two years ago I had a standard cider come in 3rd in the first round, out of 7 entries, but it made mini-bos in the finals and was 5th, out of the 36 final round entries, which was far better in my opinion ( though not 'officially' an improvement ) IMO, the judging at the second round is...

Mike I thought you were giving up Big Trophy Hunting after your New England cider won it all in 2017? I hope to see you in Providence this year, ill be bringing a keg or two of cider for club night - dont think Ill make GLINTCAP though, new job is not quite as flexible as the old one

Boston judging is finished, not sure when the results will be up. We had some awesome judges from many other New England and New York clubs come, as well as judges from Sam Adams and other breweries in the area. I can say I had the pleasure of being paired up with the AHA competition...

The Pineapple Weissbier sounds delish! I hope you sent it to Boston!!!

To make excellent blackberry cider I suggest the following simple method I have personally used.. Make a 5 gallon batch of dry base cider using nothing but juice, when its done fermenting keg it and then add just two 12 oz cans of Original Sin Black Widow - this will perfectly flavor, color...

Sorting day was exhausting - by the way, but we managed not to break anything. One guy shipped beers all the way from Norway!!

Congrats Mylar, what was your entry, we had some world class judges leading the pack- your cider (with a 38) would have been a silver medal at Glintcap - which is really, really good!

You can absolutely enter that, under specialty cider C2F C2F. Specialty Cider/Perry This is an open-ended category for cider or perry with other ingredients such that it does not fit any of the categories above. This includes the use of other sweeteners. A cider with added honey may be entered...

Huge news, Nicole Leibon from Farnum Hill will be judging Cider at Boston Homebrew Competition next month . She is one of the best judges in the country if not the world. Normally you have to enter Ciders at Glintcap to get this level of judging and then it’s $20-$60 per entry. So send your...
