I only entered 1 beer, and it was a spice beer. I didnt win anything, but I didnt expect to either. All I wanted was my score sheet to say it was good at best.
Well, that didn't happen. I got an average score of 17. 2 score sheets, and 1 judge said it was infected. I guess I need to take a look at my cleaning process. What is a good cheap cleaner that I can use before StarSan? I have PBW, but that is $$$$.
He also said it fermented at too high of a temp. IIRC, it was in the low 70's. How can I keep the beer fermenting at a lower temp with out buying a mini fridge?
I know I shouldn't be upset about it, but I can't help but feel a little sad. I liked the beer and thought it was great, but I've been brewing only for 1.5 years so I know I'm still really new to this.
