About the event:
Explore over 30 delicious beers brewed by some of NYC’s best homebrewers inspired by nature’s bountiful harvest! Beers will be separated into 8 categories: oats, wheat, corn, rye, fruit, vegetables/herb/spice, sugars, and miscellaneous grain. Your entry fee gets you a souvenir glass and unlimited samples of homebrew for the duration of the event! The event will take place on Saturday, October 14th from 1-5PM at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Building 77.
So I have previously posted about the two (!) brewdays I had for my entry (a 10+% A.B.V. Oat-Wine) to my Homebrew Club’s annual fundraising event, Brewminaries Present: Cornucopia. Batch 1 accidentally shot up to 89°F overnight but instead of just dumping it, I decided to let it ride to see if it was salvageable and brewed again (batch 2) with a different yeast and an insulated jacket I could add ice packs to. Well batch 1 was still tasting super hot a few weeks into “conditioning” so I decided to throw in a pack of Omega Yeast Brett Blend 3 and just see what happened whilst I added some Biofine to batch 2 and let it cold condition in the keg. The event is still a few weeks away so hopefully batch 1 develops some funk before then and I can serve it alongside batch 2 which I’m actually happy with how it turned out. Regardless, If you are around in NYC on October 14th and want to try this beer (and many many more) come buy tickets to the event!
