Re: Big Spruce Homebrew Challenge 2017
Just spoke with another Brewer who had what appeared to be a pellicle on his beer, bottled it and got the same thing in the bottle.
He didn't submit

Oh I sure did.
I did the exact recipe for the December exchange. The 3711 saison yeast blows it out of the water. However I did dial back on the blackberry.

Re: Big Spruce Homebrew Challenge 2017
Funny that the judges noted that the yeast perhaps wasn't a good one for a Saison.
They are right because I relied on just the given yeast for the brew.
Either way they scored me higher than I thought the beer deserved. I can't get through a glass and they gave it a 31!
Good job to you guys! I can't wait to try big spruces iteration of yours if they can pull it off hahha

Tapatalk is bullshit btw. Double posts me all time, doesn't update posts for days. Sometimes the text box to respond isn't there.
I'll make posts and then they don't show up

Congrats to the winners! What a fun event. Really pleased with the detailed, helpful feedback. But heck, the bacon-wrapped scallops alone would have made the trip worth it.

Re: Big Spruce Homebrew Challenge 2017
I'm always game to share great beer. Come down every night in December if you want lol. I'm around tomorrow if Eric needs a place to drop beer. I can't be held responsible for any beer that drains itself before reaching final destination though
