Congrats Rossa, on that rake of medals, that's very impressive stuff. Well done to all the medal winners too. I can't believe the numbers in some of those categories! Like Porter with 21 entries!!
Thanks to all the organisers, stewards and judges for their trojan work. Roll on the Dublin leg, really looking forward to it. :)

Quote from: Bubbles on February 22, 2015, 05:33:27 PMWait until you see the big ones - stout, pale ale and ipa. I think they have over 40 in each. The spread had been great this year. Nearly every category was well represented. It really shows brewers are expanding their repertoire to new styles - often ones you can't readily buy here.

What's Hot:
Altbier and California Common
English Brown / Milds
Old Ales
Fruit Beers
Speciality Beer
What's Not:
German Pils and Pilsner
Vienna Lager / Oktoberfest
Smoked / Wood Aged Beer
That's half the NHC spring/summer 15 collection ;)

Its difficult to tell really as the total number of entries increased each year. Would be more accurate to see the percentage of the total entries

Wish I could've participated this year, but it cost me over $50 USD to mail 2 bottles into the competition last year so I had very strict instructions not to send anything. ;-(
Great to get to see everyone posting photos on FB and the various member blogs, though.

Hope so I'd really like to see the Black IPA Recipe.

Ask and you shall receive. Here's the Black for what it's worth.
I'm a newcomer to Brewsmith, so please excuse me if it's arseways!

The point is to share the recipes. For the Nationals its not compulsory but for the smaller regional comps like Wikkla then it is requested that you share!
No one is going to be castigated for not publishing the recipe but hey: If you got Gold in the Nats then why not share the recipe?
UNLESS: You are about to go commercial :)

Never understood secrecy in recipes. It's not like anything stays secret even in the commercial industry very long. Going pro has a lot more to do with procees and marketing than a super secret special recipe.

It's nice for less experienced brewers to see what works and learn how to create their own based on trusted recipes that are peer reviewed.

Something that would be a great learning exercise would be for members to brew some of those recipes and have them judged or tasted again to see how they differed as well.

Not that my beers are any good, but I am in the habit of listing the ingredients on my bottle labels.
It is useful at a tasting when someone asks 'WTF did you put in that!'. I then point at the label O0

Cheers. Looks good, might add it to the list. Quick question though are the measured gravities, etc accurate or just the BS default?

Actually sorry here's another question Helmet. Was it really only 15 IBUs? How does an 15 IBU Black IPA win a gold medal?

Sorry, I never adjusted the gravity readings. OG was 1065 and FG was 1018.
As for the IBU, I couldn't tell you. Like I say I'm new to BS and may well have fupped something up along the way.

Bitter enough anyway! I just ran the numbers again and it came in at 47.
