5th Annual Big Turkey Homebrew Contest: IPA

Post by Chris Norrick » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:19 pm

The beer style for the 5th annual OVHA member’s only Big Turkey brewing contest is India Pale Ale (IPA), BJCP Category 14 with all sub-styles. This includes the sub- styles: A: English IPA B. American IPA, and C. Imperial IPA . Information about these styles can be found at the BJCP web site: http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style14.php

INSTRUCTIONS:
• You may enter one beer in each of the subcategories. Please do not enter the same beer in different subcategories.
• You need two bottles of said beer for each subcategory you are entering. Please use as plain as a bottle and you can muster. Things like swing tops, labels, raised lettering, etc are not allowed in sanctioned competitions but will be allowed here if it is ALL you have as a last resort.
• Print out the BJCP Bottle ID form from the back page of this newsletter. • Fill in your Name, Category (14), and Subcategory (A: English IPA,
B. American IPA, or C. Imperial IPA).
• Cut out the labels and attach one to EACH bottle with a rubber band. Again, please use as plain as a bottle and you can muster.

Judging will be using the standard BJCP judging sheets used at all the AHA competitions and styles will each be judged within their own subcategory. It‘s up to you to pick the subcategory you want your beer to be judged against.
One winner, the Best of Show, will get their name on the Big Turkey trophy, get their beer brewed for SWIRCA next year at Big Brew, receive one year’s free OVHA membership, get a Big Turkey ceramic stein, and a $30 gift certificate... not to mention the fame and glory that comes with winning the prestigious OVHA Big Turkey Competition. Second prize includes a $20 gift certificate. Third will receive a $10 gift certificate. There may be other unannounced prizes.

All of my ingredients are still sitting in cool and dry storage. I can't figure out why they didn't brew themselves this weekend...
If your beer doesn't come out exactly right, call a brew-over!

When you get that figured out let me know. If my wife hadn't cut my grass on Saturday when we were in Indy I would of been doing that instead of brewing.

I've got over a pound and a half of hops laid out for Saturday. I think I might not be ready in time. :(
