I was just wondering if anyone else here is brewing something for this comp. About a dozen MEGA members are doing ~6 gallons each on our own equipment and then getting together at the end of February to get it into the barrel for aging. We'll be taking the comp. entry out and keeping a corny of this for the club and the remainder will be split up by the brewers involved. So, any other BB's in this? BrewerGeorge you're from Indy aren't you & that would make Great Fermentations your LHBS?? BeachHey all,Andy and I have been in contact with Anita Johnson of Great Fermentations and Bob Ostrander of the State Fair Brewers Cup who are working with John Kruse of Brown Forman to get used-once Woodford Reserve barrels to Indiana Homebrew Clubs for a club competition at the Indiana State Fair Brewers Cup. Here's what we're planning.---Each participating club will get a 53-gallon wooden barrel. There is no charge. Brown Forman is donating the barrels.---Your club will probably have a big-brew day to make one batch of beer - your choice of style. The cask, of course, is to be used for barrel aging. ---No, you don't get the grain or hops donated also.---Each club will submit one entry (late June) to the Indiana State Fair Brewers Cup in a special category to compete for the Woodford Reserve Cup. ---This competition will be judged in category 22C - Wood-Aged Beer. It will include "base styles where barrel-aging is a fundamental requirement for the style (e.g., Flanders Red, Lambic, etc.)."---This competition will be judged by out-of-state judges. ---Your club gets to keep the cask, of course. ---We need you to bring a 5-gal corny keg of your entry beer to the Brewers Cup (early July) for people to sample during the dinner and awards ceremony (and possibly other State Fair receptions). The casks will be delivered by Brown Forman to the State Fairgrounds on January 30th, 2010 at the B.I.G. Winterfest. - 11 clubs are participating
Any other Hoosiers in the Woodford Reserve Cup?

Hey Bob, Good luck with your beer. I was beginning to wonder if gumballhead and I were the only ones here that were in on this comp. I like the club name BTW. May see you at the fair. BeachHowdy,My name is Bob G, I'm the president of MASH, Mad Anthony Serious Homebrewers from Fort Wayne, and we are participating in the Woodford Cup.We have 16 members that brewed 60 gallons last Saturday. Funny thing is that we just got another barrel for brewing and bam! now wew have two. We're looking forward to meeting up with others from Indiana clubs at the State Fair.Cheers,Bobmashfortwayne.com
