Hey guys,

This year ill be entering the following:

CPA AG clone.
Australian Modern Pale Ale - Specialty. <--- this is the one DrSmurto liked, im up to revision 3 and i think its got alot better.
Dark Ale.
German Wheat beer.
Australian Bitter.

- There is no Dark Ale Category, only Dark Lager (which its not) and Stout/Porter .... the closest thing would be a porter as its black in colour but
lighter body than a stout.

Do you guys reckon i should put it in the Porter Category or Speciality - Dark Ale.

[drsmurto]

Brown porter or australian dark ale (which is exclusively tooheys old).

If you give me the recipe I can help you with where to enter it

Hey doc,

Was aiming for tooheys old... Heres the recipe.

3kg pilsner malt
1.5kg munich
450g carafa 2
120g aromatic malt
120g caramalt
120g munich 2 (dark munich)

15g hallertauer 60m
15g northern brewer 60m
15g hallertauer 20m
5g hallertauer dry hop.

Edit yeast was english yeast s04??? I think..

[drsmurto]

No hop aroma or yeast esters allowed in an Australian dark ale

Looks more like a brown porter, verging on a robust porter (OG/FG/IBU?) although hallertau is an odd choice for a dark ale.
