Actually we normally get them sent the day of the comp

Well done getting them out so quick, I know it's a ball ache.

Glad to see you popped your comp cherry as well loads more comps  now in next 12 months just try not to fix it that they are all NCB winners next time

What a great day and great venue for a competition.

A huge thanks to 'Spoons and all who made this such a well organized and smoothly running competition.

As mentioned above the standard of entries was incredibly high.

After the competition there was the craft fair so more drink to be taken.

Great day out

Thanks again

Will

Are all the scoresheets uploaded? I don't see a scoresheet for a Weiss.

People that were there on the day were able to take away their score-sheets.

Great stuff lads, rapid response!

Great to see them up so promptly.

Need to back to the drawing board to improve my bottling (need to practise with that beergun again ;)).

Great day, V well organised lads, lovely venue (sorry I couldnt stay).

My bottling is a carbonation cap with a rubber bung. A real pain to do, but seems to keep the carbonation. The Vienna was bottled 2 weeks ago with that technique.

Great feedback given. I think I can make the necessary changes to the beer to change it from a 33 score to a medal winner
fermenting - peach wheat, mango wheat

drinking - whiskey stout

Well done to the winners and everyone involved in running the competition, great to see such an efficient organisation at work!

My American/Slovenian IPA scored a 38. I'm quite happy with that considering these were hops I had never used before and the recipe was literally thrown together while I was heating water for the mash  ;D


Any chance that the scores of the beers from people who attended the comp and got their scoreheets on the day could be posted?  I'd like to see where I finished overall (Didn't know I had a competitive streak until I started entering brewing comps)


Leann ull

Not all were posted as they were collected in person but I was helping in the organisation and I can tell you 38 was well up there there was only 2 in the 40s
Means nothing of course for BOS which is just a beauty show.
Top 6 beers get lined against the wall and three judges dump the ugly friends

Very good feedback from the judges. Based on what was said on the scoresheets I reckon moving 5g of hops from 60 to 0 mins would put my IPA closer to a medal

Most important thing was your beer was carbed and served at correct temp
