Hello Keepers (and other visitors, welcome!),
A few years ago now, we held a 'fantasy football' style draft board to have a bit of fun to build recipes on the fly, and as it’s football (whichever flavour you prefer) season once more, we are bringing back the homebrew fantasy draft once again!
The aim of the competition is to learn a little bit about formulating recipes, choosing ingredients, using substitutions, getting adventurous, and just having fun. Last time was a blast, and we had a ton of great brews come out of it.
This time, we’ll be meeting at Distant Whistle at 118 S Main St, Vicksburg, MI 49097 on Sunday September 28th @ 5pm. South County Homebrew Supply will be open so we can pop over & grab ingredients.
The rules for this year:
- Brewers or teams of brewers will have the opportunity to "draft" your recipe.
- Where available, ingredients should be drafted from the ingredient list (see below).
- Required ingredients include: base malt, specialty malt, adjunct, two hops, yeast, and one flex option. You can draft up to 10 ingredients.
- Ingredients must be ‘perceptible’ in the final brew; you cannot pick an ingredient & ‘bench’ it or use it so sparingly that it’s not evident.
- Write-in & trades will be accepted.
- Brewer/Brewer teams are limited to 16.
Beers will be due at the Keepers November 9th for judging.
The final draft board is included below. Thanks for all that turned out & made it such a fun evening.
