Okay, so let's say for the sake of argument that I have brewed a batch of the best IPA I have ever had in my life. It's big (sorry, BIG) bodied, perfectly hopped with great color and aromas. Just my luck, there is a local home brewing competition that I am sure this beer will do well in. The winner will have their beer commercially produced by one of our local microbreweries (we have a lot of them where I live) and sold on tap at a local tap house and in bottles at the local wine, beer and cheese shop. This all sounds great and I feel my chances are good...the only problem I can see is that my beer is an extract brew.
I am an all-grain brewer on any normal day but about 2 months ago I found myself with some spare time and about $50 kickin' around and thought "well I don't have time to brew anything from scratch but I suppose an extract won't kill me."
With that all said, my questions are as follows:
Should I enter an extract brew into a competition?
Could a brewery replicate what was developed from extract with an all grain alternative (assuming I won of course)?
Does anyone want this recipe? (I love to share a good thing)
