Has a judge been decided and do we label as normal???

Thinking out loud, blind tasting for the judge would give impartial results :grin:

Did my brew today stuck for a name as yet sorry no picks as its top secret all i can say is its 10.60

I had a sneaky taste of mine - only bottled on wed, :shock: this is really nice - must brew more beer to stop me tucking into the xmas stash :lol:

Bottled mine today. It is dark and tastes nice

Did mine yesterday, a stroke of luck that I had just enough black malt at 200g and the OG worked out to a T

Had to protect against them stupid fruit flies, one of the longest brewdays ever, I let the mash recirc way too long and the grain bed went like concrete, a stuck mash.

It was also the first time I used this which made an enormous difference, the clearest wort going into the FV I've ever had.

Pitched 2 vials of WLP005 about 8pm last night and they are starting to work nicely this morning :clap:

Some good looking brews there guys......was there a ****y prize?? :lol:

How do we Label competition bottles??? Are they labeled as we would label normally.

Mine is still in the primary.
It stuck at 1030, and I didn't realise until a couple of days ago
Have had to give it a good rouse to get it going again, but it's fermenting nicely again now thankfully
