    I'm interested to compare score and feedback to that of the National, and from my local club. The scores from both were bang on.

    Bottling a Quad - should I have added yeast?

    I just bottled a quad (came out a little low at 9.8%). Just cleaned up and it occured to me, should I have used yeast for bottling too as it's a strong beer? I guess I'll find out in a year or so, but anyone think it'll be ok? I'm worried it won't carb.

    Beer taps and towers.

    Similarly, having used both types, I would go with the NukaTap option.

    Gas Ball Lock

    Which do you currently have? What makes you think they're past their best? Have you checked the o-rings on the post to see if they are the cause of any issues you may have found? I don't have any metal ones myself. I have had a grey/red KegLand one leak at high (40psi) pressure.

    Keeping CO2 level...

    Personally, I leave gas connected having checked for leaks with a spray bottle. It's not difficult to detect or resolve leaks if found. That way you.can hook it up to gas and forget about it.

    Peach and Green Tea sour

    In case anyone has similar questions, this is what I ended up doing (I never brewed it last year. Finally got round to it). Make 1L of green tea at 80°C using 50 tea bags (100g). Remove tea bags and add the tea to the keg, along with 200g of Funkin Peach Puree. Rack beer on top, seal, add...

    I was pleased to score 37 for my American Light Lager - my highest ever score (I've only sent about 6 beers off to comps), and it did 8 points better than the original recipe at last years competition. Doubling the amount of yeast really helped as I only used one packet last year while...

    Scottish National Homebrew Competition 2024

    Well done everyone! Mixed results for me. A very poorly performing Golden Ale (I think I know the source of the fault at least) and a reasonable Belgian Blonde. Regardless of my scores, I always feel highly motivated after getting feedback from comps.
