Shame Bottomland didn't get to him before he submitted the beers, then LA would have 4 clubs represented, as opposed to him listing his club from Boston.

Got my scores back from Austin.

My peanut butter chocolate stout managed a 32 in the specialty beer category (23A), and the feedback hit the nail on the head. It needs more chocolate and a darker color. I agree completely. This batch wasn't as good as previous ones.

However, my coffee vanilla porter fared very well in 12B, getting a 38.5. I still think it's the best beer I've brewed, and I'm very happy with that score. It advanced to a mini-BOS round. Very pleased with the results from that one.

Anybody else get their scoresheets?

So i bottled my 3rd Prime IPA after generously dry hopping for 5 days. Has a very strong citrus aroma to it, and a bright citrus taste.

Anyone know of any homebrew competitions i can enter that judge within 1 month?

Can't see that at work. I did see the mellow mushroom one in covington, but don't believe my beer will be ready in time.

Just want to mail this one out to a competition that is judging in about 3 weeks.

Deadlines for a lot of early May competitions have ended or are ending in the next week...

Hogtown Brewoff in Ganesville FL has a competition in late may and their entry window hasn't opened yet.

What kind of freedom-hater do you work for? And I think the one coming up in covington is just spiced/vegetable beers.

When picking a competition to ship to, I wouldn't pick anything where the beer will be in transit more than two days.

You also want to make sure that when you ship it won't sit in a truck over the weekend.

Good luck

May look into this one. I have 2 to submit, the trick is finding competitions with the correct styles (saison, IPA) and that judge within the right time.

BTW, my saison i brewed a few months back is getting a lot of good feedback from mavens/non-mavens alike. My brother in law wants me to brew it, so he can put it on tap at his house, when it is finished being built.

The MKOB has two competitions, one actual competition, the other is the crazy beer one. So he could submit to the normal one.

Is that the mellow mushroom one? I looked into it, and can only find the entry website for the fruit beers.
