    Competitions, take em with a grain of salt?

    How does one mark off I would drink a pint of this beer and give a score of 2 in overall impression..Excuse me whilst I bang my head against a hard surface. I am starting to think that they are pulling random strangers off the street for judging home brew competitions.

    Chicago shipping location NHC.

    For those of you that shipped your entries to Chicago for the NHC , did you ship to Nevins? That is what I had on my bottle entry forms and it was delivered but on the comp website it says to ship to brew and grow. Did I make a goof?

    Prickly pear saison gone wrong.

    Scratching my head on this beer and may very well dump it. This will be my second dumper of 80+ batches and its a real bummer. My girlfriend wanted a Saison with a fruit addition so I decided why not use prickly pear since I rarely do fruit beers, great idea?. Recipe was around 90% pils and...

    Death in the family.

    My keezer compressor died Saturday afternoon. She lived a good 3 years but leaving a temp probe outside the keezer a few days prior may have been the last straw. Now I have beers carbing at 65F in wait for a new home. On the bright side I always wanted to build a coffin keezer, just not in a...

    Tasting a 16 oz. E&B 1960 pilsner whilst brewing.

    So a guy from my home brew club went to an estate sale and picked up a case of E&B from the 60's. Figured I would give it a try and it is from the 60's thats for sure. Sherry nose but nice caramel flavor, really thin but has a nutty finish.

    Water profile for hoppy saison.

    Wondering if I should adjust my water tilted more towards an IPA mineral base. I build my water from distilled and on saisons I am usually pretty conservative just using enough calcium to get in pH range. It has also been awhile since I have brewed an IPA and I really want the hops to come...
