Need Advice on Homebrew Competition

[cshamilton]

So, here's my situation.

I was planning to enter one of my beers in the NHC competition - I've already paid the $14 entry fee, but I haven't shipped the beer yet. My plan was to send the most recent batch of my Porter. I entered a similar beer a few years ago and it did well.

Here's the problem, I pick up a slight metallic flavor in the finish. It's still a good beer, but if there realy is something there I won't win anything - and I've heard feedback from NHC is pretty sparse anyway. So my options: spend $15 in shipping and see what happens, or save the cost in shipping in a beer that I'm not very confident in.

I really need to decide today or shipping rates will go up.

Thanks for you thoughts.

I say send it in. You've already paid the entrance fee and you never know what the judges will say, they may not even perceive the metallic flavor you are detecting.

You miss 100% of the shots you never take.


Or so I have heard...

Send it in.

Ok! I'll send it out

I haven't entered any Porters - you are not competing with me - so I say send it!
