2004-2013 NHC Gold Medal Recipes

[rdkopp0153]

Here are the 2004-2013 NHC Gold Medal winning recipes indexed by BJCP subcategory. For me it's a good baseline for recipe formulation, kind of like a modern day Designing Great Beers. A great way to get to know a style. Click on the links to take you to the AHA page recipes.
Enjoy!

Nice!

 

[MedicMang]

Sweet. Thanks.

 

[rdkopp0153]

I'll keep adding to it every year that the NHC Gold medal recipes come out.

 

[NervousDad]

Great job, thanks for posting.

Very nice! I keep hoping Daniels updates Designing Great Beers, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

 

[rdkopp0153]

Yeah, an updated version with newer medal winning recipe stats and inclusion of newer hops, grains, processes, etc would be awesome! Until then, you can kind of get that from looking at all these recipes, seeing similarities in mash temps, fermentation times, hop additions, yeast, etc.

I'm also working on a map of where NHC medal beers are coming from. It could be used as an aide to which region you would prefer to submit your beers with the stiffest or weakest competition. Stay tuned!

I just saw the that 2014 NHC Gold Medal recipes were released in Zymurgy! I'll get them added to my indexed list as soon as they are on the AHA website.

 

[rdkopp0153]

I got tired of waiting for the AHA to post the recipes online, so I hand entered the 2014 recipes straight out of Zymurgy magazine. Enjoy!

Thanks for updating and posting. I've referenced your site before but didn't keep the link. Much easier than flipping through all my back issues!

 

[rdkopp0153]

No problem, glad it's getting some use! I still use it as a way to develop most of my recipes too.

 

[rdkopp0153]

And if anyone notices any potential transcription errors in the 2014 recipes please let me know and I will make the edits.

 

[rdkopp0153]

Updated with 2015 recipes.

Sheeish! Do they mean to tell us that the 2011 gold medal Cream Ale was a Two Row/Willamette SMASH?

 

[Trillium]

Bumping this as it is an excellent resource.

Thank you for this.

I found this site earlier this year. Personally when i got into all grain i tried a bunch of smashs to get used to the ingredients. Some half good beer but it was a waste of time.

Go for recipes like these and take it from there!

Looks like someone did a bunch of work with the Gold Medal Recipes:

"NHC Gold Medal Winning Recipe Breakdown 2004-2014
"[reddit poster] spent the past few weeks compiling all of the gold medal winning recipes that are posted on the AHA website from 2004-2014. I put them in a spreadsheet and calculated the recipes based on percentage of grains, hops used, OG, FG, mash temp and yeast used."

https://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewin...gold_medal_winning_recipe_breakdown_20042014/

A (hopefully) temporary fix for the broken links in "NHC GOLD MEDAL HOMEBREW RECIPES...", can be found here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/favorite-recipe-websites-blogs.666043/#post-8633270 .
