A place to post recipes for those that picked something up at this years homebrew comp.

Hopefully there's some winners willing to share.

APA - 38 points - Silver Medal
Judges had mixed and stangely contradictory feedback on this but they all thought it was to dark for style and might do better as an American Amber.

Well done everyone. Wish I could post a winning recipe up here myself... maybe next year I'll remember to enter!

[Matthew]

Might have to try this. I've heard it's ok ;-)

Woot!

[Stu McKinlay]

Personally I'd prefer the phenolics to be a little more subdued but it is very very drinkable. No plans to brew this one again in the next year or two, so enjoy it while you can if you like it.

[Martin Bridges]

I would, if any made its way north of the Bombays!!

[Stu McKinlay]

Haven't heard if any has but I do believe some is in Chch.

[Barry]

Cheeky sod. Hardly the same thing as north of the bombays is it.

Sam! What the heck! you're _in_ Auckland. Hook a brotha up!

[Steven Driessen]

I'm going to head to Tonic tonight to try some, Dave says it's really good and we have virtually the same palate, so I'm rather excited.
Might even have a go at brewing it :P
I tasted a bottle of PKB next to my Black IPA and they're pretty close (I was chuffed). Yours had a lovely zesty/spiciness that mine lacked.
Mimicry is the highest form of flattery :D

[Stu McKinlay]

I've had positive independent reports on it tasting good at Tonic.

[Reviled]

My Bourbon Porter - entered into Wood Aged Beers and got a silver medal - I reccomend a minimum 3 months ageing for this beer to really shine, as the first 3 months all I could taste was bourbon and there was minimal vanilla character, but after a long ageing time it all balanced together quite nicely...

Comments : Could use more malt, and a bit one dimensional with all the chocolate
