So i just moved an IPA I brewed from primary to secondary and it is fantastic! I am extremely proud of it and will probably polish off the keg in a week.
I would like to enter it into a competition, but thats where the problem is. I used WL German Bock yeast and therefore it is not technically an IPA. I think it would probably slip by the judges knowledge if I didnt say anything but is this morally wrong? What if I win, did I steal a medal from someone who followed the rules?
I could always enter it in cat. 23 but I just dont think it would be that much different from an IPA to really stand out in the cat 23 crowd.
Perhaps I will just enter it anyway an see if any of the judges catch it...
