Episode 21 - National Capital Homebrew Competition


Listen Later

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!
