Does anyone every hold HBT member only competitions? I didn't notice any and the barley wine seemed to be a swap.
Just curious!
Just curious!
There has not been anything like that yet.
I think there are 1 or 2 BJCP judges on here.
I don't know about any certified judges but several of the mashers live in metro detroit...we get together once and awhile....
How do you plan on doing somehting like this, it seems like it would be unwheildy...seems like members would be attempting to (illegally) ship beer across the country....it's not like there's a central base of "vets" where the traditional 2 beers would be sent.....
It might be worth considering doing an HBT comp to happen at the same time as NHC or the GABF, where a bunch of members will be....last year for nhc you had a ton of the vets...like a lot of the mods in one place (they even had a webcast for club night that a lot of us watched....
Hbt had a booth.....If I were setting up something like this, I would find out which "vets" were going to NHC, and if they were having a booth again...and select the judges from THAT pool...find out who would accept the shipments and bring them (preferably a member who lived in whatever city that NHC was happenning in) then have the judging one day at NHC, and even have it happenning on mogulus...
I mean...I'd be honored to judge...but since we're scattered around the world, it seems unwhieldy...I don't wanna be a downer..
It's just that in my experience on here, a lot of these kinda things end up being way to complex to pull off......
But I'll take a look at the thread, and see what you guys have to say about this....
Thanks for thinking of me...if there's a way I'd love to be one of the civilian judges ..THough I doubt I will be able to swing going to NHC or GABF this year..
I have some thoughts on this but I'm not able to post a lengthy discussion of it right now. Some thisngs to consider and discuss.
1) HBT is a AHA registered club, so you currently can enter any AHA / BJCP comp and list HomeBrewTalk Brewers as your club.
2) Most of the comps I know of either lose money or break even. There are a great deal of ticky tack costs that add up.
More later.
Are you texting and eating Sushi ALREADY my friend????
How about picking an existing competition as HBT supported. A group could send to that competition and then share the results from the score sheets here in a dedicated thread.
So what are some thoughts on how it would work.
We would have one or two judges then every member who wants to enter sends those Judges their entries for the Comp.? Seems pretty simple if we could find some certified Judges with some time on their hand to handle it all.
Yippee, Yooper! I want to play this game! I actually have a pale ale that might be drinkable.........
