Having just made two porters that went into the National Competition I'm not sure I need to make any more porter for a while, but I'm tempted to push myself outside of the comfort zone and have a go at a Schwarzbier.

I've registered but I'll have to have a proper read at home, it comes about the right time for my next brew too.

I think this competition is down to its last few entry spots already, so go register if you haven't yet!

I'm going to brew something quite experimental, hopefully it won't be a disaster...
