Lager than life competition

[Deadhead]

Has anyone seen any breakdowns of numbers or anything?

You mean like there was for NHC, this?

Have asked LAB if they have something similar.

 

[Deadhead]

Doesn’t need to be so fancy, just wondering if there was anything on how tables were organised, etc

I’ll see if the organiser can put something out.

Not sure if you saw the image below. It’s really about prizes but does show table numbers for styles.

Thanks!

Well done @Alastair70 and @nickjdavis

Cheers @YeastFace ! Hope there weren’t too many watching the live feed, i’d put in a solid afternoon appraising the competition. I may have let myself down

Just logged onto the portal. Super surprised that my pilsner scored a .....45 but no placing

 

[Deadhead]

Boy, I'm really curious now about what the heck happened to mine, as it only scored a 21... Hrmmmmmmm - Would like that feedback sheet....

Well done Alistair70!

F**k me, I wasn’t happy with the Vienna and expected the NZ Pils to do better.

 

[Leon103]

There she is.
Not sure what else I could have done.

 

[YeastFace]

On the desktop webpage do you have a tick against Mini-BOS?

The winner of your table won the overall BOS at UKNHC so assume it was just a really strong table.

A brilliant score so don't take anything away from that!

 

[Alastair70]

The NZ Pils only scored 19!!
I’m sorry, I’ll admit I’m not overly familiar with the style and I was working off a clone recipe. But to my taste, the brew was executed without flaws beyond stylistic transgressions. Again, I’m not familiar enough with the style. But a crystal clear pilsner with no off flavours in my book starts at 30.

Well done @Alastair70 for your result and also to @nickjdavis for placing first on his table.

Commiserations @Leon103 , just the luck of the draw. On another day…

 

[Alastair70]

@dave_77. I really liked you Italian Pils. There was a lot of heavy lifting from the hops on that brew, I’ll swap your score sheet for a couple of bottles of my entries.

 

[Deadhead]

I'm drinking this beer I entered now and I can't quite tell what would make it score so badly. Maybe an issue with that bottle - I was having issues with my capper that day - had a right hard time getting them on the bottles I had, so maybe some oxidisation or something.

Was the same table as rich Williams again with his NHC winning beer. Would like to see his score

Jack and I shared some of both our entries with others who were there. They didn’t taste that different to what I’m pouring at home. What I would say is the overall standard of all the beers on offer was outstanding and small flaws really stood out amongst the field.

Darn that Dudes Brews lol

In all fairness I do think the same people winning all the time is a bit shitty.
