One of my pet peeves - is it 'home brew' or 'homebrew'. Let's get some consistency here!

Chuck (@varxint) takes over the podcast reigns and chats with Phillip Whelan (@phillipwhelan) and Justin MacNeil (@justinmacneill) about the National Capital Homebrew Competition and beer judging.

Show Notes:

• OMG! Chuck's hosting! Where's Katy? She's writing these show notes..
• These beers were served to Phil and Justin 'blindly' or at least as blindly as we could manage.
• What is Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP)?
• Seriously, there is a lot of note taking, check out the score sheet that's used.
• Want to learn how to judge beer like a BJCP judge?
• The BJCP guidelines are available on iOS or Android.
• What is lactobacillus?
• How to read the BJCP scoresheet.
• You should check out the National Capital Homebrew Competition and the Ottawa Craft Beer Festival.
• It's peanut butter jelly time, I mean porter.
• Justin got to brew his coconut pale ale at Nita Beer Company (Tropical Knock Out).
• For Pro-Am (Professional-Amateur) beers, Beau's has a series of beers brewed by home brewers - you've probably had a few!
• Let's not forget our beer math: 1 beer barrel = 1.17 hectolitres = 117 litres = 3907 ounces = 195 Canadian Pints.
• Ron Eade was a food reviewer for the Ottawa Citizen, he was awesome.  I miss him :(
• Why do bottle dates matter?
• Haze in beer?
• The 2015 National Capital Homebrew Competition results, damn Jared is good.
• Does your beer have 'legs'?
• Next time I will hide the containers the beers are in better!
• Ashnan, the Beau's wheat wine.
• RIS = Russian Imperial Stout.
• MOB = the Members of Barleyment, Ottawa's homebrew club.
• Justin is a dweeb.  Phil is a whack job.
• If you missed out on this competition, submit your homebrew to the Beau's Oktoberfest Competition!
