Re: Feedback has arrived
Evidently some error. Do you have sheets relating to the entries which are yours? Cam you tell me which entry number it is? Beer #7 (entry #7001) cat. 8B (I changed categories late on...) E-score 38, actual scores 21 (though if you add the scoresheet you get 19), and 17 (again, if you add the score...

December 2012? Any chance of take away?RogerP wrote:Today I'm brewing my WW entry, all 8 litres of it, in a pan, on the stove, BIAB style. It's one of my old recipes, at least 20 years since I last brewed it!

Re: bottles
