I think as the norm the numbers will be capped at 60 to be manageable on the day! But if the interest is huge, well us at South Kildare will re assess and handle it 😀🍻
Let the brewing commence!

60 lagers would be impressive
Hope they all have temp control🤢
Would California common be a option for a substyle for those that don't?

Speaking to both judges on the day and they said that the standard was very poor.

This was one of the reasons that we decided to host a lager competition. It should give all those that entered the nationals a chance to use the judges feedback to improve their beer and try again.

Crikey! How many pale lagers were there? Sounds like I did relatively well, although I was amazed by the stuff he picked out that took me an effort to pick out even with the scoresheet in front of me. Invaluable and very thought provoking.

Was planning a rebrew using the feedback anyway, so this would be a brilliant opportunity to check progress.

Just a quick update. Myself and Kellie are meeting this week to work out the details of the competition.

I'm surprised to see kolsch and altbier in the style line up. Neither are typically fermented with bottom fermenting yeast. Seems like a shame to include them if the objective is to encourage better lager brewing.

The competition is there to encourage better lager brewing but we also wanted to open it up to brewers that don't have the cold storage or temp control that lagering requires hence the kolsch/Altbier styles.

OK OK, I hear what you're saying. We will review and either leave it as it currently is or get rid of altbier/kolsch etc. There is still 6 months to the comp.

Ah no, it's your competition. Do what works. My main objective is to (hopefully) dial in the brew I entered in the nationals. Might have another try at an altbier me self.

I think it would be nice to reserve this to bottom fermented lagers only. The whole appeal is the technical challenge of lager brewing. If a fantastic Cali common or Kolsch was entered and ended up winning it would be an awful pity. All in my opinion of course.
Title: Re: South Kildare Lager Competition
Post by: Qs on March 18, 2017, 08:11:11 PM
I know there was a little bit of a lack of medals for the lagers at the nationals, how did the alts, Cal Commons and kolschs do?
Title: South Kildare Lager Competition
Post by: mr hoppy on March 18, 2017, 08:14:41 PM
The kolsch, alt and BP were judged together and produced a silver, gold and bronze respectively. No idea about CC.

To be fair alt and kolsch are supposed to be lagered.

Title: Re: South Kildare Lager Competition
Post by: Leann ull on March 18, 2017, 10:55:12 PM
Issue is that Kolschs Alt Cal C are "easier" to do and not as technically challenging.
As others have said it's your comp.
Title: Re: South Kildare Lager Competition
Post by: mick02 on March 20, 2017, 06:57:53 PM
Hi all,

After much thought and consideration we have decided to remove the following from this competition ... 5B. Kölsch, 19B. California Common, 7B. Altbier.

The reason we are holding this competition is to challenge Irish brewers to brew award winning lagers.

We understand the challenges involved in producing a lager during the warmer summer months but hope that we get a lot of quality entries to the comp.

Apologies to all you Kolsch brewers.

Mick

Thought I would leave this here for anyone entering this competition.

If you're thinking of entering a Marzen/Oktoberfest then you would want to get cracking

Yep, a rauch. I've developed quiet a liking to Smoked beers recently.

I have two possible entries that are now a week into fermentation. I'll know in a few weeks if they are good enough for entry, hopefully i'll be able to enter at least one anyway.

How many entries do you need to make it a runner?

Great stuff thanks for the support  :)

To be honest I feel we need at least 50 entries to make it worthwhile. You all know what goes into making a competition run. Plus we are taking up a space in the pub on a weekend day. So fingers crossed we now have 21 entries! :)

Lets do this!  :) :)

Myself and few other people have beers made for the competition but as the style takes a long time to get right I think people are waiting till near the end to see if there beers are worth entering which doesn't help the club know how many are going to enter. Just my thoughts .....hope people enter now to make it happen  8)

All,

A final push for entries for this competition. Closing date is 9th of September. We have arranged to have the entries collected from reps around the country. Please make sure that you have your entries with your reps asap after the 9th September (especially if you are based outside of the greater Dublin region).

Good luck to all entrants.

Hey, just checking something about the entry form - no matter what style I select, it still tells me: This style requires that you provide specific information for entry. Instructions are below.

"Kellerbier" is the only one with a symbol beside it in the style dropdown though, so I guess that's the only one that has any requirements, does that sound about right?

Cheers!

We have 45 entries for this competition. A pretty good turn out.

We are planning on following the same format as the Nationals where we will separate the entries into Pilsner/Pale Lager and Amber/Dark Lager.

I just want to say thanks to all that volunteered their time to get the entries to us (we still have some stragglers but most have been collected).

Good luck to all that entered.
