Yeah those Milwaukee guys like the 3 sessions. I actually like it too. Keeps people busy, as there can be too much downtime at comps. You also get to recycle your judges so you dont need as many newbies/inexperienced. yes, the downside is you can get more fatigued. I was pretty spent...

Send me a PM with your name and I'll look into it. Thanks.

The system will not allow you to judge a category you entered in. I'm pretty sure it recognizes a cobrewer too, but I will look into that. Important note - if for some odd reason you get a beer you brewed, or even know who brewed it, you need to stop and tell an official. This is rare but it...

You'll be fine.

Hey Kurt - sorry you couldn't get your beer ready in time. On the plus side, there are a few more competitions in the area in the coming months. As for the DMC, we are always looking for volunteers. Specifically, Stewards and qualified Judges. Check out this link for information on...
