Beer Challenges
There will be four beer challenges run through the course of 2024, below are details of the beer challenges and any restrictions.
Q1 – English Bitter <5%
Any English style bitter with and ABV of 5% or below, you can use any types of malt but must use English hops and yeast.
Q2 – Burnt Mill Clone
We will be inviting some members of the Burnt Mills Brewery along to one of our meetings during the second quarter of this year (date still to be announced), they have suggested we brew a clone of their Beyond the Firs (AG kit available from The Malt Miller).
We will circulate more details on recipe if and when they provide us some.
Q3 – American Hops Only
You can brew any style of beer you like as long as you only use American Hops.
Q4 – Dark \ Winter beers
We are looking for anything dark and comforting as the nights start to draw in, feel free to use your imagination, perhaps raid the spice cabinet.
