Hi everyone! Congratulations to the winners of this year Mazer Cup!


http://www.mazercup.com/mcm_results.htm

i looked at all the winners and i must say that i'm really proud of Intermiel. They're a Meadery a couple of hours away and their 'Médieval' which won the bronze for this year Dessert sweet mead was the first mead i ever tried!

I've also tried some of their other products that's won in some categories and some i really liked and some that wasen't really in my pallette but i'm glad that they're doing pretty well and representing 'La belle province'! :)

Congrats to everyone!
 
I'm still not convinced this could possibly be right. Maybe they posted my name in error. Maybe they mixed up my bottles with someone elses. How could a newbee like me who's only been playing at this for a year do anything worthy of a medal?

If it's true, then it's a blend of the two pineapple variations I made as a result of this thread: http://www.gotmead.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19436
 
Folks,

Congrats to all our GotMead winners! You all deserve the awards that you have received. I judged several of your entries, so I know that to be true.

Oh, and we averaged just over 20 meads per category (some more, some less) so you have "statistically significant" results - keep up the good work!

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!

Now that I've a few years of aging under my belt, maybe some angry hedgehog will find it's way to the mazer next year. It's a severe possibility with how well some things have been doing in local competitions.
 
Congrats, and good job everyone!!

And yes, sometimes as a newbee you can make something really great... and then spend the next 5 years trying to do it again! <ahem> Kiwi wine <ahem>

I really wanted to get my boil/no boil show meads entered this year, maybe next year I'll actually have gotten them bottled in time!!
 
OK, coming in late on this discussion but I want to congratulate all the winners on what I consider to be the strongest field of home produced mead I've ever been involved with. Home produced mead has jumped up in quality in the past five years by an order of magnitude and I'm very excited by the entries we saw this year.

That being said, I'd like to send personal congratulations to Medsen on that Orange Marmelade Mead. It was STELLAR! I am very happy to see the progress this guy has made since first joining GotMead.Com and becoming a regular contributor and Mead Mentor. Medsen is a very meticulous meadmaker and researcher who is about as empirical as I am when it comes to process and product.

Normally we have taken from an hour to an hour and a half to complete the Best of Show round. This year it took about 30 minutes. That's because Medsen's entry was just that great!

So basque in the glory Medsen, you truly deserve it and don't stop there! You are in the zone so don't stop creating and being driven by the things that you find interesting and exciting. Grab them by the throat and wring everything you can from them, in the end you'll have some amazing creations to enjoy and share!

Cheer buddy,

Pete Bakulic
 
Thank you Pete!
Coming from you that is such high praise that my head is going to swell up so big I won't be able to get through the door. :)

Of course the real credit goes to all the folks who contribute here on GotMead, because it is this community that has taught me most of what I know and has encouraged me to keep learning. And don't worry, there's still lots of stuff I want to try. In fact, I just got some yeast for the next run of HotMead testing which I'm starting this summer.

I have been brewing Mead for nealy 6 years now and about 30 batches under my belt. I have been told that I should enter some of it. I don't know.
I have a few but the main question that I have is:

How long should it be aged prior to sending this in. Surely aging is a factor as most mead gets better with age. That would help time things a bit better for me so that I can whip something up special for this. Make a good go at it and see what happens. My friends like my mead but then again I don't think that they are able to judge in this manor. I did get one review of my mead that was of a professional nature: My Pineapple Lime Mint mead. Can be found on this site. I took those notes and I am re-doing the batch with some changes. But seriously, what should I be thinking about when entering a competition such as this?

I bottle out of 12 oz brown beer bottles, for me that's a good volume at one go. I also put a 1 in round sticker with the mead flavor on the top of a crown cap. So, other than amount, What should I be looking for? I think that it should be the open catagory that I would be entering as I like to mix spices and fruit to get unusual flavors, Hence my Raspberry Thyme sweet mead was one of the best I made, but my Ameretto Cream Mead (didn't turn out too creamy in flavor but only in mouth feel) I just bottled and it seems like it will be very good.
