I have a sort of funny dilemma.
I just recently dropped off three entries to a local competition that will occur on January 29th.
Entries 1 & 2 are the same beer, entered into two different sub-categories of porter. The beer is nearly flawless at this point, so I'm hoping to find out which category it better fits just for Snits and Giggles.
I tasted Entry #3 for the third time tonight (and dumped it out again). It's a berliner weisse that is WAY too sour and after over a month in the bottles has barely even started to carbonate. I expect that the two bottles I dropped off are no different than the remaining too many that I have at home. This beer will be perfect for blending, and maybe even with more time will be drinkable on its own, but certainly not before January 29th.
Being that I can fairly easily go to the LHBS, snatch up this entry and save the judges a lot of mouth-puckering pain: what would you do? Should I leave it in as payback for the occasionally ridiculous feedback that we've all gotten, or should I go get it?
