Homebrew Alley XVII
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2023 5:14 pm
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.
