How do you guys bottle a saison for a competition that requires "12 oz unmarked bottles only. Any other size bottles or bottles with markings will be automatically disqualified and entry fee will not be refunded"?
Do these comps not want quality, appropriately carbed saisons? or do judges just know to expect lower levels of carbonation? What's the deal? Let's face it, the carbonation affects the appearance, mouthfeel and flavor of a beer, affecting your score in three categories. Honestly, it could affect aroma as there aren't as many of those little guys bubbling up to the surface carrying that beautiful aroma with them...
Does anybody know of any pressure-resistant unmarked bottles for this purpose.
I'm not sure of it matters, but I keg and bottle-condition my saisons, so I'm open to any number of methods.
