I often read threads on here about some of you folks that enter these various competitions and such. It seems that for the most part, they bottle from kegs? Is this the norm? Is it not acceptable to enter naturally carb'd brew to be judged?
If one does send a naturally carb'd brew.....do the judges tend to score them lower? Do the the hosts of the competition make sure the brew is chilled beforehand, and the yeast settled prior to the judging? If they simply pull it out of the box it was shipped in, and throw it on the table....one would expect naturally carb'd brews to automatically take a hit on clarity?
I'm just wondering......I've never done such a thing, and am kind of curious as to how this works.
