Urban Circulator places 4th!

Näf-Woods Homebrew placed fourth in the bock beer competition in Cincinnati last weekend. I am very happy with that result. It was my first entry into a homebrew contest, and it was my first attempt at a bock beer, more specifically a doppelbock. I assume most people refine recipes with multiple batches before submitting to a contest. Evidently the contest drew entries from all across the world as first place went to someone from Cincinnati, second went to someone in Texas, and third went to someone in Brazil. I got some helpful feedback. The biggest problem was that the bottles gushed when opened, which I actually noticed as well. I am guessing this happened because the bottles never sat in the fridge after carbonating, which was due to my short timeline. Because the beers sat at basement temperature and were not chilled until the day of the competition, they did not have time to settle down. I hope this is the first of many contests I will enter.
