It seems I recall someone telling me two beers max per head brewer is what they allow.

Don't put anything on the individual bottles, keep the bottles together in a bag/box and include your entry form. Any markings on them will need to be removed/marked out before judging, so please make life easier for the organizer/stewards/judges.

And try to choose bottles with no distinguishing features, and label-free. Don't mark on the caps, and try to use non-discript caps.

None of those are *strict* requirements (ie will get your beer disqualified), but again, will make life easier for everyone involved.

Great thanks...

I used grolsch bottles, due to the extra carb pressure

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 7:04 pm

I'm dropping off Thursday. Just not sure if it's going to be one or two entries.

GuingesRock · Post by **GuingesRock** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 9:57 pm

I'm entering 1 maybe two. Neither brew went according to plan

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 10:13 pm

I'm happy with mine. A bit stronger on the clove flavor than I was expecting but I still enjoy it.

Good luck Keith!

Here's a brewing TV episode where they brew a Weizen the same way that you did (I think). It's really about open fermentation and that's very interesting, but he brews his house weizen with open fermentation and reckons he gets more esters that way.

I didn't ferment this way. Bucket lid snapped on, with an airlock. Only difference would be plastic vs glass.

We're entering two.

It might have been three. The first of the three that we brewed was lower than ideal ABV but it tasted effing fantastic on bottling day; banana-forward with light clove in the background and perfectly hazy... Then I dropped it. 23L of weizen doesn't seem like much weizen in a carboy. It seems like a heck of a lot of weizen when it's flowing all over your kitchen floor.

Happy competing, all!

rofl. I haven't had the luxary of cleaning up 23L of beer off the floor yet.

GuingesRock · Post by **GuingesRock** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 5:42 pm

I hope someone's weizen brew went well so Garrison don't think we're a bunch of halfwits. I found it a challenge to say the least.

Sorry to hear you dropped it

I think you mean "half-weizens"?

I just put "hefe weizen" into Google translate and it came up with "half wit."

:spilly:

I wouldn't mind betting $5 on Keith. He seems quietly confident. Redoubt have been researching like crazy so there's another potential winner.

An then of course there are the experienced weizen brewers ...which is probably what counts.

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 9:09 pm

I have nothing to compare against haha. I put my money on someone else. I'm in it for the feedback.

whisle pig · Post by **whisle pig** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 9:34 pm

The style is tuff get right. I have made 2 and tried them both tonight , one is much better then the other in my opinon. Split a 10gal batch and used 2 different yeast. I know which one I'll be entering if they taste the same out of a bottle

It's the first time I have ever brewed this style.

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 9:37 pm

Derek (Leafman) did you taste my sample I dropped off? How did you find it?

Haven't tried it - was letting it carb up for a bit plan on doing a side by side by side of my single infusion Weizen, my 3 step temperature mash Weizen and yours sometime over the next week or so.
