Writing Documentation

Keep it simple. You do not need to write a major paper. One or two sheets of information is sufficient.

We want to know what source you used for your recipe. If possible, we prefer a period source, a copy of the actual recipe, your translation and redaction of the recipe and what procedure and ingredients you used to produce the brew. If you want to include other historical information after this, you may. Beware of relying on generalized sources, such as encyclopedias or popular books that do not give accurate documentation of their sources.

Please be sure to let us know if you have used any preservatives, such as Campden tablets in the production of your brew. Campden tablets leave residual sulfites in the brew, which can make some people very sick.

Please be aware that documentation does count towards your competition score. In the case of two brews of equal quality, the one with the best documentation receives the higher score.
