I wanted to share a dry stout recipe that I took 2nd place in the first round of the NHC (National Homebrew Competition) in Chicago. It is on to the final round to compete against 32 other stouts. I am pretty excited about this and am honored that one of my beers made it to this level. Not to mention you get a pretty cool ribbon for it. Anyways it is a pretty straight forward dry stout. Just make sure you use quality ingredients and use proper sanitation. Enjoy!
