Dry Hopped the AHA Heretic Amber

[ScottyB-Brewing]

So I just started dry hopping the wort I got from Heretic 2 weeks ago and this is my hops choice:

2 oz CTZ
6 oz Calypso
2 oz Chinook

What do you folks think about that hop choice? Do you think the quantity is too much for dry hopping 5 gallons?

It's too late now but, still I wanna see what you folks think.

I've dry hoped a few beers with10 Oz of hops and I don't see an issue. I just scored a 41 on an IPA today that had
4 oz CTZ,
2 oz Chinook
2 oz Simcoe.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

I wanna score a 41! The highest I ever got was a 38 for an American Pale Ale. I don't think I can enter this one anywhere though being I didn't brew it, I only fermented it and dry hopped it.

I do need to enter more contests, I've been in the ones in my homebrew club and last year's Fresno Fair.

[NervousDad]

I say enter it! Like Tasty says it's all in the fermentation!

Nah. YOU'LL know you didn't make the wort. Brewer's code #1 - Don't be a dick.
What if the beer wins? Jamil has won his share of homebrew medals.
He doesn't need another one.

(At least with extract, you have to boil it yourself.)

[NervousDad]

em Jamil didn't boil his last wort either


You're probably right though, most competitions have a clause that it can't be made on commercial system.

I wouldn't enter it, now if it was a cream ale I'd enter it in the homebrew club competition, I have to brew a cream ale and I don't wanna. Cream Ales do nothing for me, anyone wanna brew it for me?

Just kidding, I'll do it but it's only gonna be 3 gallons

It's funny I brewed a strong scotch ale a few months ago for that BN brew off (that never happened )... I HATE strong scotch ales. So I used it to for competitions. I won 1 gold, 2 silvers and 1 bronze. I got a good score in the NHC (41), but didn't advance. I have it entered in one more competition.

Maybe you'll have the same luck
