Home of the BrewNosers

I've been meaning to post this last week but haven't had much of a chance. I'm hosting the 2nd annual HRB homebrew comp and it's open to everyone in the Maritimes. The style is a Strong Scotch Ale (Wee Heavy). Hoping to see a good Brewnoser showing!

More details here.

want to brew for this...sounds fun...not sure I'll have a chance to brew for this tho...gotta brew Christmas beer first

I'll be brewing for this. Going to do a small 1 gal biab batch on the stove.

never thought of 1gal batch...damn you're some smart Keith...I don't care what anyone says

Haha. I see how it is now.

lol...tbh I didn't even think about a 1gal batch...working on a recipe now

haha. I hear ya. Apparently the gloves tend to come off during the local comps.
I have no idea what I'll ferment this in. I'm thinking a growler should be suffice.

Too late notice to participate this time around, personally. Too bad, I wanted a redo after my winter spice fiasco.

I was thinking of pulling a guinges and fermenting right in the pot lol.

Yeah if you need a 1 gal I've got 4 right now

all brewed up....just chilling now

You didn't waste anytime on that haha

I have no time to waste...this beer will need every day it can get

I have a one gallon bucket with airlock and bung I could loan you if you want more headroom than a jug Keith. Everwood has them now, I think their total capacity is 6 litres or so.

anyone else sending to this? Maybe coordinate a mule from Halifax?

Wrong comp, sorry.

Having said that, I'll be driving through Fredericton Dec 14, so could drop stuff at a friendly spot there at that time. That's probably too early for most, tho.

My schedule may have me closer to SJ in January.

That was my cunning plan to get you to step up to this one too

That's an advanced technique Keith, not for the faint hearted. First, it is necessary to lift the lid off the pot, then you have to throw in yeast, and the final part of the process is to replace the lid. Good luck with it. I'll be on standby in case there are any questions.

I tried it once...forgot to lift lid before throwing in the yeast...beer turned out horrible

Haha

Had some equipment malfunctions and didn't want to put off my brew any longer so I mashed in a fermenter
