Click the below button to show the full list:
Q1 – Water Treatment Challenge (February – March)
The remit is super simple: Make a pale beer with Anglian tap water.
Q2 – Malt Challenge (April – June)
The remit is simple: Use at least 70% Weyermann Barke Munich malt – any style, any hop(s), any yeast.
Q3 – Single Hop Challenge (July – September)
Colin Miller agreed to speak to Charles Faram about their experimental hops to see whether one of these might suit our single hop challenge. We are looking to build a relationship with Faram’s offering to provide brewers feedback and tasting notes. We’ll look to hold the challenge at the final monthly meeting of the quarter (TBC) to allow as much time in the quarter as possible. Any beer, any style you choose. However, you must use the experimental hop provided as the only hop additions.
Q4 – Yeast (October – December)
Colin Miller again offered (he must have been feeling merry at this point) to talk to yeast manufacturers to get at least 1x set yeast for the same recipe beer or set recipe and 2x different yeasts, provided to brewers at random. The resulting beers will be tasted at a suitable point before Christmas.
