Thanks, man. 1.012 on this one. The NHC reject hit 1.010 but had equally the body of this one - somewhat different water chemistry. Ironically, body was one of the judged negatives. Side by side it had the body of Hofbrau Dunkel, easily . Comps are a crapshoot - I thought it would advance. Lots of great beers out there, though. Congrats to the guys that did.
Edit - Hope I didn't come off sour grapes, wasn't my intention. It's tougher every year to advance because there are more amazing homebrewers than ever before.
