Its about the same time every year. Right about now I get the urge to be brewing again. I think its crunch time for the Titletown Open entries to be brewed, and the fact that our winter supply is draining fast.
I do have a few entries already. A two year old Old ale, the Halloween brown, a different brown for the special 20Plato category, an American stout, and a robust porter.
The last two I am concerned about. As they were bottled from the tap, and thats not something that I usually do. Plus my fridge went nutzo and froze them pretty good. But I bottled a few extra of them for a last minute decision on them before I drop them off.
I am planning at least two more beers to be ready by the April contest. One I know will be a pale ale. (probably the hopburst version of the Duck Creek Pale) I dont recall ever putting one in this category, and this is usually has the most entries. I think this will be good to see where our recipe stacks up.
The second beer though is up in the air. I was thinking of putting in the Fogger again. (Slightly reworked from last year.) But that would make 3 beers in the same judging flight. I'll be making it regardless, so I guess if one of the tap filled ones dont measure up, I'll have something to take its place.
