Re: Garrison Home Brew-Off 2018
I don't see anything in the rules this year about the winner having to save a bunch to serve at the gala. Did they stop doing that? I thought it was a dumb idea anyway, because I always end up drinking most of it beforehand, which would disqualify me.

"Awards will be handed out during the Gala on Thursday, March 22nd, 2018 at 7pm at Garrison’s
Seaport Hall and finalists are asked to bring a quantity of their beer for attendees to sample."

Looks like it's not required but requested. I think it's a nice idea to have people bring /some/ of their brew to let other brewers give it a go

Re: Garrison Home Brew-Off 2018
This wasn’t an easy beer to make, it took me 4 batches to get it right. I lost one due to contaminated equipment.
I worked on a recipe using tettnang and the white labs kolsch yeast for a couple batches until the very last one where I switched it to the Hallertau and wyeast version.
I also changed up my ferment profile for the last one, I thought that if the quick lager method works for my Doppelbock then why not try something similar on the kolsch. The first few batches I just sat it at 14-16c for the duration and ramped up however with this one I began at 15c and after 50% attenuation began to ramp up.
Made a huge difference

Re: Garrison Home Brew-Off 2018
Another interest bit is that I did a split batch with one and did a kolsch yeast in 5 gallons and a London ESB in the other 5. You can barely tell the difference.

Re: Garrison Home Brew-Off 2018
I’m doing the exact same thing. If you used the wyeast kolsch you might be screwed. It’s notorious for not clearing even after finings. I was gonna filter but the beer was so good I didn’t wanna screw with it.jacinthebox wrote:Not super impressed with the clarity on this.

We just checked and Garrison gave us the correct date of Thursday, March 29th. And we managed to type the day before.
I know, I know, we should all be fired. But then where you gonna get your (slightly incorrect) beer news, huh?!
(We've fixed the post. And we'll put the correct date (and a mea culpa) in this week's post as well.)

Re: Garrison Home Brew-Off 2018
I had the same experience with wyeast 2565 back with a kolsch in the summer, this most recent recipe I went with WLP029 as people reported it flocculating a little better and I did notice the same thing.oceanic_brew wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 1:34 amI’m doing the exact same thing.

Re: Garrison Home Brew-Off 2018
Yeah I used wlp029...
Good luck everyone...I've never had a "true" Kolsch before...so I have no idea if it tastes like a Kolsch (other than using the style guidelines).

Re: Garrison Home Brew-Off 2018
I tried Off Track’s and Norths and mine was in line with those. With the 4 batches I did it was very obvious when it missed the mark. But we shall see.
