For those who don't follow BOTY, G-Rock just got another 7 medals and three honorable mentions at the National Homebrew Competition, which by his count, puts him tied for second overall for BOTY. Even though he's not on the forum, he does Brewnosers as his club.

Thanks Chris! But what ever happened to the other Brewnosers and competitions? There was a huge effort for the Brewnosers' competition (both by the people who put on the competition and the competitors) and many Brewnoser awards were one that day. I thought we were on a roll. I still think we can make it to #4 as a club this year, maybe #3 (currently #5). Could use some help though.

There's 4 competitions left this year in the BOTY circuit: http://www.breweroftheyear.com/competitions/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks Keith, I broke the tie this morning and now have 89 points, ahead of #3 (last year's champ) by seven points. The Brewnosers' club is edging up on #4 also with 114 points now.

I imagine there will be plenty of Brewnosers in the Big Spruce competition.

Yes that's a nice competition. Not on BOTY though :( I'm in the process of making a RIPA and an Alt. RIPA on the go last week (below, quite red) and prepping for the Alt tomorrow. I like those guys and our judges, and very happy to have the opportunity to compete locally.

Also, I really like the idea of a Red IPA. It's one of the new BJCP styles that really appealed to me.

Keith, I used some Carastan, bit of C80 and a touch of roasted barley, along with lots of Munich 11. Had to use crystal in order to get the red colour :(

Any way, that C40 causing oxidation might be nonsense. Wasn't it you that came up with that any way :) my memory is terrible.

Bugger it! with that kind of imagination and innovation I don't stand a chance. You'll win and I shouldn't have bothered. I think you might win any way ...even if you can't find a brewer to sacrifice, just because you are making it without crystal :)
