Upcoming Competition 27-08-11: Monks Habbit Clone.

[JoKing]

Righty O.

 

So this has come up really fast.

 

If anyone (who hasn't already) wants to get some of the ingredients for this brew - and haven't been able to find the necessary hops - I might be able to help out.

 

You see - Monks Habbit is one of my all time favourites... and I came really close to cloning it a couple times. I never nailed the malt - but I'm confident that I got those hops pretty bang on.

 

So anyhow, two of the varieties in my clone isn't widely available. So - for you, I'm going to dig into my own personal stash and offer you's a hookup with some 2011 harvest Riwaka, and some 2010 Amarillo. Going cheap too - I won;t hike the prices up just because of availability (or lack theirof).

 

So flick me an email on [e-mail] and let me know that you are doing the Monks clone. Let me know how much of each you want and I'll hook you up.

 

Good luck - and happy brewing.

 

Joe.

Best to make an appearance around 3.30. Judging kicks off smartly at 4pm.

[Andrew]

So who took out the crown? And whats up next? I,m missed this one with a bout of man-flu and general lazyiness.

[Barry]

Haish first, unsure who got silver, Paul came in third. Next beer: New Zealand Pale Ale.

 

[vdog]

"unsure who got silver" - I think Vince took out second place.

 

Looking forward to the next one, hopefully we'll get a few more entries given it's a style that lots of us will have favourite or 'house' recipes for.

[Reviled]

So glad I wont be working saturdays as of next month, will be able to start attending these events again, and hopefully even win ;o)

I was utterly gutted to miss this one. I love the WBCs, even when in this case, my beer would have been good for comments, but no chance of winning. It's honestly one of my favourite beer events. Stupid bug. :( Looking forward to the next one, even though I don't really have a good recipe. I must be the only brewer who DOESN'T do a NZ pale ale!
