I entered a couple of beers in a homebrew competition back in 1998 (I just came across the old score sheets). I think I'd like to sort of plan my brewing over the next few months to enter a couple near the end of the year. Any tips on how to improve my showing? Are there certain things to keep in mind when choosing the style or recipe? For example, these tasters are tasting brew after brew after brew...does that affect their sense of taste and if so how can I take advantage of that? Should I brew several batches of the same style and pick the best one? Are there any styles of beer that I should avoid? Or prefer?
According to my score sheets, my California Common didn't fare so well but my English Best Bitter did OK (it made second round but fail after that). I did these very early in my all-grain-career so hopefully I can do better.
Thanks for any input.
