Ozzy

Bad news

One of your caps came off in shipping. Thank god for the zip lock. I drank it anyways, yeast and all and aat about 80 degrees. There was still 3/4th of it in the bottle I couldn't waste it.

Damn...that sucks. I'm curious as to how this one will score. I've had some bottles that I really like. Some bottles are overly yeasty though.

It's still high, but I'll boil water and cool it and add it later on down the line if I feel like it, Tasty McDole style ...

judging is done, left the paperwork over at the brewery, tired as fuck, dont want to type them all up as of yet
 
all 3 of them were close
 
I will post numbers for each review, as myself and my other brewer did these in silence separate from each other so you get some unbiased judging
 
just got back home
 
i wish it wasnt so much for me to type up
 
i can tell you all the winner right now if you really want, ill check back in 10 to see if you want it
 
in fact I can actually tell you the numbers because I remember them, but no one scored over a 35
 
I figured I didn't score high. The temperature being so high definitely didn't help me. I don't even care who won. I just want to see the critique.
