I've been brewing for more than a decade and a half and I feel like I still learn from every batch. I recently got a buddy into the hobby and his third batch is in primary now. He sends me a message yesterday saying that his beer is better than mine and was quite cocky about it. I'm all about helping folks get into the hobby and doing all I can to help them learn. Needless to say I'm a tad miffed at his hubris and don't know how to handle it. I'm not the end all know all of brewing and never claim to be but I have won a few competitions with the first win in 1999. How should I deal with this without ruining a friendship? I'm judging a competition next month that he wants to enter and I'm tempted to tell him to set his bottles in the sun for three days before he submits the entries.
