Mysterious Brewing X The Malt Miller Home Brewing Competition.
We’ve teamed up with the wonderful Ken & Adam from Mysterious Brewing, to celebrate 2 years since they turned from home brewers to commercial with a wonderful opportunity to recreate one of their classic recipes in the form of a home brewing competition!
“Here at Mysterious Brewing, we are hurtling towards our second year of brewing as professionals!
It has been an exciting, fast learning, productive but needless to say, extremely busy journey. From years of home brewing, to having our beers served around the country at some of the best independent bars and festivals. We have also been lucky enough to have some of our beer heroes invite us for collaborations both home and away.
The support we have had along the way is incredible and we are looking to pay it forward with the home brew community.”
The Competition
Hone your skills and dial in your hopping methods..
One of the early beers that we produced was Citra Triangle, this beer was designed to kick off our single hop series. A base of malt that would showcase the hop to its full potential and the choice of Citra was an easy starting point as it was so influential in igniting the craft beer revolution.
Citra Triangle was released and it instantly won awards for beer of the festival at several events and due to demand, we subsequently brewed it several more times.
This competition is giving you the chance to present your favourite hop, be it an old school classic or a brand new variety. A chance to show your technique in capturing those flavours and aromas in your own unique way.
Think easy drinking beer that will leave you wanting more. Surprise us, impress us, let your creativity flow.
The triangle series is based on the fact that this beer is made from 3 malts and the hops are added in 3 stages. Simply order your competition entry, which will include your malt and then add your hops to your basket. Feel free to use hop products as well as hops but make sure it fits within the brief. Yeast choice is also down to the brewer – but we’re looking for a clean beer, so a West Coast/Chico style is essential to delivering this!
The ABV is a guide, please aim to stick to this but we appreciate that you may waver either side of it slightly.
