My homebrew name is Desperado. I began brewing in 2011 using malt extract and clone recipes. In June, 2012 I began experimenting with strawberry ale. In 2013 I started designing my own recipes. In March 2014 I entered my Gunslinger IPA in a national homebrew contest and received 32.5 out of 50 points, good enough for a silver certificate. My interests lie in utilizing the many attributes of hops to develop an outstanding IPA. I transited to all grain brewing in 2014 and continued to develop my own recipes. In the 2017 National Homebrew contest I received 37.5 for my all grain IPA, .5 points shy of a gold certificate. The same year I received 38.5 points in the Oregon Spring Fling homebrew competition, an "excellent" rating. My goal is to continually improve on the quality of my IPAs to achieve consistent "Gold" and Excellent" ratings and be in contention for a homebrew competition medal.
