Re: Garrison Comp
Hmm so both the #1 and #2 beers did a decoction and both had awesome head retention. Not much of a sample size but it checks out.

Hrm... I think I know which judge said that! haha. I can remember that beer quite well actually. One of the small handful of beers that I actually drank the whole sample. It was one of my favourites of the day. Well done!GuingesRock wrote:I’ll try to behave next time …always was a bit of a rebel“I would drink this all night but not to style for this comp.

Really good score sheets/feedback. Nice and friendly too. Thanks very much judges.

#2 was a step-mash according to the maker. Just sayin'.CorneliusAlphonse wrote:Hmm so both the #1 and #2 beers did a decoction and both had awesome head retention. Not much of a sample size but it checks out.

I'm sensing a cover up. There's a Midas touch coming from somewhere. Is it the rabbits? Kirsten is being awfully quiet about this.redoubt wrote: This is the 5th brew we've done.
Yes, BIAB.
Secret? *shrugs* Tried a few new things with this. Step mash. Used gyle (unfermented wort) instead of priming sugar. First one-stage fermentation as well (all in a carboy).

Re: Garrison Comp
Hey folks
What a great night at Garrisons. First and second beers were fantastic!
My average score in the first round was 42. The last round I was picked apart, average score was 35.
I think I should have made this beer two weeks later. It really lost a lot in the end.
Met a bunch of really nice people. You guys know how to have a good time!

It was you that recommended to redoubt they should join the Brewnosers. What’s their secret? It’s the rabbits ...right?

Re: Garrison Comp
The pleasure is all mine Mark! It so great having so many passionate home brewers in the Valley. It's also great having the brewnosers. This forum is a great resource for brewers new and old.
Keely and Kirsten are fast learners! Alway have a new book each time I see them! Passion for brewing at it's best!

Re: Garrison Comp
Congrats to everyone! I ended up with third. Not bad considering the 1st and 2nd place winners! I was disappointed with the Weizen I had left for sharing though. The long bumpy trip from Fredericton must have really shook the hell out of the 1/3rd of a full keg. It tasted much better at home off my tap more carbonated and well rounded. I think next time I'll bottle condition. It was a great time hope to see you there next year.

Re: Garrison Comp
In that case... Yes, Mark, there *is* a big secret. Huge secret, in fact. Might even change the course of brewing forever. We should get right on this.GuingesRock wrote:That's it! I'm getting Kirsten drunk (done it before) then I'll get the full story about this.

I will drain that glass again.

I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe
