Since the competition management aspects of the site are not available unless you create a competition, I created a video to quickly demonstrate the competition management functionality. Let me know your thoughts. http://brewscene.com/manage-competition-functionality-overview/ Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion CA_Mouse. I also will be adding functionality for organizers to contact the judges/stewards who volunteered from the previous year's competition to remind them about the current year's competition and request their services again. Additionally, plan to add...

Absolutely! It's a great idea and is definitely on the to-do list. I'd like to send reminders x number of weeks in advance of the competition date to remind homebrewers they need to start brewing if they want to be able to enter a beer. I'd also like to send reminders the week of or day...

Hi fellow homebrewers! My name is Ed. I started entering homebrew competitions a few years ago. Through the process of entering beers into a number of competitions, I realized, from an entrant’s perspective, homebrew competitions are disconnected and it is impossible to see a complete...

I just recently made a rye imperial stout that came out pretty well. My base grains were ~60% 2 row and ~25% rye malt. I don't have any experience using crystal rye malt so I can't say if your recipe will get you what you are after or not. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

The "Can I Mash It?" calculator in the link below will help you evaluate how much grain and water a mash tun can hold. http://www.rackers.org/calcs.shtml A 5 gallon cooler should be good for you in most cases and if you are brewing a beer that needs more grain than your tun can hold, there is...

When are you adding your dme? When I extract brew, I always add DME during the boil (either right at the beginning of the boil or later). If you add dme during this time, I would add it to the water and not the other way around. It would be dangerous to add boiling water to dme. Let me know...
