SILVER MEDAL!!!!!!!
Deadly! Well done Stuart!
I will give Irish Goat your medal when I meet him at Alfie's or direct to you if you are coming down to it.
Thank you!
Where can I find out which cats were all judged on sat as I'm wondering what I have left in yet to be judged?

Any cats not mentioned here basically. http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/forum/competitions/kildare-calling-round-1-results!!!/
I wasn't sure which categories had been amalgamated tbh!
That's why I wasn't sure which had already been judged!?
Hopefully you know what I mean!?

Ah I get you. Checked the system and you've two let to be judged; Your wit and old ale.
Thanks Thomas!
The German pils was judged on sat too!- it was a hard one to brew I think there's was a particular flaw perhaps with that one!
Was the apa a strong cat on sat?
Hey Stuart,
I asked the same question regarding the APA category. There were 17 entries in total.
I think it was the most popular category on the day.
Mick
I did think it must have been a popular one, it must have been tight too as there was an HM as well as the 3 places!
I was talking to the judges after the competition as I had a beer in there myself. They told me that the gold scored a 41 or 42, they told me that second and third were in the 35-37 range. This was well into the evening though so memories were getting a little hazy!!!
The one I sent in I was quite happy with in the end , I had two brewed to choose from and I'm not sure how much better I could have done with it for competition, so I think that's where the crit sheets come in very useful!

Thanks! Hmmm tips ... brew a recipe a few times and tweak it to get it to your liking and watch your sanitation. I don't think there's much more than that ... oh yeah, don't use crappy ingredients!
Happy brewing.
Do you aim for a particular commercial beer though to win a cat?
I admit I used Sierra Nevada pale ale as a yard stick in brewing my apa for the competition!

I used this recipe (http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=369668) as my base but tweaked it a bit. I dropped the Pilsner malt content and added some Wheat malt I also added some Citra to the recipe.
That's very kind of you to share that info! Thanks👍
