So I brewed a Baltic porter 3 months ago and did a partigyle. To the second runnings, I added various crystal malts and a touch of chocolate malt. Hopped to 20 IBUs. The idea for this is a dark saison. Fermented with 3711 and a ton of sour dregs: some of which include jester king, the bruery and Praire ales. OG 1.052 FG 1.006. Fast forward to today, it's been in the bottle for a little over a month and is getting nice and funky and very tart.
Now for my questions: I am entering this in the Belgian specialty category (I think it's 16e). Is this a good choice or is there another category which it may do better in? Also, I have to write in the beer description and the only thing it mandates is that I state the intended style, to which I put "dark saison." What else should I include in this section (intended characteristics, commercial example or tasting notes?)? This is my first time entering into the NHC and could definitely use some advice! How many entries were you guys granted? I got 4.
Good luck everyone!
Cheers!
