Scottish National Homebrew Competition

[SMP Brewery]

As someone who hasn’t entered one, does that mean APA is the most popular category so probably the hardest to do well in?

Certainly American pales and American IPAs are very common and that does make it more competitive.

I can see mine were received

@aolcot it might be worth just checking on the competition site if your beers have been marked as received if you haven’t already. Maybe it’s just RM’s admin that’s broken.

Whereabouts can you see if your beers were received? I can’t find anything on there about it…

Where your entries are listed. I don’t think you will see it on a mobile, you need to look on a PC.

I can see my entry was received from my ipad.

When might one expect to be given the judges thoughts on ones beer?

Same judges as Brew Con I believe, so....about November?

Within two or three days I’d say.

Brewcon was one bloke judging 400 beers IIRC

Yes thanks, I see it now using an iPad, it doesn’t show with mobile

Scottish Craft Brewers are very quick! Just a few days from now, I reckon.

Are they live streaming the results tomorrow?

With no pen to record his thoughts. Luckily he could remember all 400 scores and feedback

Not necessarily. It just means they had enough APA's to create a table with only one style on it...with 201 beers received and 19 tables you would expect an average of 10/11 beers per table. As far as they can, the organisers will try to keep the table sizes roughly balanced (in terms of the number of beers) within the restrictions of trying to put similar styles on the same table.

However, popular styles such as APA's and IPA's may garner enough entries to justify their own table, rather than being combined with other tables. But that on its own doesn't automatically mean that the table will have lots of entries. Though, as has been said...APA's and IPA's are popular styles so its likely that tables 10 and 12 will have more than the average number of entries.

The number of styles on any table does not really indicate how many beers are entered. Look at any of the tables with 5 or 6 style categories....they may have received 3or 4 beers in each of those styles....but as those styles might not necessarily sit easily with other styles they get grouped together on one table...which could mean as many as 20 beers competing against each other.

Great!

I don’t expect much on my end, just will be good to see what wins! I look forward to the feedback.

Apart from Brewcon where I was the only one, it’s the first comp I’ve entered since I joined a brew club - there’s 5 of us with entries in so I’m keen to see if any of the others win any prizes.

Results live streaming now. A few familiar names from the forum have popped up but don't want to spoil the surprise for anyone.
