In other homebrewing news, my german pils scored a 33. Not great but not terrible. Common theme was "not enough hop character". I followed a traditional german pils recipe so i'll up the hops on all my pils next time.
My West Coast IPA scored a staggering 25/50. Lowest score i think i've ever received. For both beers, i got comments about low carbonation. I bottled these directly from the tap, so that may be the issue. Also, some of the notes stated "needs more hop aroma". I used more hops in this IPA than in any IPA i've ever made. It was a pliny clone, but i reduced the ABV. Had about 5-6 oz. in the dry hop, 6 oz. in the whirlpool, and 5 oz. or so in the boil. I think most of these issues are due to low carb.
I'll be brewing an Octoberfest today with 34/70 Saflager yeast. Also have some bootleg biology yeast coming in some time later this month or next month, and i'll be brewing up a Czech Pilsner.

What are you submitting too? i have always wantd to just never done it.
as far as my hops the main vines has a ton of cones but the heat killed them all... but the past 2 weeks a have a ton of laterals coming off. i think i needed to harvest those cones that flowered but they just burned up.

I didn't think a German pils was supposed to be hop foward? Why would you need more hop character for a traditionally malt forward beer.
