Home Brew Comp WTF!

[Brewing_In_MKE]

It's fun sorting beers for a competition, isn't it? I tell you what...opening and sorting hundreds of beers sure changed my opinion about a lot of competition rules.

I totally agree with that. My fantasy rules:

22 oz bottles are getting tossed
odd shapped bottles like negra modelo, toss!
people that can't use automated entry systems and hand write their bottle labels, and some how expect to be entered into the comp computer system -TOSS!
People who can't rubber band a bottle label to the bottle - TOSS!
People who send odd numbers of bottles - TOSS!

I am sure there are more I could come up with.

Agreed!

Hey MKE,

How did they store the entries that were dropped at NBMKE? Were they kept temp controlled?

Just wondering, and got side tracked at NB and forgot to ask. Would have entered no matter what, just wondering.

Also, will result details be posted to BBM's website? I wanted to be there but my wife has family in town

HEY, at least there wasn't any @#$%^&*() tape on it!

or packaging peanuts!

or packaging peanuts!

I have to say that I use corn starch packing peanuts. Which would you prefer: old ratty t-shirts or packing peanuts?

[crupp]

While I greatly appreciate your dedication to the environment, bubble wrap. I reuse the stuff I get from our competition, so i have quite a stock. I know they seem like a good idea, but packaging peanuts are a tremendous pita for organizers...
Just my two cents...

Perhaps the wrapping is a commentary to the quality of beer within the bottle.
