I'm a pretty new brewer- 5 batches brewed, all extract, some with specialty grains. There's a local-ish competition coming up, and I'm thinking of entering the brew I think came out best.
Now, I read all the rules for the competition, but I'd like some insight on the etiquette for competitions, as I've never been to one..
For instance, I took the recipe straight out of "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing". Is that kosher? Are extracts looked down on?
I mean, I know that according to the rules I can enter this- but will it be looked at as some no0b wasting their time? I have no aspirations of actually winning, just interested in the critiques and the experience.
Thanks!
