It’s official! Dust off your brewing equipment as the Sudzers are doing their first GigaYeast brewing challenge. We are doing two categories: IPAs and Belgians.
The stipulation is that you must use the IPA and/or Belgian yeast strains that were distributed at our last meeting from GigaYeast. GigaYeast is fine with us propagating the strains for use in the contest. The Belgian yeast is not even commercially available so we will be the first to test drive the yeast.
Several of us are going to help propagate the strains for use in the contest. We will bring the strains to the meeting in October or can coordinate pick-ups in advance. I already have 12 samples of the Super Secret Belgian Yeast ready for you to use. Email me to coordinate pick-ups of the strain in Sunnyvale, Justin to coordinate East Bay, and Rueben for San Jose pick-ups.
For the November meeting we will focus on tasting only the Belgian and IPA contest entries (of course you will be free to bring other beers for social hour). We are hoping Loren from Gigayeast or the founder will be able to help judge the competition. If they are not able to join us we will ask you to bring a couple of bottles so we can provide them to Gigayeast.
Ribbons will be awarded for the top three places in each category.
Brew On.
