NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: AHA Club-Only-Competition for Belgian Strong Ales
Dunedin Brewers Guild is proud to announce that we are hosting the AHA
(American Homebrewers Association) Club-Only-Competition for Belgian Strong
Ales (BJCP style 18)! This is a homebrew competition. COC-Belgian is now
accepting entries online at www.DunedinBrewersGuild.com (be sure to select
the COC-Belgian link, but you can *also* enter the Walk The Line On
Barleywine, if you want - yes - that's right - two competitions the same
weekend!). Entry deadline is 27 November 2009, and final judging will occur
on 5 December 2009. Cost is $7 per entry and consists of TWO (2) 10-14 oz
unmarked brown bottles.
NOTE - this competition allows for one entry per AHA registered club. So -
get together with your club members and decide who has the entry that will
best represent your club - and send it in!
Also, for BJCP judges, pro brewers, experienced judges, and stewards - it
would be great to have you come out and help in the judging! I will publish
a separate Call For Judges as the competition gets closer. This is a
BJCP/AHA sanctioned competition. Note that judges who RSVP will get
priority scheduling.

Subject: Roasted Wheat in an Amber?? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
G'day all,
Yesterday I rabbited on about an amber ale grain bill that I'm working on.
70% Pale, 10% Amber, 10% Cararoma, 7% Wheat and 3% Roasted Barley.
The aim is to push the roast and toffee malt flavour profile of the beer rather
than having a hop driven dark ale.
I've got a 3% addition of roasted barley in the current recipe. Last night
I managed to find a kilo of roasted wheat in the back of the grainstore.
I had planned on using the roasted wheat (1300EBC) for a Pikantus
copy but didn't get around to it. I've never used roasted wheat before and
I was wondering what flavour contribution it will make if I use, say,
50g / approx. 2oz in a 5 Gallon batch - or is it only good for color?
Cheers,
Rowan
