First competition a winner!

[apratsunrthd]

Hello all. I've been brewing for a few months, only extract+steeping so far. I entered 4 beers in Barley Mob's Fugetaboutit 2010 in Chattanooga, TN and I won 1st place in American Brown Ales with a 45 score! I was very pleasantly surprised. My other 3 scored in the mid 20s, mostly because I still don't know what I'm doing :cross:.

Anyway, I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd just take a minute to brag on myself!

Congratulations. 45s are pretty few and far between.

I recently won Gold in the Belgian Pale category in a local one here, and is the first one I've entered as well. I havent received any of the information back like scoring, but I doubt I got a 45!

45 is a mighty strong score. Did you bottle condition or keg then bottle?

Congrats. What's your recipe?

awesome and youre just a stones throw away from me, I hope to get into some competitions in the next year we may cross paths

Thanks for all the kind words, y'all. I'll get the recipe posted soon. It's embarrassingly simple (extract+steep). Budzu, if I had any of it left, I'd bring you a bottle or two. I'll be brewing it again very soon so I'll make a mental note to save you some. Dookie, are you in a brewclub? I think the Barley Mob is submitting beers for a total of six events next year. We'd love to have you.

I bottle-conditioned. I'll start kegging one of these days but I have to meet some space and equipment requirements first.

Not yet but then again I barely have time to brew, but I will look into it
