I was thinking the same about an oatmeal stout with added coffee. You can definitely get the coffee, but its not a 'ooh this might fool the judges into thinking it came from roasted grains' kind of coffee taste. it is delicious though IMHO

My personal opinion. I think there's a difference between blending a beer and a non beer versus aging in a barrel which a non beer was originally in (or even staves, cubes etc). I don't think a beer with added Whiskey is the same as aging it in a whiskey barrel (cubes etc)

Besides you shouldn't mix the grape with the grain ;)

I don't really think it's different from adding other flavours like fruit for example other than the fact that fruit beer is an existing style, but isn't that what the expirimental category is for?
Everyone has to believe in something, I believe I'll have another drink...

Not sure I agree. For fruit beer the fruit will ferment

Fermented fruit sounds a lot like wine to me.
But rather than debating the technicalities, I'm I going to be able to enter this?

Hi, I'm having trouble printing out my labels. I've paid and have the green tick beside each beer to conform this, but the Print Bottle Labels button isn't working

It's working fine for me here. Perhaps a browser Ad Blocker or similar is causing the problem?

No, I can't click on the button. When I hover over the button, the cursor changes to a red circle with a red line through it

Have you fully paid for all your entries? Can you post a screenshot of the full browser window please?

You need to tick the beers first and then the print labels button activates. Looks like a multi select jobbie.

That worked, thanks. Not the most obvious thing

Results.

Thanks to brewers, judges + organizers for a brilliant day.

OK folks, score sheets are now available on the competition site. Please note that the results on the front page of the comp site are not the results as they were grouped for the competition. The software we use for hosting the comp website is good but it has certain limitations. If you want to see the scores per category please check the Google Docs link that Rich posted earlier.

If anyone has any questions or there are issues with the score sheets (from a technical standpoint not from a judging stand point!) please let me know.

thanks Mick, amazing to get them published the monday after the competition, really appreciate that.

Delighted with my scoresheets (no medals!), good detail and good feedback on both my beers, judges liked both and said as much, but they were in the wrong category, and that's on me.

Thanks to the judges, organisers and all involved in a very, very successful nationals.
