Janis - thanks.   Any word on if they started getting scoresheets in the mail for everything they had already judged to this point, or were they sending all scoresheets out at once?  Any emailing of scores?

Sorry, I don't know the answers to your questions.  My guess is that they have not sent any score sheets yet, but will get those in the mail on Saturday.

Cheers,

Hi all,

As I was updating the NHC page with information this morning, an e-mail came in with new information, so the page has been updated with today's date, not Saturday's date.  This is still within the usual time frame for posting the winners lists in previous years.  It'll be tight, but I hope to have the results posted by tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

Cheers,
    Janis

Janis...you are the best!

Any idea how the beer has been stored for a month? Entries bottled for a judging the first week in April might not be at their best on the 1st week of May if they've been stored hot.

Or what styles they've had to wait so long on? 
Mead - probably ok, Strong beers, spiced etc.. probably ok

Hefe - probably past it's prime. Whereas the Weizenbocks it is being judged against can handle the month a lot better. What could've been a 45 point category winning Hefe on April 2nd might be a 28 point one on May 4th. A 38 point Weizenbock on April 2nd is probably going to be just about the same on May 4th.

American Pales - not going to represent at a month past their prime as well as the Ambers and Browns they're judged against.

etc... I didn't enter either of those styles, just curious and wondering if things like this were considered

Hi Marty,

The entries have been stored properly in a refrigerated space.  The entries were judged starting with the categories with the most entries.  After that, I'm sure they were judged in the most logical and expeditious way.

Cheers,

I imagine Janis must feel like an Accountant at tax season around this time of the year.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It does have that same feeling, but the threat of an IRS audit is replaced by the threat of a lynch mob of homebrewers.  JK, I know you guys wouldn't take it that far.

Only thru me Janis, we got you covered.

Any word on scoresheet mailings yet?

Any word on scoresheet mailings yet?

Hi Bovineblitz,

I spoke to the organizer on Friday, and he said his plan was to do the mailing on Tuesday (today) and Wednesday of this week.  If that is the case, you should have score sheets by the end of this week.  I'll check in with the organizer to see how it is coming, and I'll post what I find out from him here.  Thanks for your patience through all of this.

Cheers,
   Janis

Awesome, thanks Janis!

Got one of my score-sheets from Saratoga in the mail today, very happy with the feedback.  One question though, is it usual to not send score-sheets together for multiple entries?  I entered two beers and only got score-sheets for one of them, I thought both sets would come together...

Cheers,
Chris

I would have thought they'd come together.  All the scoresheets for all of my entries came in one envelope, but then I was entered in the Nashville one.

Got my scoresheets today...nothing advancing but I already knew that.

Got a 36 in American Barleywine...I'm pretty syched about that.  Especially since I still have a few bottle in the basement.
