Malt Mechanics very unofficial home brew competition conical giveaway

[Nicholas Jones]

This one is for the guy who asked for a factory second on our facebook...

My shed is full, my brewery is suitably kitted with the latest MM wares, and it is thus that I propose a ridiculous proposition. There may be scandal, back-handers and blatant flouting of the laws, and of course I, being the sole unqualified judge will surely skew the ledger in favour of whatever I so choose fulfills my somewhat irreverent taste in beer.

I could of course sell them, and pocket a tidy sum, but wherein lies the fun? So fellow brewers I offer up not one, but 5 cone-shaped vessels in various states of operational capability, one of which could be yours all in exchange for the (saison-esque) sweat from your brow, cunningly packaged as 2 single bottles of home-brewed beer. See image attached for the 5 prizes on offer. In descending prize value from left to right, there are 2 pre-loved (clean!) 60L on the left, an unused 30L in the centre, minus take-off holes, an incomplete 30 second from right, and an early 30 I found stashed in my office this arvo. What you see is what is on offer.

The conditions are simple. Send me your beer, and I will drink it, not a mere sip, but likely the whole bottle, or both if its really good... And hence, I will rank accordingly, relying on my beer-hazed memory (this will not be a one-day judging affair) and enthusiasm of the time, and of course whatever notes I may or may not take. There will be no BJCP guidlelines, no impartiality, and no correspondence entered into, unless of course you invoke it.. Labels are fine (lion red bottles may be looked upon favorably as representative of the complexity of your character..), your name may or may not add points, a picture of your wife, your brewery or your boat may also be considered 'value-add'. Excessive yeast for harvesting is also welcome.

Entries close March 25th, or whenever I feel I have enough beer to make up for my recent lack of brewing. Entries can be posted to: Nick Jones, Indemic Ltd, Unit F, Level 2, 31a Bartley Tce, Devonport, Auckland. Should you 'win' something, freight/collect is at your cost. Post below if you intend to enter, look forward to a few laughs! I may even save some entries for a communal gathering of contestants, should I be able to exhibit such self-control...

Congrats Paul! I think it's only fair you send a few bottles to us lower placed guys too to see where the bar is at!
Keen on a certificate too.
