Allsmokenopancake 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2008 I'm entering my beers into a competition next month. My first competition since I've started brewing.I'm more interested in feedback than winning, but winning would be nice, I just don't think I've got enough experience under my belt (about 14-15 batches to date)I think somewhere in the last 4 months I crossed a line from making Beerish drinks to making real good beer. What I had been making before that was OK, some of it was pretty decent, but I think what I'm making now is a whole lot better, I have the science down, I know what hops etc that I personally like, and I get to make the beers I really like.So fingers crossed for the montgomery county fair homebrew competition!!!!Here is what I'm entering.American Pale Ale66 IBU's, 6.0% ABVWhiskey Vanilla Porter (entering it in the specialty category, used 12 oz jameson whiskey and vanilla beans)74 IBU's, 8.0% ABVLight Ale - American Wheat26 IBU's, 5.5% ABV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
