Thanks Jeff

So I got my scoresheets back and did OK, low to mid 30's. Cool thing is, as I'm reading, I look at the 2 judges names who scored my american amber and suddenly realized...  I have heard these names before. Turns out one ( I won't mention any names ) was featured in Denny ad Drew's "Homebrew Allstars" and the other, among many other accolades, has lectured at NHC. You gotta love a hobby where your peers are so accessible.

Did you enter in the South?

Yes, Tampa where I received a good score and advice on my amber ale from a BJCP Master Judge.....

Cool.  I hope it was accurate. 
We had six Master judges over that weekend in Tampa.  I was mostly setting up flights and tables and only got a chance to judge one flight over five sessions.

I have a question concerning a re-brew for the second round. I have a saison that went in as a standard strength. Can I change it to a table strength, or is that not permitted? I just happen to make a table version a couple weeks ago and it's tasting pretty good. I'm also brewing two more because I can't stop myself.

I didn't realize they were releasing scoresheets for beers that advanced. I haven't received anything from Indy.

I haven't either. With this being the first region done, I'd think soon. I had mine before this time last year. Ehh whatever, it takes a while.

I could care less actually. I was going by the rules page. It said score sheets for the top 3 wouldn't be released until all regions were complete. I could have read that wrong. My Triple advanced, but I got nothing. It is oxidized in the keg. Trying to rebrew a Triple for the finals is futile IMO. Entered at the last minute, next year I'll bottle condition.

Congrats on advancing anyway!


Edit - I could actually care less, either. Not the first rodeo. Always interesting to read the feedback, though.

Yes, I think you were spot on. It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, I believe I dry hopped it a bit heavier than I should have for an amber. It was better a month later as the hops mellowed a bit. I'm gonna re-brew it with 1/2 the dry hops and bump the malt bill up a bit.
Thanks for the guidance, I'm going to enter the modified version in our local comp this fall.

Thanks, everyone knows how hard it is to move on. The Brewers are so good, I was stoked with the news. I do want to see my scoresheets. I really thought it would have been my Kolsch. I'll blame it on the copper.

I'm curious to see my scoresheets, particularly for the ones that didn't advance (well... most of them, I KNOW my Baltic Porter wasn't my best effort and I shouldn't have entered it).  Haven't received any score sheets yet (Philly).

Edit: spoke too soon. My scoresheets were waiting for me when I got home!

Man... I was all over the place this year.  2 in the 20s, 2 in the 30s, 1 40.

whats up with sacramento? the other regions who judged had their results posted last week.

[coolman26]

Funny, my lowest score advanced with 44 entries. Comps can be hit or miss.

I checked with John Moorhead at the AHA regarding the hold-up with Sacramento - he mentioned a shortage of judges prevented them from finishing on the planned days so the judging went into this last weekend. 

The World Cup of Beer and the California State Fair Homebrew competitions were all around the same time as NHC, which probably contributed to being short on judges.

He said that all Sac results should be validated by Friday April, 21st.

Thanks for the update, I hope they were able to get experienced judges.

Being my first year in the national comp, curious why they wouldn't wait to post all the results until all judging centers are done?

It seems unfair to someone in the Denver, Chicago locations. By the time they find out if they are moving on they have no time for a re-brew unlike the early judging centers where results have been available for for almost a month.
