North GA Homebrew Competition was bittersweet this year. I got to judge and earn more points in the Czech Pils category and also enter 3 crowd favorites, that didn't appear to be GA favorites. Overall, consensus scores were 27 for WBI, 28 for Little Sausages in a Can and 31 for 22 a Day. Now granted I was not happy with the WLP300 yeast on WBI and have finally come to terms that it should not be used in hefes, but Little Sausages was a quaffable delight that barely made it to comp. However, in fairness the notes for it were that it was young and needed more lagering, the sulfur pinched through. 22 a Day was a 12.5% behemoth that one judge stated seemed under attenuated? Well, can't win them all and from an entrant and judge aspect, the communication, prizes, awards presentation and especially the sponsors were top notch and well run by Bill Boyer and M.A.S.H.
