Cut off to register and drop off an entry to our local homebrew competition is this Saturday. I have a 6 pk of my saison left. Think it is worth throwing one in for shiggles?

Hell yea man. Worth it just for a serious critique and maybe pointers

It just seems so serious and my beers are nowhere near the quality of other homebrewers. The entry form has all this extra info to fill out, why can't I just say "it was spoda be a saison"?

They are more on the serious note, but its still ok going into it thinking its still only beer. At the worst, they don't like it and offer you tips or pointers, at the best you win an award before me.

Do I need to fill that **** out or can I just mark it as a saison and let it fly? I've never done this. I didn't put anything crazy in it, I don't think... unless they're asking for type of yeast or something.

"It's beer."

Or list what grains, hops, and yeast you used.

Or draw a picture of a d!ck or something.

I can't make that out at all lol. No way to zoom in.

Pic is too small to read, but typically extra info is only required for certain styles (herb/spice/veg beer, meads, etc) where you need to tell them what the base style and/or special ingredient is. Should tell you somewhere if it's required or not.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Too small.. or because I cut it off?

It says the style I placed it in, requires specific type or special ingredients... Isn't **** special about it other than it doesn't suck.

What style?

Finishing the second pour of this, leftover from last night. Still good.

"eight equals equals capital-dee tilde tilde tilde "

Ah, BJCP says you have to specify the strength (table, standard, super) and color (pale, dark)

It also defines ranges for SRM and ABV

Finally lunch time. Took a walk to enjoy the weather. Really hoping I can brew on Saturday, depends on work and if I actually go to my hb club meeting.

[BGBC]

Ugh, have to do everything for you...

Vital Statistics: OG: 1.048 – 1.065 (standard)
IBUs: 20 – 35 FG: 1.002 – 1.008 (standard)
SRM: 5 – 14 (pale) , 15 – 22 (dark)
ABV: 3.5 – 5.0% (table)
5.0 – 7.0% (standard)
7.0 – 9.5% (super)

I'm guessing yours is a standard pale. Prob what 75% of the entries would be.

 

[Psylocide]

Standard, pale.

You're welcome!

 

[BGBC]

Also, those pics look fine on the mobile app, but tiny on the desktop version. Weird.

Took dag for 20min jogwalk and now drinking helles and tv dinner enchilladers. Debating on leaving him out of crate or not. Doubt that exercising did enough but maybe...

Don't do it, back into the crate with him!

 

[BreezyBrew]

Interesting Tank 7 is listed as an example. Lots of Amarillo and American hops in there.

Sorry, never entered a comp. before and figured this was a good place to ask.
Didn't know wtf they were referring to, not a bjcp and have never read into things.

Ive said all along that all of my saisons are super. I was actually correct.

Good luck in the comp, CAD.

 

[iijakii]

Against my better judgment Im going to let him stay out of it! Moved as much stuff as I can, wrastled a bit more to wear him out... we'll see.

How many more shoes have to die?

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Beer from the DuffMan and keg from Love2Brew received and put away! Now to just finish this awful day.

One bright spot was that I gave the pup a bath at lunch. As soon as we started up the stairs, she ran ahead and down the hall, nosed open the bathroom door and jumped in the tub and waited for me. I've never had a dog who didn't fight tooth & nail against a bath. This is nice.

Just spent the last few minutes blissfully freely skimming another thread only to find at the very end one of my favorite bits of @psylocide creativity. Thanks mate. Gave me a good giggle again. The brolly, ffs, a little brolly. I was quite a happy camper that day. Slightly refreshed and very relaxed.

Best of luck @theCADjockey in the comp

(I'm literally just catching up irregardless of if I was pacifically asked to do so).

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Hi

 

[iijakii]

How many more shoes have to die?

They're all locked up in the garage. I just hope no carpet or walls or something have to die.

 

[TheCADJockey]

I may not enter. I clearly have no clue wtf is going on.
Thanks though.
