Original post updated with more details.

Official competition entry system to be advertised soon.

Get brewing!

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.

The selection is great. Now just to decide what to do

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.

[mr hoppy]

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.

[Qs]

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?

[mr hoppy]

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.
