I enetered 8 contests with the same beer. Bottled all at the same time.
I soak in Iodophor for 5 minutes, then purge with CO2, then cap with aluminum foil.
I then fill with the Beer Gun (and purge again with CO2 before filling). My SWMBO caps on foam. Caps are also soaked in Iodophor for at least 10 minutes.
I use 18 ppm Iodophor (I split the difference between 12 and 24)
Results:
2 - 1sts
1 - 2nd
2 - 3rds
My scores have ranged from 42 to 13.
WTF ???
I still had 3 from the batch I bottled. They were all fine.
Are contests run this shabbily, or is there something else I should be looking at.
