Did anyone get their scoresheets emailed yet?
Yeah but I sent my beers to Portland which was judged first.
Did anyone get their scoresheets emailed yet?
John Moorhead was in KC. The scoresheets physically flew back with him on Sunday. He has access to a good and fast scanner and got things done immediately. Contrast with Chicago, where they would have to have either had access to a similar scanner, or, they'd have to mail them to Boulder. I'm assuming they did the latter.Anyone have a clue what’s holding Chicago up? KC was same weekend and their results were posted yesterday.
Unfortunately that’s just part of competitions. As much as the BJCP attempts to create a fair environment things like place in the flight, what categories get grouped together, and that judges palate at that particular moment have big impacts. Then you have the mini best of show aspect. Last year my 44 Point Helles didn’t move on to finals because it was beat in the mini best of show. It was great to style but didn’t stand out amongst the others. Just part of the game!
My international dark lager made it through. I assume I have to submit to the same category for the finals? This was actually brewed as a Schwarz but based on some earlier comp feedback and some help from some local BJCPs I submitted it as an international dark lager. I will need to rebrew so I could up the roast and darken the color and try to get it in the 8B category.
From my experience NHC is not a competition to enter for feedback. Although the score sheets were a much better format this year, you just don’t get the same level of written feedback as other competitions because of its massive size. If you are looking for feedback, enter the same beer in multiple smaller competitions and look for trends.
same here.I received my digital package today FWIW
Ha.... no..... I think I might be the only person to never submit it to a competition.... I should probably try it sometime Pretty much the other end of the spectrum when it comes to competitions for me - Dortmunder and British Dark Mild moving on. Pilsner and Kolsch fell a bit short.Did you submit your inframous NEIPA recipe Brau?
Just got my final round results. Pilsner got a score of 40. I'm really curious to see where that ranks. One of the sheets said he wanted to give me a 45 but he had to compromise with the other judge and came down a little (at least that is what I think the note is saying).
Good info to know. It was marked as mini BOS.The score "rank" is not always the best indicator as some judges score "high" or "low" compared to other judges. There were 36 entries in each category..... so, those were probably broken to 5-6 different judging tables and each table probably passed 1-2 beers on to go head to head for top 3. Your form should indicate in the upper right corner if the beer made "Mini BOS" If it did..... you can probably assume that you were in the top 5-8 beers or so.
Got a 38/39 on my Mild
Got a 40/42 on my Helles Export and it made mini BOS but did not place.
Thought both of them had a chance, but came up short. However, at least they were both in the ballpark of breaking through.
Then it was in the hunt, and one of the best beers out of those at the finals. Good job.Good info to know. It was marked as mini BOS.
Thats exciting to know. Thanks!Then it was in the hunt, and one of the best beers out of those at the finals. Good job.
