2017 National Brewing Championships

[wallacebiy]

I'll be opening my last bottles of my competition beers this Friday at a tasting .


Curious to see what happened , as the beers described in my scoresheets don't seem to match at all with the beers I made .

Drink it too fast.

Where's the unthank button?

I thought you were at work - no access to anything non-American!

I see a project on the horizon for RasPi and a couple of Solenoids and sensors...

I you don't ask you shall not recieve 

I don't suppose the dates of the competition  can be changed .....as in held during summer months, as trying to brew for comp over xmass is disaster. No time.
But anyways worth asking.

Hi Beerbuddha,

That sentiment has come up a lot recently and I believe will be put forward at the AGM this year.

Great suggestion, would be in favour of that too 👍

Was mentioned before, people are on hols and hot spells in April and May June cause havoc as we learnt hard way in comp held in August in GCB  🤢

I agree, its very hard for people that don't have limited controls on temperature.

Maybe move comp back a few weeks to April. Some people have time off over Xmas and most have very quite month of January.

What ever dates are picked will never suit everybody.

I think the current date is perfect with lots of time off over Xmas to brew for it.

I think Xmas is a good time to get brewing for the Nationals but I know others travel over the Xmas holidays and others have different priorities.

I will be away next Xmas so I won't be able to brew for the Nationals.

As Blueshed said, there is no way to please all the people all the time.

Depends what you're entering, I think my RIS was brewed back in July last year.

Beers that need to be cold like Lagers and Pales can suffer at competition time if the weather temp is warm and (Rainy). I am happy to see it move too but this year we had great service from Sallins with good temperature control but not so with Alfie's. Alfie's were great hosts but the storage place for the beers was not very cold and would be warmer later in the year

We just need to move the whole competition to Lock 13 next year!
