This is VERY exciting, my IPA advanced out of Milwaukee! My first time entering the NHC and I took a first in the first round!
I'm going to have to re-brew it as I had no thoughts of advancing and we drank it all. I have a question regarding the re-brew. Is it bad form to make minor recipe adjustments based on the first round judges feedback? Not planning on anything major, just maybe slight water profile adjustment and bumping the mash temp up a degree or two. Got a couple of comments that it could use a bit better balance.
It obviously is a decent beer so if it's not right to make recipe changes I'll be happy to brew it the same.
Cheers!
