The 28th Annual Heart of the Valley Homebrewers Oregon Homebrew Festival will be held on May 15, 2010 at Calapooia Brewing in Albany, OR. This is an AHA and BJCP sanctioned competition, and a qualifying event for the Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing (MCAB).
We will be judging the 28 2008 Recognized BJCP Beer, Mead, and Cider Styles. Join us on Saturday afternoon for a gigantic raffle, homebrew information, and more!
Best of Show Prizes
Two Best Of Show prizes will be presented this year, depending on the BJCP style.
The winner of style categories 6-15 will be brewer for a day at Ninkasi, reproducing their award-winning beer. This beer will be released for sale in bottles and kegs, and become the official beer of HOTV's Septembeerfest 2010.

Equipment Swap
We all have old pieces of perfectly good equipment from previous setups laying around, collecting dust. Why not clean some space out and help out your fellow brewer who may just be looking for that old brewpot you've outgrown or the counterflow chiller you used before upgrading to a plate chiller? Got an extra carboy? Bring it on in. Looking for an aeration stone? Who knows you just might fine one. And don't forget about all of those miscellaneous pieces from your draft setup you can trade to someone just making the jump to kegging. No item is too small to be swapped, so bring your unused stuff down and make a deal. We'll have an attendant in the area at all times to watch over the equipment and make sure you know when someone is interested in making you a deal. Give it a try.
First Time Entry Competition
If you are a first timer to homebrew competitions, be sure to check off the first timer entry box on the entry form. Along with our regular homebrew competion judging we are also honoring
and welcoming newcomers to homebrew competitions with an additional competition between the first timers. Your entry will still be judged in the main competition, which is a great way to receive
constructive feedback, but you get the added bonus of competing with your newcomer peers and be judged for best first time entry award all for the same entry fee.
