Michigan Homebrew Festival 2010 - Pictures

[Mr. T]

I was able to pull off a 3rd for my Kolsch and HM for my Scottish 60/-. Certainly the highlight of the fest was the opportunity to share a bunch of beers with you fellow BNers. Next year will be off the hook.

Congrats Mills! Helluva showing. You were also pouring some fantastic beers at the BN tent! I was fortunate enough to take 2 medals myself. A gold, silver & an honorable mention! Not bad for only entering six beers if I do say so myself!
Cheers! Kevin

Thanks guys!

Mr. T, talk to me about the kolsch and the 60/-. Were they JZ recipes?

I was only one point away from a HM, missed it by that much. I was happy though being it was only my 3rd all grain on my new system. On another note, I don't think I can post the pics of the "tap handle" I took online, someone might get arrested.

A 37 is a great score! I busted into one of the sour beers that I got from the competition and I really enjoyed it. Did any of the rest of you drink the Velvet Hammer yet?

Mr .T, your public service announcements are beyond reproach.

"Drink your drugs, stay off school, don't do milk....I need work"

Please keep up the good work!

The grain bill for the Kolsch was pretty much spot on JZ's. I changes the hops to .25oz Hallertau and 1oz Tettnang, both at 60min. For yeast I chose WLP029.

The Scottish 60/- was based on JZ's Scottish Heavy 70/- (not caramelized). I used Golden Promise for the base malt. It always seemed a little light for a 70/-. I entered it in both NHC and Mi Beer Cup as both a 60/- and 70/- and in both comps it scored much better as a 60/-.
