Melbourne Brewers Beerfest, 2013

Thanks. Whoever Mikko is he must be very proud...if there were three judges he averaged nearly 45 out of 50 from each one. That's gotta be one hell of an impressive beer.

I was one of the lucky ones to judge this, the whole flight was very good.

by memory we had 1 with brett (I don't mind brett but in a strong lager probably not right ), 1 totally flat, and one with some fermentation issues, the rest all good tasty beers.

All grain brewer from Bayside Club. He got 44, 44 and 45 from the 3 judges. Yes - he is VERY Happy.

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to the club for organising and running the comp.

I am still very new to comps so I have no point of reference to personally compare against. Can someone tell me what is considered a reasonablebe/good score?

Should I be happy with a 97 for my Stout?

yep,

betweeen 33 and 39 is a very good beer

between 25 - 32 is a good beer

So 97 divides by 3 judges give me and average 32.333.

Puts it on the verge of "very good".

I can be happy with that.

Westgate didn't have any representatives this year . There are several reasons .
Some off us have young families.its a long way to go for a weekend of beer. There is a fair chance my wife would soon get weary of caring for our son whilst I imbibed.
Also , and don't take this the wrong way , some of our older members are over going all that way..and their wives have expressed displeasure that there is nothing to do....
Also , Westgate have it's club meeting on the third Sunday of each month . That was yesterday . It always clashes...we moved it a couple of times but in the end decided that wed stick with our usual date .
Whilst several of our bjcp judges have judged in the past , they have also expressed that time , distance etc play are part in it...
Anyway , I await the judges feedback...
Thanks Melbourne brewers...

Can I suggest you add a little cement to your next mash - it might help you to harden up.

 

[koots]

Stoked on quick results! Do we get scoresheets via the commander website too breaking down our scores for us?

There was several posts alluding to the fact that other brew clubs were not there...I have a reason or two why Westgate were not . Explain why I need to harden up ?

What if we supplied a jumping castle and some knitting needles? (and something for the wives and kiddies too)

... sorry... (Just piss taking Ferg)

@Koots, I may stand corrected but I think we need to wait for the hard copies in the mail, I know feedback forms were scanned though so I'm not 100% on it. (still no scoresheets on Compmaster as yet)

edits bracketed

 

[rich_lamb]

Sorry ferg, lacked a bit of subtlety - put it down to me being tired.

Basically I read your post and was thinking to myself "so what's different for us?". It's not really that far for a Saturday outing, and loads of us have small families too (including me). Just niggles a bit since a lot of us make an effort to help out at the comps for the other clubs, which we are happy to do, because we're into sharing the experience.

yes, that may take a week or 2, generally it's before the mail out.
