Homebrew Alley XIII

Post by FedoraDave »

I entered my Old Smokey Amber Ale, and the results are in. Second place! I'm thrilled about this, especially as it's the second podium spot this recipe has received. Gotta clear space on my wall!

Congrats to you. You'll have to show off the ribbon (or whatever award is given) when you get it.

I need to get a new, larger shadow box frame for the collection.

That’s great Dave!
I entered an Oatmeal Stout and Dunkel. I knew they had flaws but was curious if the judges would pickup the same issues. They did which makes feel like I can evaluate my own beers pretty well.

Valuable information. And good to learn this about yourself.

Finally got my ribbon! There was a bit of a snafu in getting the ribbons out to contestants who weren't at the venue, but it arrived earlier this week. I think it looks good in the new frame with the other two!
