New to the club and never entered a competition before. I brewed my beer already and was considering adding a particular fruit to it. In looking at the BJCP styles I noticed that Fruit Beer is it's own category. Does this mean that fruit can't be in the entry I provide and would disqualifying for the style I submit for?

Thanks,

Ryan

[Jeremy Dunn]

Correct, fruit beers are a separate category. If the beer you brewed is a style selected for this year's Big Turkey competition, I'd add fruit to only half of it and submit the base beer. If the fruited half is good, maybe save 3 bottles for 2018 Indiana Brewer's cup.

[ryrosco]

Glad I asked! I'll do that, thanks!

[Jeremy Dunn]

REMINDER!
Entries are due at the November 29th meeting at Tin Man Brewery. If you have not done so already, please register on the website, add your entries and print the bottle labels to make drop-off go smoothly.
