[MR] Youth Non-Alcoholic Brewing Competition

[mholy at mchsi.com]

Posted on behalf of Lady Taria no Akiyo:

Did you know that the current Atlantian Royal Brewer had a non-alcoholic as one 
of his entries? Did you also know that he will be one of the judges at the 
Youth Non-Alcoholic Brewing competition at Lochmere’s Night of the Fools this 
Saturday?

In addition to the traditional brewing competition being held at Lochmere's 
Night of the Fools (April 16-18 at Elks Camp Barrett 
http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/0404/fools.htm), I will be sponsoring a youth non-
alcoholic brewing competition. There will be two age related categories: 12 and 
below, and 13 to 18. So, any school aged youth is welcome to participate. 
Documentation for the 12 and below group will be counted as bonus points, 
whereas the judging sheets for the 13 to 18 year olds will include 
documentation in the total score. Please include a list of ingredients with 
each entry, which will count towards documentation, so that the judges can 
evaluate them accordingly.

Some wonderful non-alcoholic recipes for syrups can be found in Cariadoc’s 
Miscellany at 
http://www.daviddfriedman.com/Medieval/miscellany_pdf/Misc9recipes.pdf
Syrup of Sekanjibin, which is served diluted at many events, is just sugar and 
vinegar boiled down into thick syrup. All the non-alcoholic syrups listed in 
the Miscellany should take less than an hour to make, depending upon the volume 
that you’re making.

Please contact me if you have any questions about the competition, want a copy 
of the judging forms, or would like some help getting started. Taira no Akiyo

very much and happy brewing.
