My first homebrew competition win!

Won my first ribbon! Took 2nd place in the dark ale category at the 2014 Wilson County Fair homebrew competition with my Diver Down Brown Ale. This brown ale is based off of Tasty McDole's Janet's Brown Ale, just slightly tweaked. It's very hop forward and higher gravity for the style.
I've discovered the magic of reusing yeast rather than buying new each time. It saves money and it really does make for a better beer. This one was made using second generation yeast which I think made it so good.
