So before I emailed a handful of judges and annoyed them, I thought I would post this question here. I recently entered my first local home brew competition, looking for some unbiased feed back, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I noticed going over the score sheets that the judges emails were provided and I was wondering, is there a protocol for emailing them? If I do send them an email, should my questions be geared towards their judging process or can I ask them for suggestions? For example, on one sheet, the suggestion was to try and finish the Saison a bit drier, fair enough, but my final gravity finished at 1.004, and I'm wondering how I could get it even lower. Is this an appropriate question to email a judge about?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
