well in a perfect world id like two bottles sent one for myself and ond one for joe to review but i for cost reasons i leave it up to the sender..i dont want to be anal about reviewing the score sheet is just a guidline and keeps the review fun and honest..i want people to feel that they are learning from this or validation that their beer is good and the recipe is worth for others to brew it.. thanks for the advice as i take everyones input..and i might use it. thanks for the support man and hopefully i can get a bunch of subscribers and keep it going....cheers.

I send 2 bottles to competitions where 5 or more judges are trying it... I don't think you need a whole bottle each to review a beer.

That said, you can all send me free beer anytime. I'd gladly review them sub 20 minutes.

Just seems like a cheap way to not have to buy beer.
 
So, is the idea that we send our beers to some random guy on the internet (you,) and then this random guy renders his opinion of our beer and posts it as a source of truth? Is that about the gist of it?

Do you have some kind of BJCP certification, or Cicerone credential? That might help lend credibility to what you are trying to do.

Not sure why anyone would have an issue with this. I've watched your first two videos and they were well done. This is a free country, don't let the judgemental idiots ruin your fun.

Keep up the good work.

Nope I don't need two bottles. 1 beer would be fine you're right and I state that. I leave it up to the sender. I'd be happy to send in one of my own to you if you have a channel. Like I've said before I got this idea for and from people on this site and thought it would be informative and fun. I really want to point out though I'm not in this for free beer. I have a career I buy and brew my own. Thanks for the input and hopefully I can build this into something even you can enjoy. Cheers.

Thanks for the support. We really appreciate it. The videos will get better as well as my comfort level on camera. We are doing it live so it takes some getting used to.
 
I think it's a great idea regardless if certifications or not. Being a home brewer I don't know anyone but my family that home brews and it would be nice to get a none bias opinion on my brews. Good job guys keep it up.

Thanks judge.. We will have our first review of a brew that is not our own in a week or two. My beer is up next week :/ I'm hoping more people will want to send in as time goes on and by the amount of emails ive been getting it looks very promising..Thanks for the support and perhaps one day we will see your beer in one of our videos. Cheers man and thanks again.
 
Brew day at the home brewers review household. An ipa variant I call Citrade and a light bodied brown. We will be reviewing a beer of my own tomorrow a nice lime ale i made from a cream ale recipe..Hopefully get that up on YouTube tomorrow night for you. Also good news! we will be doing our first review of a beer that's being sent in after this weeks review. Cheers. L

All entries will be reviewed and shown on our video page..the recipes will be shared so others can brew your beer. winner shall receive a 25.00 gift certificate to Northern Brewer and a surprise gift. If you think you'd be interested in entering we will take the first 10. A video will be made also to announce this. Just getting the feelers out there. Should be fun.
Email is at [email protected] and we will shoot you the details
 
So I was looking for some input since it is our First little contest. Is the 25 dollars to NB a good amount also the surprise gift to the winner a bottle of the new stone beer collaboration wootstout. Thoughts? Or should we hold out on the contest till we have more reviews under our belt.

Just discovered this. Have to say- pretty nice guys! Kind of reminds me of the early days of BTV.
I normally don't follow much on youtube, but I've subscribed to this one. I have a couple brews in the pipeline or planning stage that I might send down to you. Keep up the good work.
