Does anyone know when and how scores will be revealed?  My recollection is that they were actually posted on the competition site before we received the judging sheets but I can't really remember.   Thx

0/3 beers. Will wait to see scores but hard not to be super disappointed.

Some regions got sheets before scores showed up online, others online first; depends on how fast they are mailed

My saison won a silver (19D). First time for me winning anything in this competition. Thanks to all who judged and volunteered!

I normally go through the Minneapolis region. But, I went through Indy since it is my home town. They also say that the Minneapolis region is tough. I think because everybody brings their A game in all the regions. I know that's my thinking.

Yeah, super tough categories with a lot of entries in each one! Out of five, I only got one through.  Old ale took a gold. I really thought I had some better chances this year, but at least one made it. Tough competition with lots of people making some great beer!

Congrats to all!

Willing to share that recipe?  I did not submit my old ale this year as I don't think it quite fits the style well enough to medal.

Sure thing.  It have brewed several iterations of it with all scoring well and medaling in comps. This is my latest version with an emphasis on extra depth of malt character requested by various judges at various comps.

I think I saw you moved on a cider, though? If so, nice job. Curious to see how my cider scored.

Yep, awesome heirloom blend from Uncle Johns Cider Mill.  I then did a partial kmeta dose and let it naturally ferment quite cold.

At least you are at the big dance.

Yeah.  Hopefully it does well.  I won't be able to attend the NHC this year though so I'll be going for it to win from home.

Congrats to all who advanced.  My Seattle entries are being judged as we speak and I'm super nervous. 

I don't expect to advance since I'm in some huge categories (Stout and IPA) but I know my beers this year are way better than what I sent last year, so I can't help but be hopeful.

Cheers!

[brewinhard]

Those are pretty much the two hardest categories.  Good luck.
