I think I have a Plato one I got from Greg's group buy.

Remind me and I'll give it to you.

Sandy

Only if you are not using it Sandy. I'd love to have it, but in trade for the keg you are getting.

Thanks.

Free to a user. 0-8 scale.

Are you at Stillwell Sat?

Sandy

[GuingesRock]

No, I have to go to a course up here on Saturday at the Old O.

[GAM]

I have 2 meetings this weekend and will not make it down.

I'm off next Friday if that can work for you.

I can take the kegs too.

Sandy

[GuingesRock]

Are you going to the thing at Acadia next Friday. I think Derek is coming down next Friday to pick up the kegs. HE said he was picking them all up, including yours.

[GAM]

I haven't got "buy in" from Margaret yet.

If he gets there first great.

Let me know if you are heading down. I was only going for kegs.

I can also bring all the small kegs to Halifax on Sat Nov 1st and be at Stillwells with them at 12.00 noon. I'm coming to HFX that day.

If Sandy doesn't do down, ALex and I will be down next weekend.

That wheat beer, I sent it to two competitions that were going on at the same time. I got my score sheets back from Winnipeg already. Two judges scored it, one with a score of 25/50 and one with a score of 29, they didn't like it, too hop forward for style, not enough wheat. You can easily beat that.

That same beer got a silver at the other comp. I don't have the sheets back but they must have liked it better.

I said before, you make great beer and I think you' will do very well with your beer if you start sending it off. I wouldn't be surprised at all if you got the Big Spruce thing. It's brewer enthusiasm that's the key to good beer, and that's what Keith does best.

Guess what! the silver medal judges score sheets came back from Members of Barleyment, on the American Wheat, one gave 38 points and the other 36. The 38 point judge said (exact words) "Excellent beer! very refreshing. Would benefit from slightly higher hop aroma & flavour"

It's all good fun.

Congrats...

I'm so confused lol

I'm more lost than a 2 year old putting on a coat

[LeafMan66_67]

The thread has strayed a bit, but G-Rock's last comment notes that I enjoy set of judges said jus Wheat beer could use more hops while the other group noted he was too Hop Forward. Makes it tough to know what to send in as judging is subjective and based on interpretation.

[GuingesRock]

Judge your own beer, the best you can, and hope that someone, someday, will agree with you.

A camel is a horse designed by a committee.

Imagine the 2 year old putting on the coat with 10 different people telling him/her how it should be done. The smart 2 year old will listen to what everyone has to say and pick the advice that makes the most sense.

It's the most strayed thread I've seen. Changed the title.

[jacinthebox]

Mark, sorry for sending this sideways...I was just mindscrewed by the judges (selfish reasons lol)...

[GuingesRock]

I fully understand. Going sideways is great, just going is good too, whatever direction. It's just an OMFG thread any way.
