Ozapft Challenge, Needs Our Help

First, thanks to everyone that helped and/or judged the Limbo Challenge!

The Cap and Hare Homebrew Club helped us judge the Limbo this year. We need to support them in return. Their contest is the Ozapft Challenge. This contest is for German style beers. The entry period is open now and is limited to 100 entries. I already put an entry in.

We need to help C&H with judging. We can also help by entering. Judging will be September 6th and 7th. It is not listed on their BCOEM but I talked to Mark and those are the dates.

This is the link to their BCOEM: https://ntc.brewingcompetitions.com/

Here is a link to a document describing the competition: Ozapft Doc

Please help me support the Ozapft Challenge!

The Limbo Challenge BCOEM is up and running. Go ahead and create your account now. Entry registration opens on Sunday July 7th at Noon.

How to get all your precious entries in the competition:

  • Sequence entry registration from low medal category number to higher. The lower numbered categories usually fill up first. Light Lagers and such.
  • Put just enough information in each entry to be able to save it. This may just be one character for the name. Then save your entry. You can go back and edit later.
  • You will have one hour after you save your entry to pay for it. Don’t panic. That will be plenty of time. Also don’t panic if after paying for your entry, BCOEM does not show the entry as paid immediately. It takes PayPal a little bit of time notify BCOEM of payment. Trust your PayPal receipt.
  • At your leisure, go back and edit the entry details like name and required special ingredients. Note: you are only guaranteed to change style to another style in the medal category. You will not be able to change the style to a different style in a full medal category.
  • If you have questions, talk to Jimmy before the entry window opens.

    Cheers,
    Jimmy
