My club had a discussion on a topic that is intriguing and I wanted to get a concensus of people in this forum.
The topic was Blending for purposes of making a killer brew that win's awards in BJCP contests.
Do you think that blended beers should be allowed to win categories other than blended beer or do you feel that blending is cheating?
Blending your homebrew with intentions to improve a batch of beer is not a bad thing and I am sure is done somewhat frequently. However, blending to enter contests and winning is another topic. If a brewer brews a beer to style and wins, is s/he a better brewer than someone who missed the mark, blends with another beer, and wins the category with the blended creation?
Who do you consider to be the better brewer?
