Episode 21 - National Capital Homebrew Competition

One of my pet peeves - is it 'home brew' or 'homebrew'. Let's get some consistency here!

Chuck (@varxint) takes over the podcast reigns and chats with Phillip Whelan (@phillipwhelan) and Justin MacNeil (@justinmacneill) about the National Capital Homebrew Competition and beer judging.

Show Notes:

OMG! Chuck's hosting! Where's Katy? She's writing these show notes.. These beers were served to Phil and Justin 'blindly' or at least as blindly as we could manage. What is Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP)? Seriously, there is a lot of note taking, check out the score sheet that's used. Want to learn how to judge beer like a BJCP judge? The BJCP guidelines are available on iOS or Android. What is lactobacillus? How to read the BJCP scoresheet. You should check out the National Capital Homebrew Competition and the Ottawa Craft Beer Festival. It's peanut butter jelly time, I mean porter. Justin got to brew his coconut pale ale at Nita Beer Company (Tropical Knock Out). For Pro-Am (Professional-Amateur) beers, Beau's has a series of beers brewed by home brewers - you've probably had a few! Let's not forget our beer math: 1 beer barrel = 1.17 hectolitres = 117 litres = 3907 ounces = 195 Canadian Pints. Ron Eade was a food reviewer for the Ottawa Citizen, he was awesome.  I miss him :( Why do bottle dates matter? Haze in beer? The 2015 National Capital Homebrew Competition results, damn Jared is good. Does your beer have 'legs'? Next time I will hide the containers the beers are in better! Ashnan, the Beau's wheat wine. RIS = Russian Imperial Stout. MOB = the Members of Barleyment, Ottawa's homebrew club. Justin is a dweeb.  Phil is a whack job. If you missed out on this competition, submit your homebrew to the Beau's Oktoberfest Competition!

Beer List:

Jammer - Sixpoint Brewery (Category 27 - Gose) Snake Dog IPA - Flying Dog Brewery (Category 21A - America IPA) Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale - Sierra Nevada Brewing Company (Category 22C - American Barleywine)
