JP's new show?

[whoateallthepies]

My problem is that the show is too BJCP-centric. I know they have BJCP master judges on the show. But I'd be more interested in hearing about a particular beer's flaws and how to fix them, or good points and what they did to produce it, rather than whether a beer is in or out of a particular style and what score it would get as they scored it.

I guess I prefer Jamil's philosophy of the best beer wins rather than fitting a style wins.

Well it is advertised as BJCP centric, but I think they do both. BJCP has a specialty category, so even they make allowances for that. JP has had several weird beers on the show. Most I don't care whether they are good or bad, because I wouldn't brew them.
I was the SE Brown this week. My club basically brewed a beer we thought was in style, and learned more about how to alter recipe, etc so we could get closer to the target. I think it got a 28, not because it had flaws, but because it wasn't within style. They said it would have scored higher in a category like an Irish red, but I can already make a real nice Red, so what I got out of it was it needed some changes to get there.
I pretty much have my system dialed in. I don't have sanitation issues. I don't usually have ferment temp issues. For most styles, there are a ton of good recipes to use/edit.
I wouldn't want to be the guy who sends in a 20pt beer because of flaws. I think most that hit the show will be in that high 20s to mid 30s. And if they haven't had massive Skype issues, we probably would have had a better discussion like I have heard on most of the shows.
They always discuss how to make a beer better. They even do a recap.

And Jamil...I wouldn't speak for the guy, but he has spent a good chunk of his life fitting beers to style, writing a book about it with recipes to style, and is one of the premier BJCP judges in the country. I think maybe that idea was taken out of context.

Listen to any show where Jamil talks about competitions and get back to me.

He's even got his own tab on the homepage. Now it's official!

I love the show. I just wish they would review more beers from people who really have a problem they are trying to work out. Not just people looking for reassurance.
