Capital Brewers - I can't believe it's not Lambic - Kettle Sour competition

[beerfly]

Wondering if Kit Sours are allowed... 

would have to be extract at least, the hopping levels in kits would prevent souring also your beer would not be reproducable

Cathal and Emma could easily hire a lackey to dump a few dozen canisters of kit slop into the boiler...

We have a very sophisticated solution.

Great answer.

Good site here on how to do a kettle sour using fast souring method. I've tried it myself before and you can turn around a pretty decent sour in a couple of weeks.

Still plenty of spots for entries to the sour competition. There was some good quality sours at the Capital Brewers meet during the week, turnaround time for most of them was very quick so plenty of time to get brewing still.

Doing mine this weekend. Reasonable enough abv (sub 5%) so once its in the bottle in a couple of weeks it can condition all the way to the day

Had a bit of trouble with uploading the scoresheets online. I have emailed them out now to the entrants. Let me know if you have any problems or didn't get them.

Thanks again to everyone who took part!
