2010 ASH Oktoberfest Comp - Brew at DFH Qualifier 10/16

The 2010 ASH Oktoberfest Competition is October 16th. Entries will be due by Thursday October 14th.


Competition fees are $8 per entry. From your entry fee, a $2 donation will be made to The Beer for Brains Foundation founded by Louis Dolgoff of Dogfish Head. The Arizona Brewers Guild will also match a portion of the entries up to $500.


A medal at Octoberfest qualifies your entry into the 2011 Papago/ Dogfish Head Off Centered Experience Pro-Am.

The winning Papago Pro AM brewer will have the opportunity to brew at the Dogfish Head Brewpub at Rehoboth Beach or locally here in Arizona and attend the GABF with a coveted Brewer’s Pass.

Medal winners will be informed as to where entries for the Papago/ Dogfish Head Off Centered Experience Pro-Am are to be sent. To be eligible for the Pro-Am, entrants must be an American Homebrewers Association member before submitting their entry to the ASH Oktoberfest Homebrew Competition.

Ping. Chance to brew a beer at Dogfish Head... or do you have better things to do?

Just to clarify, this competition is for all categories, not just Oktoberfest. Correct?

ASH Oktoberfest is an open category bjcp competition.

The medal winning entries from this comp will be the pool with which the GABF 2011 Papago Brewing / Dogfish Head winner will be selected.

This process is separate from the Oktoberfest Best of Show.

Long story short is that you have to medal in this comp to have any chance at the DHF one.

And do we get our score cards mailed back to us? I think i could send in a couple of entry's.

Yes you get your bjcp score back. The DFH thing is some secret process involving the ownership of Papago and representatives for DFH.

Have the scores & feedback sheets been mailed back yet?

Sorry, Yes.

Sheets changed hands once and have been re-located. By now they should be in the mail. DM me if you don't see them in a week or so.

Got them. Good feedback and glad I can read them.

Thanks!

Really sorry that this took so long. I will make sure that that doesn't happen again.

Sorry I didn't mean for it to come across like that. My last few score sheets have been almost Illegible and offered no real feedback.

Feedback was clear and constructive. Way better than Well done good beer. 36/50 or 19/50 with Nice try. I have received from NHC and Sam Adams.

ASH2010: Nice balance of chili with base beer, but too much heat. Back off on chili additions. Heat too powerful. Hazy with little to no head retention but good carbonation level.

As an out-of-state entrant, you should have gotten your sheets back within a week. Often, we spend too much time on the front-end of these things and not time on the back-end. That's not how we want to run our next comp.
