No I honestly doubt that is true (the organiser retrospectively doing score sheets)...I've heard reports that the organiser was judging beers on his own at the event to help get them all done. I had just one sheet for one of my beers and that feedback was provided in the first batch.
I avoid comps where there are not three judges, at least recognised. You can contact the judges to question them about their findings they should have contact email on the score sheet. When there are laymen involved unless they are pro brewers you are wasting your time. I was told a Golden ale should have more American hop character FFS. This was by a layman dragged in to judge the comp.
I dont think they do (act as a role as a nursery for BJCP qualification). BrewCon might say that they will always have at least one BJCP judge in any judging pair but that is no different to other comps.
I haven’t even checked for a week and a half. Don’t think I’m even really bothered now I’ve been finished the beer for 6 weeks.
Still no score for me. Although I sent a bottle of the same beer to someone and it arrived oxidised so I don’t have high hopes.
I'm very interested to see the comments as I had exactly the same issue with the beer I sent off for the monthly forum comp that was on at the same time. I also wasn't particularly happy with the clarity or hop flavours - to my taste I felt I had picked up some astringency.
No….
No scores for me yet. Wondering if they ever judged them!
