Hey guys. I entered my first hombrew competition over the weekend. It was a fairly small comp (only 50 total entries), so it was basically just a big "best of show" competition, since they didn't have beers from every category to compare against. Anyways, I took 3rd place for my hefeweizen and 5th place for my american pale ale. They awarded prizes for the top 5 beers, so I got a gift certificate to the LHBS for my hefe, and a local brewery's sweatshirt for my pale ale.
All in all I'm pretty stoked. I know that the same guy took 1st and 2nd place, and he entered at least 4 or 5 different beers. So for me to place 3rd and 5th with the only 2 beers I entered made me pretty proud.
So basically I just wanted to toot my own horn a little bit and thank everybody from HBT who has helped pass on their knowledge and wisdom on these forums!
