Fresh Hop/Wet Hop IPA

Beer Recipes
1

This upcoming Fresh Hop Ale Fest (http://www.freshhopalefestival.com/) is going to be my first entry into a competition.  I will be brewing an IPA.  I do not yet know what hops will be available to me in time to brew, but I am hoping for Citra and Amarillo.

I’ll be maxing out my capacity by brewing an 8 gallon batch, hoping to get as close to 5 gallons as possible.  I’ll be entering 3 12 oz. bottles and serving the rest via our homebrew club at the fest.

Any advice?

IPA is stacked category, but throw a good one down and see what happens.  Stave off you crew and hold a few back for this one.  Good luck.

Signed up to judge the Portland one.

Nice.  I judged in the Yakima one last year but probably won’t this year.  I really enjoyed it though.

For sure.  But there are only three categories and they are all stacked.

I might catch you there, Jim.
