Ok, so let's see what everyone is planning on entering. Here is what is in my pipeline. Hopefully we can cover all of the styles with at least some entries. I don't know if all of these will get entered but they are all candidates. I don't have any more primary fermenters available. Actually using a secondary carboy for the Bohemian Pils.

Cat. 2 - Bohemian Pilsner (in primary)
Cat. 3 - Oktoberfest (lagering)
Cat. 10 - American Pale Ale (in primary)
Cat. 12 - Robust Porter (ready)
Cat. 12 - Brown Porter (in primary)
Cat. 13 - Dry Stout (conditioning)
Cat. 14 - American IPA (in primary)
Cat. 23 - Specialty - American Pale Ale w/Rye (27%) , ready, trying not to drink it all :-)
Cat. 27(?) - Cider - Apple cider (maybe with some spices, haven't decided)
Cat. 28 - Fruit Cider - Black Cherry Cider (ready)

Since Saturday, I've brewed a Mild, an Ordinary Bitter, a Scottish 80/-, and an APA. I have just enough time to get them ready for entry and judging. In addition, I'll have an Old Ale, an Belgian Strong Dark, an Alt already brewed. I have 4 or 5 others that I'm considering entering also.

Good lord you guys brew a lot! Now my wife would say "too much", but that's just crazy talk. I'm envious and have to wonder if some of you guys have to work for a living...

Anyway, I just dropped off the schwartzbeir that I showered with Saturday, an american brown, and a scottish ale. A paltry submission by most of your standards, but I DO have a job! :wink:

Did I hear violins playing in the background? :P :lol: Just kidding. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to brew as much as I had hoped. I've only got 32 entries, sigh. That's 18 individual, and 14 team entries. That's $224.00 in entry fees! :shock:
