My Belgian Strong Ale got second place at the fair
Out of 5 other Belgian ales. I'm really pleased with it and can't wait to see the judging sheets.
My IPA I bottled the night before dropping off entries so I knew it wouldn't do well, I just want to see the comments about it.

2. Mmmm...Belgian ale!
How do you make it Belgian since I'm assuming you're not from Belgium?

Do you add chocolate or something?




;)

3. The type of hops, grains and yeast
It was a clone of Duvel and one of the best beers I've ever brewed. I made some mistakes in the brewing and will make sure I rectify them when I make it again.
I've made chocolate stout in the past but that is more of a British style.

6. Yum!
I just returned from 3 weeks in Belgium. Duvel is GOOD!

Congratulations! :toast:

10. We should have one!
My house is so unsuitable, though. Maybe we should plan a picnic...
