Nice to see some information on the website:
http://www.homebrewers.ca/competitions.php (note the 'e' in 'home')
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this one... but hopefully I'll be able to make it to the AGM in November. When do you decide on the styles for the competition? (at least 3 months notice would be nice, especially for bigger brews)

I'm about to bottle an oatmeal stout that I finished with Brett. and oak. I think it's a winner... but it's a while until the fall. :D
I'm planning to do a quad when it's warmer(never done one before). Late summer I'll probably do an APA and a DIPA. The pale ale style might be cool (including English, American, IPA and DIPA).
I'm still bottling, so I'd prefer having a few bottles evaluated, rather than supplying 5 gallons... but on the otherhand... I'd enjoy sampling some other stuff as well!

A stout competition would be a good idea, we did pale ales a year and a half ago, and I have a Russian Imperial Stout at about 11% that will take until Nov. to settle down. I will look into that.
If we go with a complete big beer competition we should announce that a year in advance. The Barleywines that win at March in Montreal are always 2004 and 2005.
I am a huge fan of Oatmeal stouts, the Brett would be interesting, how are you adding oak?

I used dark oak cubes obtained from a local BOP (used for wine kits). I didn't want to overdue it, but 30 cubes (approx 30 grams) per 5 gallons didn't produce much flavour, even with 9 weeks in the secondary!
Today I bottled the stout (6.2% and quite dry) and an Arrogant Bastard and a half (8.8%, but fairly sweet), which was also oaked (the yeast gave up, it should've been closer to a double bastard). Mixed together, they're actually a fairly good foreign/imperial stout!
I'll make sure I save a few bottles of the stout. :D
