Scottish Craft Brewers Compeititon - January 2016

Post by edonald774 » Mon Nov 02, 2015 2:58 pm

Hey guys,

thought I'd put the web address for our annual competition up for anyone in the Scottish region who fancied entering.
http://scottishcraftbrewers.org/?p=1591

We accept entries from members and non members alike, however as we are a small club we don't accept postal entries so it's probably more interesting to folk who will be in the area that day to come along.

Thanks
Eli

Yeah I have, but.......

I didn't have any 500 ml bottles come bottling (thought I did).

I assume 5x330's isn't allowed ?

So yesterday was our club annual competition and my first since I got the Braumeister.

I came away with;
Gold for Ordinary Bitter
Gold for English IPA
Bronze for English IPA
and
Silver for American Pale Ale

Apparently I was just pipped at the post for the Best in Show too

Chuffed.

Magic stuff, well done.

Have you found your beers to be of a better quality since moving to the Braumeister ?

What set up did you have previously ?

Hey Tuffty,
I don't know if I could say that my beers are better since getting the Braumeister. My brew days are quicker with less cleaning.

Before I had the standard 30 litre boiler and picnic mash tun. Worked perfectly well, I was just lucky enough to be able to get a shiny.

Cool.

Might look to invest in the future as they look very impressive.

Any limitations at all with them ?
