Competition schedule 2024

[phildo79]

I have been a part of the judging for the last few years so I am more than happy to let someone else get the experience. But, if you are struggling to fill December Freestyle, I'll fill the void.

Who do you brew with Leon so I can get a look

At my home brewery

At my home brewery

True story:
Years ago, my friend put my house name on Google maps so that he could just type the house name into Google maps for sat nav.
It wouldn't let him register it as a house (or a monument!) so he registered it as a business.

6 months later, I got a letter from Google, including £100 of advertising vouchers for use with Google addressed to:

"Director of Marketing
<House name>"

No, thanks for volunteering. @Chippy_Tea can you please edit my post.

@Chippy_Tea can you please edit the 1st post and list @nidge For October

I see that it's the British month that we're missing, if anyone not judging would prefer American Pales in May i'd do British Pales and they can do my American Pales? If that draws anyone in?

I may be missing something, but isn't this Brewhaha's March thread - https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/march-2024-freestyle-competition.104496/

I know it's early, but any chance of getting Sour Beers on the '25 comp schedule. Got some sours in mind for the second half of this year.

You can enter sour beers into the freestyle months, there's also nothing that would stop you entering them in other months if it fits the overall style theme (e.g. mixed fermentation saisons can be entered in the Belgian month).

I agree with this. Better than having a month with one or 2 entries

Who's judging august ?

If no-one else will volunteer, I'm happy to do it. But I'm already doing July so it's only fair for someone else to do it if they want to

Likewise, I'll do it (to save you consecutive months) if new (or recycled) blood doesn't step forward.

I know its a bit of effort to do it but for those that have their finger hovering over the button it is an enjoyable learning experience and nobody is going to beat you up if you give them a low score. Have we ever had a female judge ? I'd welcome that.
