     National Homebrew day Full
Posted by Dave on 1/27/2010

This Event is Full   National Homebrew Day. May 1st 2010.  This Event is Full.

8am - ?

Please note that Dave will be STARTING the batch at 8:00am, and the wort will be ready to distribute around 12:30.
Dave invites all home-brewers to come join him in brewing a special batch on the big system.  After we are finished, we will split the wort up into home brewer's individual carboys to take home and tweak/ferment as they see fit.  NO yeast will be provided at the brewery, so get with your local home brew supply shop and order some yeast.  We want everyone to keep records of what they did, and then join us on a Sunday in mid to late August (date to be determined later) to share the fruits of our labor.  To guarantee wort for yourself at this event, signup is encouraged (brewery@southernstarbrewing.com).  16 Barrels makes about 100 5-gallon batches.  The wort made will be Brown, 1.060 and 30 IBU’s with a fairly neutral hop (probably Saphir or Goldings).  Bring your pre-sanitized carboys.
*NOTE: There isn't a charge for the wort or anything else

Brian will be conducting an all grain brewing class at the same time to demonstrate all grain brewing on a small scale (and to make us some rauchbier to drink!).  Put your thinking caps on and bring a notebook!

     2010 Pro-am Competition
Posted by Dave on 1/27/2010

Attention all home brewers!
It's Happening Again!


Southern Star Brewing is having a best of show competition (without the actual show).  The winning recipe will be brewed here with the winner and be released as the 2010 Addition to the Southern Star Pro-Am line.  The beer will also be entered into the 2010 GABF Pro-Am competition. 
As always, there are a few rules:



  • Great American Beer Festival rules dictate that to be eligible for the Pro-Am, the home brewer MUST be an American Home brewer Association member, both at the time the beer is judged by us, and at the time it is judged at the GABF.

  • Entries Must be greater than 5% ABV.  Our license does not allow us to make weak beer.

  • Entries must be ready to drink within 2 months after brewing.  If you brew a giant, it must mellow fast.

  • Entry must be able to be replicated on our system (i.e. no decoction or weird ingredient prep).  We are capable of step infusion.  Single step infusion preferred.

  • Entries cannot be from blended batches.  See above rule.

  • There is no entry fee.  Enter as many beers as you want.  Style is open.  Judges are invited to enter.

  • You must submit at least 4 bottles of each entry along with the recipe(we will keep the recipe private unless you state otherwise).

  • Entry deadline is April 17th.

  • Homebrewers cannot be employed at a professional brewery.


Entries will be judged on a 2 round basis that may extend to three rounds by Houston area Homebrew illuminati (or as many of them as we can round up/convince to do this).

Keep in mind our existing beer styles, as we are looking to diversify.
Good luck and we look forward to drinking...err, judging your entries!
