Chopped

[PhillyBrewer]

Sent Justin this message, but I'm not sure if he's too busy to read PMs so I thought I'd post it in the forums too.

I had an idea I thought I'd share in case it can be used in any of the TBN radio, TV, etc. endeavors. Forgive me if it's come up before.

I'm a big fan of the show Chopped. For those who aren't aware, it's a competition between 4 chefs who have to make an appetizer, entree, and dessert over 3 rounds. One of them gets voted off each round by a panel of judges based off the creativity and taste of their dishes. The interesting part is that each round the chefs get 4 unique ingredients that normally don't have any semblance which they have to use.

I thought it would be cool to have such a contest in the realm of beer - whether it be a recurring radio program or something else - where a number of contestants would get some interesting ingredients and have to create whatever type of beer they want. Possibilities are endless as far as the mandatory ingredients which could/should extend beyond grain and hops.

Anyway, just wanted to pass the idea along.

Cheers

That sounds like my type of contest. I am notorious for brewing with weird shit.

In the basket you have...

an acorn, one can of spam, cauliflower, and lemongrass

you have thirty minutes to brew a gueuze


you must use every ingredient but also have access to the homebrew pantry...

Don't know about a gueuze, but I bet I could brew a drinkable porter with those.

I'm half tempted to try that this fall when the acorns begin to drop.

The only problem is that every round would take a month.
