2nd Annual Making a Mockery, A Homebrew Compe v Mockery Brewing
2ND ANNUAL MAKING A MOCKERY, A HOMEBREW COMPETITION
** Entry fees will go on sale March 3rd at 10am through our website under "Shop". **
Mockery Brewing would like to invite any and all home brewers and home brew clubs to participate in our annual "Making a Mockery" home brew competition. Mockery will be brewing up a virgin wort (un-hopped, single malt) to distribute to a limited number of home brewers/home brew clubs. Mockery will be brewing the morning of March 18th to kick off our St. Patties Day Hangover Brunch. There will be approximately 60-70 entry spots available for the competition. Entry fees will be $10 for 5 gallons of wort and $20 for 10 gallons. Mockery will bring the wort up to a boil and then run the wort through the heat exchanger to bring it back down to approximately 60F to fill carboys. Entrants must pick up the wort from Noon-3pm, provide their own carboys, and purchase any other ingredients for their respective brews. All final samples will be due back at Mockery within 8 weeks by May 13th (entries can be dropped off earlier as well).
Some details:
1. Wort will be 100% Genie Pale Malt from Root Shoot Malting (Loveland, CO)
2. Original Gravity will be approximately 1.060 (specific gravity), or 15 Plato.
3. All entries must violate the rules set forth by the Reinheitsgebot, meaning an ingredient outside of water, malt, yeast and hops must be used. Bacteria will be considered as an acceptable ingredient outside of the Reinheitsgebot.
4. Any yeast, hops, spices, fruits, etc. can be used to produce a truly unique beer. We provide the canvas, you must channel your inner Jackson Pollock to create a work of beer art.
5. First Place will receive a $100 gift card to Mockery Brewing, Winner's Trophy, and Mockery will brew the winners recipe on their 15 barrel system with the winner(s). If the winner belongs to a homebrew club, that club will also be invited out for the brew day on Mockery's system and the club will also receive the much coveted Brewer's Trophy. The winner and one guest of their choice will also be invited to Mockery's 4th anniversary party in November to drink for free.
6. Second Place will receive a $50 gift card to Mockery Brewing.
7. Third Place will receive one item of merchandise of their choice (up to $25 value).
8. Judging samples should be submitted in two bottles, 12oz or larger. Winner announced on May 18th. We will loosely be using BJCP judging/scoring sheets, but the beers need not fit into category style guidelines. Like our beers, we are ultimately concerned with how well made, balanced, and flavorful they are and not how stylistically correct they are.
Savory Spice Shop has also committed to providing a 20% off coupon to all entrants to the competition. John from Inland Island Yeast Co. and Todd from Root Shoot Malts will also be hanging out on the brew day to talk about their products and have some yeast and malt available for participants. Anyone needing more than a pound of any ingredient from Savory can call Melinda (720-939-3533) to get even better discounts using a code word given to entrants.
