2014 Midwinter - the results are in!

Post by russki »

The awards ceremony for 2014 Midwinter Homebrew Competition was this past Saturday night; I couldn't make it there, but our own oly was probably there and should be able to report! Competition results and scores were posted shortly thereafter, and while I don't have the scoresheets yet, I'm happy to report the following:

Out of 4 beers I had entered (as 6 entries), here are the results:

- Simcitrillo IPA - 25 (as American Pale) and 28.5 (as IPA) - I really want to see the scoresheets, since I submitted it for ideas on how to improve it, as I was not happy with this latest batch.

- End of the Empire Oaked RIS - 33.

- Aurora Baltic Porter - 33.5, advanced to mini-BOS, did not place this time.

- Ctrl-ALT-Del Altbier (my RCE with T8rSalad) - 36 (as Dusseldorf Alt) - 3rd place, and 40 (as Specialty Beer) - 2nd place.

My Altbier was not completely to style in Dusseldorf Alt category, so I entered it in Specialty as well, and it looks like the judges thought the same. This really shows the importance of proper category placement - and two medals are better than one!

Can't wait to see the scoresheets!

Congratulations Russki! I noticed the winner with a Slavic sounding name from Club Wort on the website, and wondered if it was you. Was waiting to see if you posted to congratulate you! Nice job. I scored a 38,5 with my specialty beer (a low gravity, 3.5% APA), but alas, it was cut from the mini BOS. Very well done. I am having trouble downloading pictures or I could show you the judging room.
