NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: AHA Club-Only-Competition for Belgian Strong Ales

Dunedin Brewers Guild is proud to announce that we are hosting the AHA 
(American Homebrewers Association) Club-Only-Competition for Belgian Strong 
Ales (BJCP style 18)!  This is a homebrew competition.  COC-Belgian is now 
accepting entries online at www.DunedinBrewersGuild.com (be sure to select 
the COC-Belgian link, but you can *also* enter the Walk The Line On 
Barleywine, if you want - yes - that's right - two competitions the same 
weekend!).  Entry deadline is 27 November 2009, and final judging will occur 
on 5 December 2009.  Cost is $7 per entry and consists of TWO (2) 10-14 oz 
unmarked brown bottles.

NOTE - this competition allows for one entry per AHA registered club.  So - 
get together with your club members and decide who has the entry that will 
best represent your club - and send it in!

Also, for BJCP judges, pro brewers, experienced judges, and stewards - it 
would be great to have you come out and help in the judging!  I will publish 
a separate Call For Judges as the competition gets closer.  This is a 
BJCP/AHA sanctioned competition.  Note that judges who RSVP will get 
priority scheduling.

From: "Williams, Rowan" <Rowan.Williams at ag.gov.au>
Subject: Roasted Wheat in an Amber?? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

G'day all,
Yesterday I rabbited on about an amber ale grain bill that I'm working on.

70% Pale, 10% Amber, 10% Cararoma, 7% Wheat and 3% Roasted Barley.

The aim is to push the roast and toffee malt flavour profile of the beer rather
than having a hop driven dark ale.

I've got a 3% addition of roasted barley in the current recipe.  Last night
I managed to find a kilo of roasted wheat in the back of the grainstore.

I had planned on using the roasted wheat (1300EBC) for a Pikantus
copy but didn't get around to it.  I've never used roasted wheat before and
I was wondering what flavour contribution it will make if I use, say,
50g / approx. 2oz in a 5 Gallon batch - or is it only good for color?

Cheers,
Rowan
