[MR] Storvik Novice Tourney brewing competition

[Elspeth Payne]

Greetings Gentles!  Storvik Novice Tourney is upon us.  There will be a brewing tourney also!

 A novice tourney in brewing will include 1) beers and ales, 2) mead and wine, 3) cordials, 4) syrups and sekanjubins, and 5) other brewing-related beverages such as vinegars.  Judging will begin at 2pm.  Prizes will be awarded in each of the five categories.  You must have been working in this style for less than one year to compete - if you've been making beer for years but just made your first mead eleven months ago, you can enter the mead.  Documentation strongly encouraged, but keep it simple: the period recipe, your redaction, what you'd do differently.  Make sure to include all ingredients and quantities.  Presentation should be simple too - capped or corked bottles without other identifying marks on the bottle or cap, except for a label with your name, the name of the entry, and a list of ingredients (quantities not required; this is a food allery safety measure).  Competitors are encouraged to be present at the judging. Winners will
 be announced at evening court.
 
Cheers,
