It seems like there is always some disgruntled brewers over competition scores or more importantly feedback. What is the point of forking over 7 dollars an entry and getting pretty worthless feedback from someone who isn't even a BJCP judge? I know it is a volunteer judge so what do you expect...you get what you pay for.
Now I am not a BJCP judge so I can't do this but..I think it would be awesome if some high ranking judges would offer their services/ evaluation skills for hire. I don't know about you but I would pay 10-15 dollars to have my beer carefully evaluated by an experienced judge in a non-competition setting. Maybe even get a nice PDF scoresheet with all their legible comments. You could even provide them with a the recipe so that they can make recommendations based on it. Does anyone already provide this service?
