Kiwi Pilsner Brew~Off Brewing Competition

Get ready to brew up a storm and showcase your hoppy prowess in the Kiwi Pilsner Brew-Off. Whether you're a seasoned brewer or just dipping your toes into the world of home brewing, this is your chance to shine. So fire up those kettles, let the hops flow, and join us in perfecting this iconic NZ style.

We have a team of judges from Gladfield, Lallemand, and Brewshop who will determine the winners.

This is a BJCP registered competition, and you can check out the style description that the judges will be using here.

The only recipe requirements, apart from brewing to a NZ Pilsner style, are:

• That it includes Gladfield malt where possible
• That it includes Lallemand yeast
• That the majority of your ingredients are sourced from Brewshop.co.nz (your order number will be required for entry)

To help you get underway, we have an all grain recipe pack, high gravity wort recipe pack, and an extract recipe pack ready to go. Simply brew it, enter, and send us your bottles. Using this recipe is not a requirement, you can create your own recipe providing it meets the above conditions.

Prizes:

1st place - $500 Brewshop voucher
2nd place - $250 Brewshop voucher
3rd place - $100 Brewshop voucher
