I am brewing a Single over here in Lilongwe next month. Can a judge fly over to taste mine, please?

Just a reminder we have our Calibration tomorrow, Wednesday, February 27th @ 6:30 @ the Brewhouse 2417 W Hubbard. We'll likely start at 7 pm .
We have 4 beers to sample.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Update: The winning brewer would brew with Tom W. at Goose Island on Wed, May 8th at 8 am. The reservation system for the Pilot system at Goose Island needs to be reserved in advance.
Can we bottle in different format than 12 oz brown bottles due to carbonation? I'm thinking 16 ozGrolsh...
Matt, that's a good idea, but some people have already bottled for the competition, so we can't do it this time around. We should definitley keep this option in mind for future comps that include a highly carbonated beer style.
You can carbonate a 12oz bottle to 3.0-3.2 volumes without worry.
At least I don't worry. But this is also why I super-nerd it with the whole weighing the beer thing.
The Saison I had in Drunk Monk was 3.0 and I bottled that back in September.
