Homebrew Alley XVII

[FedoraDave]

I dropped my entry off last Friday. Judging to take place the first weekend in February.

I'm a little more apprehensive about this competition than with other ones. I entered an American Pale Ale called FedoraDave's American Ale. Not only does it literally have my name on it, but it's the first all-grain recipe I formulated myself. It's kind of my "house beer."

So there's that, but it's also in a category that is likely to get more entries than the beers I've entered in past comps. Obviously, my chances were better when I only had 12 other entries to worry about. I imagine APAs would get quite a bit more entries, so the wider field narrows my chances.

Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. And it's just a fun experience to have a beer entered in a good-sized competition.

Good luck!

I've been notified that my entry has been received. The weekend of Feb. 3 - 5 is the judging. I've brought a couple of bombers of this batch up from the cellar to chill until Saturday night, when, in accordance with my superstition, I'll be tasting what the judges are tasting.

I've done all I can do.
