Ria’s Cider Judging Summary
- Decide beforehand “The protocol?” is everyone in agreement to that protocol?
- Judging is not about what you like as a judge, but “Is the cider made well?”
- Leave your ego at the door.
- What can be Best in Show?
- If the competition is open to all styles, then every style is a viable competitor to be a Best in Show for that competition.
