It may be a little early to be talking about the National Homebrew Competition which won't actually take place until April, but a man's got to plan. With any good brew, you can plan on at least 2 months from start to drink, so I've been scheming on what to brew for the competition this year.
The likely candidate will be the epic porter mentioned in the previous posts, though I plan to increase the amount of roasted barley a scoche. As I will soon be embarking on a new side-project, coffee roasting, I am also tossing around the idea of throwing in some fresh roasted coffee. Only time will tell if my home roasted coffee will even be worth drinking, let alone using in a batch 'o' beer.
Unfortunately, this is aerial survey season for us, so my time for brewing is minimal this month. Look for this year's NHC contender to roll down the line in early February.
