Many Homebrewers who enter the microbrewing scene may believe that all they have to do to be successful is replicate their home brewing systems and recipes on a larger scale. But is this folly? What issues must one consider to avoid any traps, if any?
When I volunteered to be a judge at the VicBrew homebrewing competition some years ago I was expecting variable beers at best.
Being on the judging panel (with 2 other judges) for APA I quickly found that the level of beers presented were quite good.
However, I did pick out a common trait with many of the beers I tasted and that was the “aged” character in many of the beers. My fellow judges did not necessarily pick this trait in any beer.
