragging rights.

 

RULES:

1)     Entries must be Stouts (no Porters, Black IPAs, Black Lagers, etc.)

2)     Entry must be under 8% ABV.

3)     This is an AHA sanctioned competition & BJCP style guidelines will be used for judging: http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style13.php

4)     Creativity of ingredients is encouraged, but not required.

5)     All entries must be delivered by Friday, 1/4/13 to Pagosa Brewing.

6)     For each entry, three 12 oz. bottles are required.

7)     Entries need to be labeled with names, styles & any necessary info.

8)     Participants cannot have professional brewing experience.

9)     Brewers cannot use our house yeast.

10) All winning recipes will be considered Pagosa Brewing recipes, and at our discretion may (or may not) be brewed by us in the future.
