Beer, not rocket chemistry
I received my second round score sheets yesterday from the second round. The RIS received a 38.5, the American Stout scored 39, and the fruit beer received a 24. The fruit beer (Raspberry Imperial Stout) picked up a secondary infection some where along the line and developed a severe diacytle character. So now I will work to track that down. The same beer, bottled at the same time, took gold in a recent comp. with not diacytle detected. But last night when I sampled the source keg I could pick it up. So I need to review my sanitation practices - they will get you every time!
