Hi all
I just got my feedback sheets from Beerfest for the recipe below. I would be interested to know what should be tweaked to take into account the judges feedback
From my own assessment I will drop the Licorice and Orange to start with - it has added nothing discernable to the beer. (to be honest it was a bit of a folly anyway)
Judges comments
Your advice on how to improve this recipe next time would be greatly appreciated
