Philadelphia Area - 93.3 WMMR Preston & Steve's Home Brew Contest

. . . but she does know than "an e-mail will be going out about it tomorrow".

Guess I'm the only one who didn't get it. :cross:


Not sure if this tale should be called a comedy or a tragedy?

 

[ljbrisson]

I didn't get one either.

I think the moral of the story is "just brew your recipe, that way at least you have beer".

Oh yeah and Triumph doesn't know what they're doing.

 

[Laikacosmonaut]

Sirry Triumph...

I ended up brewing my Saison for the Lansdale Beer Festival keg competition instead, anyway. Sorry if I sucked anyone into this crapshoot of a competition. It sounded great in theory...if they fine tune things, I think the premise they had would be great.

Slainte, Prost, and...oh just get drunk and be merry...

P&S are quite the funny guys, never know...

 

[AnOldUR]

Well . . . It's on!

[Laikacosmonaut]

Yeah, I just got it...

I foolishly used 3724 to ferment out my Saison, so it may not be done in time anyway... that damn yeast is lazy as sin, and the mild Spring weather isn't helping much.

Also, I don't know if it would qualify, considering I did a small sour mash to give it a little lactic bite... Damn stringent guidelines.

Yipes, last time I uses 3724 it took nearly 8 weeks at 85-90 degrees to finish!

Don't have anything else you can enter?

All my carboys are full, currently... Apfelwine, Flander's Red, pLambic, all no-no's.... I have an imperial breakfast stout, but it's been aging on oak for a few months (against guidelines!) and another RIS but that is green as hell (less than 2 weeks old, 1.100 OG)... I have a vienna lager on tap, a Oktoberfest lagering since April, and a Pumpkin Spice Nut Brown which I just hooked up to gas while aging... which is probably the only one that I could use, but it may still be a little green (~1mo old)...

Does anyone know if the beer we submit HAS to be from the recipe we entered?

I've brewed quite a bit in the past few weeks (including the recipe I entered), and if I have a choice I'd like to submit the best beer I've brewed.

Don't quote me, but I don't think they even kept the originals--just our e-mails. Haha.

Damn! Wish I had that problem. :cross:

Q - Can we bring an entry other than the one we registered with?
A - Yes, but only one per person.

The First ANAL Preston and Steve Homebrew Competition.

Triumph is a joke... Can't you get someone to at least spell correctly?
Piss Poor Management.

 

[AnOldUR]

You can't look at this like you would a BJCP competition.
My guess, mob rules will be in effect.

It will take a good beer to win,
but don't expect the best beer to get to the top.

I look at this as a fun day in the city,
A chance to share beers and conversation with like minded people
. . . and someone will come home with $500.

Thanks to P&S and Triumph!

... I ended up brewing my Saison for the Lansdale Beer Festival keg competition instead, anyway.

Have any details on that? I went last year & was planning to go again this year, but I hadn't seen or heard anything about them doing a competition...

Are we talking about this one? lansdalebeerfest.com ? on Saturday June 25th?

I didn't see anything on the website about homebrew.

 

[rswilson411]

XXguy,

It's a keg only competition. The details can be found here...

[XXguy]

Thanks! sorry for the threadjack....

We now return you to Preston & Steve.

The First ANAL Preston and Steve Homebrew Competition.

Hmmm, maybe I should name my entry the Santorum then! Nothing more appetizing than a tall, frothy mug of Santorum on a warm summer's day. :cross:

 

[AnOldUR]

It's getting close.
Who's still in?
What are you bringing?

 

[VonMessa]

It appears that things are going exactly as expected

Yet another pooch screwing moment by Triumph :rockin:

Public opinion will decide?

A few blocks from my house?

See you there

 

[Pennsyltucky]

@VonMessa... saw that pic of the basement and knew you were local... I live in Ambler (and unfortunately have a more spartan cellar)

@AnOldUR... since you seem a bit vested in this you should forward the thread to their attention so the "2nd annual" can be better, the contest has a lot of potential.

By the way... anyone local going to the keg only comp. or any other SE PA events... be sure to check out Free Will Brewing (shameless plug for a bud, but it's good stuff)

LOL, that stack is all but gone, now. Waiting for the next group buy to fill. I've got another 10 sacks coming :rockin:

I will be @ the Lansdale Beer fest. I can walk there, even while carrying a keg.

This contest was so poorly planned and I made other plans for my vacation after 3 weeks went by with no word. Thought I didn't make it. Guess I was wrong. Preston and Casey are judging, I think I'll save my beer for some real contests and not waste it on this poorly executed debacle. I hope next year will be better, I was looking forward to it and thought I still may have been able to drive back but I don't know. Good luck to all who are going.

I just brought them a 6-pack when my wife and I went to the studio to see the show 2 weeks ago.

Seemed easier that way
