2012 AHA National Homebrewing Competition

I've never entered any homebrewing competition's before.  Never even wanted to, but for some reason this year I did.  I wanted to enter only 2 beers, a still mead and my Kate the Great clone.  While logging in on the AHA's website I said fuck it and entered 3 beers.  My 4C's Rye IIPA was entered for the hell of it.  I've only brewed the 4C's once before and after a cold crash for 2 weeks it was one of the cleanest beers I've ever done.  I'm cold crashing the 2nd batch right now so it is more of a shot in the dark entry.  The 1st two that I listed are great beers and I am excited to see how the do.

A quick recap:

• 100% Blackberry Mead, Aydan aged 6 years in Category 24B
• Kate the Great, my Russian Imperial Stout aged on Oak for 8 months in Category 13F
• IIPA 4C's Rye Red IIPA entered in Category 23.  6D is the base style but this beer is way to strong for the 6D style category

This should be fun.
