State Fair Homebrew Competition

Post by tompb »

I am planning on entering a couple beers in the competition this year. Anyone else taking any? This will be my first competition, I'm not sure what to expect.

Have you ever entered beers there T? I have entered a few. You don't get any feedback from them. You do get ribbons. I have won a few style categories at the fair. I plan on entering at least one beer this summer. I think my abbey style ale could be a winner.

Wow!  So do you pour the beer into the floppy drive, or shove the bottle into the cd-rom slot? ;)

So if I do the online can I photoshop it first? Airbrush out the flaws? I saw they entry had to be submitted by 7/1, but when do you take the beers down? I would like feedback. You guys are aways to easy on me.

I'm having trouble entering my beers online. When I'm on the Entry Page, I get a dropdown with a lot of categories, none of which are beer.

The closest is Iowa Commercial Wine Entry.

I can find it in an earlier page, but when I log in to actually enter, it's not an option.

Under Iowa Family Living, there looks to be something to do with beer, but you don't get to pick which category your entering. Just a number. Is that right? And it's also called Beer Classes. Seems weird. I guess the category is chosen when they send the forms.

That is correct, you will enter the category on the tags you attach to the beer.
