Thanks for all this. I have to admit, being used to writing tasting notes for wine was a big help. That and a huge slice of luck  :D And thanks to Padraic and Tube/Dube for organizing everything.

So Kevin does this mean the boss is gonna give you a raise. Congrats by the way. Not everyone knows you schooled the Porterhouse lads in everything they know about beer. ;)

Next Capital brewers meet will have Kevin sitting at the top of the table and when he decides to speak about a homebrew, a deafening silence will occur.  :)

I assume people have got their documentation in the post? I found the feedback on my judging comments quite useful.

Yep, shiny badge an' all! The feedback was a little embarrassing at times, but I needed to hear it. Going to constructively appraise a few beers tonight:

"...you apparently had issues with scoring some of the styles presented, [...] practice tasting (the fun part!) and scoring beers will certainly help."

Who am I to argue with the BJCP?
