Why? I think one of the beauties of a wit is you get to start
drinking it fast. If the keg/bottles stay in the 'frig to long, you
can shake to re-suspend the protein.

Subject: Announcing the 7th Annual Walk The Line on Barleywine homebrew

Announcing the 7th Annual Walk The Line on Barleywine homebrew competition,
hosted by Dunedin Brewers Guild from Dunedin, Florida!

WTL has been expanded to include "Imperial" styles, and includes all BJCP
Beer style categories (1-23). It is an AHA sanctioned competition. Send in
any of your "regular" big beers (Imperial IPA, Imperial Stout, Doppelbock,
Belgian Strong, Old Ale, Barleywine, etc.), or enter your Imperial
Anything - such as Imperial Pilsner.

We are looking for entries, as well as judges to volunteer for this
competition. I will post another announcement when we start accepting
entries (1 November), as well as a call for judges.

Judging will be held on 6 December 2008 (check our web site for details and
location), followed by the awards ceremony.
Entries will be accepted from 1-28 November 2008 using our online entry
system.
Winner of the homebrew competition gets a great award! All winners get
medals.
Each entry costs $6 and consists of two(2) unmarked and unlabelled 10-14oz
brown bottles.
Entries may be submitted by a single brewer, or by a brewing team. All
entries must be homebrewed.

In keeping with the Florida Circuit competitions, you may submit a maximum
of two entries for each BJCP substyle. For example, you may submit 12
stouts, but only two of each of the stout substyles (dry, sweet, oatmeal,
etc.).
