This has been stewing for a bit, and it's been killing me to keep quiet about it. Finally, it's time to share.
I'm organizing a fairly unique, BJCP sanctioned, brewing competition this fall - the 2015 BrewUnited Challenge (link has full details).
In a nutshell, this will be a sort of an "Iron Brewer" type competition. You will be given a list of four grains that you must use - but no others will be allowed. You will be given a list of six hop varieties; pick exactly two. Yeast is a wildcard.
You will then brew a beer that will fall under one of three divisions - Malty beers, Hoppy beers, and Balanced beers. Each division covers five BJCP styles. Each division (judged in a different city) will award winners, and there will be an overall winner, as well.
The idea, of course, is to challenge you, to take you a bit out of your comfort zone. To get you to take unusual steps to make great beer.
Also, if details like this are important to you , we have had superb sponsor response so far - to the tune of better than $2000 worth of prizes being donated as of this posting (including a grand prize of a Chronical 7 gallon fermentor from SS Brew Tech), and more sponsors talking to us.
Anyway, the link above has more details, if you want to check it out. If you have questions, I'm happy to answer them.
Finally, please note that I pre-approved this announcement with Austin.
Thanks!
