You're welcome. btw - one that caught my interest is "Bye, Bye, Miss American Rye" ByeByeMissAmericanRye Hopville (scaled) version for convenience Only ingredients are 50% 2-row, 50% rye malt, hops and yeast (and water, of course). I've made a few ryes, but never near that much rye. Does this recipe strike you as odd, or a least a challenge? It's a fairly low gravity beer and I think a nice thin biab mash would help, but I feel like I've read many warnings about high %s of rye being hard to deal with. Oh god, rye is a sticky mess...but BiaB really eliminates that concern. I'd add rice hulls if going traditional AG, but BiaB (aussie or hybrid with a sparge) should be fine.

man looking through that really pisses me off....lol there is no way that pale ale recipe is anything like a pale ale should be...
I am def going to stop brewing to style because that is not what they are looking for at competitions...
man the IPA has 14 ounces of hops in it....lol find me a store bought IPA with that many hops per 5 gallons....
hell the Pale ale has 8 ounces of hops..
just ridiculous....but I def know how to win a competition now.. Stink, A friend of mine just took a second at a competition with the following philosophy. He tasted the beer and compared the profile to several styles and sub-styles and entered his brew that way. Basically he brewed and aged it and entered the beer on taste and not the recipe profile.

I do the same.....I was making the point that they are picking beers that do not fit into the category they were entered into....there is no way a pale ale with 8 oz of hops will fit the style... have these judges ever tried a beer that is actually considered in the style? Pale ales should not be a hop bomb...that is what IPA and DIPA are for...yet those are what win in that category... just annoys me is all...lol
