Congratulations! I get the impression the standard was very high so that's a superb achievement.

 

[Andyroo Brew]

Yeah, and 2 of my 3 entries were in those categories. I’ll know better for next year!

Same here. Not the best time to enter your first competition…..

I saw that! Well done!

What would be a decent score?

 

[YeastFace]

I didn't have a horse in the race but interesting to see some of the groupings.

Stronger beers within every style do better at comps, as pretty much every Mean Brews video demonstrates (regardless of whether those strengths are actually within the guidelines).

So no surprise to see FES and Imperial Stouts form the 3 winners in the combined British, Irish, and Imperial Stout table.

A great time to pick a dry stout with strength at the lowest range of the guidelines for a different comp, it seems

 

[YeastFace]

What would be a decent score?

0-13 is problematic
14-20 is fair
21-29 is good
30-37 is very good
38-44 is excellent
45+ is outatanding/world class

If you search BJCP scoring it gives you a bit more information behind each banding.

What would be a decent score?

30+ and you’d be doing very well.

Best in Show was a cream ale though, which is a surprise.

Yes, I was very surprised at that too.

Edit - in a good way!

We will have to wait shortly… ahem.. for the scores….

 

[Stu's Brews]

Sounds like there'll be a bit more of a wait for individual scores and feedback:

The winners of the BrewCon World Series V are now up on the competition website.

We'll be scanning and loading scores + scoresheets up category by category over the next couple of weeks.

'BEST BEER OF BREWCON' was a stunning Cream Ale co-brewed by Matthew Perks + Dan Turner.

2nd place was a show stopping Foreign Extra Stout by Garreth Oakes...

who also won 3rd place with his perfectly balanced American Amber Ale.

Garreth picks up 'WORLD SERIES CHAMPION BREWER' for his efforts, just ahead of James Pettifor, who also won two golds.

Prizes -
Matt and Dan will be flying down to Falmouth courtesy of LAUTER Bottleshop + Brewspace for a Brewday with Pipelinebrewco + a very beery weekend around Cornwall!

Garreth wins a spectacular G70 courtesy of Grainfather plus a brewday at Elusive Brewing courtesy of Andy Parker!

There will be more prizes for category winners + of course suitably lovely rosettes coming out soon.

Thanks for another wonderful edition of the BrewCon World Series!

Thank you! Buzzing!

Couple of weeks !!

Well done. I like a dark lager and would be interested in the recipe!

Sounds like there'll be a bit more of a wait for individual scores and feedback:

Scores should be easy to update...its simply a case of typing in the score into the appropriate field. If 1st/2nd/3rd places have been entered then scores could easily have been done as well.

Scoresheets are however a PITA if you haven't got access to an automatic feed scanner that can collate each pair of scoresheets into a single file.

 

[Broken Toe]

Not as impressive as most. But I managed a cheeky third in category

Totally! I love a cream ale and would be nice to see more of them around now!

An excellent name for the European Brown Ales table winner:

Four Or Five Pints At The Ship On A Sunday Before Heading Home For Mum's Roast, Circa 1994

It was essentially the Courage Best recipe from the Wheeler book.... not a patch on the way it used to come up at The Ship though
