FANTASTIC! Do you get in on the actual brewing of your Baltic Porter?

Yep, should be a full hands-on experience! I briefly spoke with the brewmaster; he's supposed to get back to me with some dates.

I responded before reading the thread I won't do that again. This will tell you one way or another if you ever want to own a small brewery. Congratulations.

Congrats, comrade! I knew you were one smart brewer, but this confirms it. Enjoy the full-scale brew day. I'm already looking forward to your insights on the experience.

Russki, that is absolutely awesome! When I grow up I want to be just like you!

That is something to be very proud of not only getting BOS for the Porter and being able to brew it on a big 10 bbl system, but the fact that all of your brews were rated consistently high. It really shows that it wasn't a fluke and that your processes and methods are sound!

Congrats Sir, Congrats!

That is fantastic news!! Congratulations!!!

Thanks Louie!

I have the porter along with a few other beers in another competition; the judging is in a week or so. Curious to see how they do in a larger competition (there's 500 entries in this one). Anyone else entered the 2013 Schooner Championship?

Something I found interesting in the last competition is that the highest scoring beer is not necessarily the one getting the BOS. As a matter of fact, the beer I got 3rd place for had better scores than the porter in its flight, but lost in the BOS round...

That's badass dude, congrats!

Well done!

Please do not post pictures of you brewing this. I don't think I can afford a 10 bbl brewery right now.

Congratulation on all your scores.

All scored in the high-30s to low 40s, with one taking 3rd place overall and the other taking BOS.

Now I get to brew my BOS Baltic Porter on a production scale at Mickey Finn's Brewery in Libertyville IL, probably sometime in October!

Congrats Russki

That is just freakin' awesome!

Congratulations!

That's pretty awesome Russki! Congrats!

Congratulations, russki

That's awesome my friend.
