First, second and Third (when awarded) in each judging category will get prizes sent as well as the Best of Show and runner-up. Plus there are the Pro-Am prizes as well.

You will be getting your feedback. I have all the sheets ready to send out. I just need to print labels, stuff envelopes and package prizes. The aim is to have everything out by the end of the month, sooner if possible. I must apologize on the scoring. I wasn't aware that the scores would be visible...

I don't have one of those, but from the people I know who do have them they are quite happy with the quality.

At the other end of the spectrum are the Blichmann kettles. While very nice, they kind be pricey for some.

I know the mods often get swamped with spam subscription attempts. PM what email you were trying to register with and I'll see if I can get the mods to get you subscribed to the forum.

Hmmm... that was supposed to be "Thanks Lackey!", rather than a demand.

I'll thank Lackey. And I'll thank him for posting in metric!

yeah, that one doesn't mention "westvleteren", but if you're searching for that, "westy", and "trappist" (as I am) I think you catch 'em all. I've been flagging that one, but i think it takes a certain number of unique flags before it drops. westveltern seems to be ano...

Simply put, most craft beer drinkers don't care all that much about ...
