Virtual beer tasting just dont work.
Except you can’t legally mail alcohol (USPS). And there are a few hoops that UPS and FedEx make you jump through. When Yooper started this thread, I took it as a bit of whimsy. It surprised me to see how much attention she got from her post.
With an alcohol content greater than 24% ABV including spirits such as gin, vodka and whisky.
Alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content no greater than 24% ABV including beer, lager, wine and champagne, are allowed.
Chapter 22 Beverages, spirits and vinegar - Prohibited articles - potable beverages over 5% alcoholic content by weight.
And she has got to do it ll in one sitting lol.I still think Yooper should be judge. Send a bottle from each brewer, Make a 20 minute video of all the beer being drank (judged). If still upright and coherent, Yooper declares a winner.
I'd pay £5 postage to the US just to watch the video...
Is this going to end up like the Recipe of the Week that was awarded once and never mentioned again?
Looks good to me.I like this idea, but recipe of the month. Someone puts forward a recipe for brewing, those with interest give it a go, by the end of the month beer should be ready for drinking, appraisal. Then the next person puts a recipe forward for the next month and so on.
Would get people out of there comfort zone and brew something they wouldn't have.
I would put forward something like the recipe below, because I know most of you haven't (Especially Americans).
