Greetings fellow Homebrewers,
Do you have what it takes to compete? Shortleaf Brewing is inviting local homebrewers to participate in its 4th Annual Winghaven Wort Share & Brewing Competition. Shortleaf Brewing will be brewing 10 BBL of wort and shall provide 6 gallons of wort per homebrewer. There will be a total of 50 spots available.
The wort pickup will be on Saturday April 29th, 2023 from 8am to 12pm. On the day of the wort share, you will bring your clean/sanitized bucket WITH lid to Shortleaf Brewing between 8am and 12pm (brewery & kitchen open at 11AM).
Wort must be picked up by you or a responsible party by 12pm, otherwise we will freely distribute your wort to anyone who wants it -- so be warned!
There is no cost to enter the competition and the only requirement is that you use Shortleaf's wort, which will be available for free at the 8am the day of the Wort Share, while supplies last. Sign-up times for wort pickup will begin at 8am.
We've got a pretty simple recipe this year so lots of different directions one could go, 2023 Malt Bill:
- 96.2% German Pilsner (2-row)
- 3.8% Acidulated Malt
Expected Specifications:
- SG - 1.049
- SRM - 3.3

Competition / judging event shall be on Sunday June 4, 2023. Our goal is to have an event for our pint club members as well as other guests who will help vote on their favorite brewery & beer. We'll be shutting down the entire road in front of the brewer, live music, and food will be available.
Entrants will provide their created twist in the wort provided by Shortleaf. This can be kegged or bottles, but must be ready to serve by this tentative date. We will have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place as well as a “People’s Choice” winner! More information to come to those who participate.
