Ditto.

Twice, in fact....

 

[mwilcox]

What region were you in?

Denver.

 

[Pintabone]

That's promising, at least some activity. Hopefully they'll load the Philly winners then soon.

 

[bedman]

Philly is posted. I have two going! Woooooo!

Awesome, congrats! What styles?

 

[bedman]

Awesome, congrats! What styles?

A blended sour with Kumquats took first in european sours as a fruit lambic and a Cherry Berliner Weisse with Mahlab spice took 3rd in fruit beer as a fruit and spice beer.

 

[SlanginDueces]

2 going through, I guess it’s rebrew time!

 

[jdauria]

Two going through from Philly, Czech Dark Lager and a Helles! Good thing I was already rebrewing the Czech Dark this weekend anyway! Some grain bill and hop changes from first version. Will have to brew the Helles next week.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Congrats to all of you going to the second round!

 

[booth74]

MN just emailed their sheets out

 

[kingmatt]

Congrats everyone! Neither of my entries made it through this year, which I was kind of hoping for because I don't really have time to re-brew either of them right now!

 

[treacheroustexan]

Still waiting on Cleveland score sheets.

 

[ProblemChild]

Boston seem to be waiting for something

 

[Spartan1979]

I entered one beer and my Pils took second in Kansas City. Rebrewing tomorrow!

 

[ProblemChild]

Fortunately, my beer was long in the bottle for aging as it was (American strong) I set aside two bottles just in case I got lucky. Seems that has happened. Will cellar at cool but not cold temps until time to send in for next step.

Scored 41 on my german pils and got some great feedback on my other entry, but didn't advance to the finals. Competition is tough in the US!

 

[g-star]

Does anybody know what the entry shipping deadline is for the final round? I can't seem to find it easily on the NHC site.

That’s really unfortunate you didn’t advance but congrats on the great score! Definitely something to be proud of.

Don't think I judged that one, but definitely did taste it in mini-bos. Nice job.

 

[g-star]

Thanks AZ IPA. Have to re-brew 3 beers between now and then...I didn't plan this well.

Boston has been up, a few days at least. Good luck.

Got place results, but score is more important to me. Would prefer 5th place and 43 points rather than 1st place and 34 points. As awesome as it is to place, I want to know how I did.

Just got mine in an email.

 

[treacheroustexan]

My two beers both scored 31. No advancing, but at least I get the certificates lol. Cleveland score sheets got emailed today.

 

[pedrobot]

Obsessively refreshing my inbox for my scoresheets now... lol. San Diego. Neither of my entries advanced but I thought they were pretty solid and I'm dying to see what the judges thought.

Don't you need 3 bottles for the next round?

 

[treacheroustexan]

Don't you need 3 bottles for the next round?

Eh yeah. Final round requires 3 bottles.

 

[ProblemChild]

Don't you need 3 bottles for the next round?

That is right - Fortunately I have three.

Has anybody ever placed 2nd or 3rd in the first round and done better in the second round?

 

[bembel]

Has anybody ever placed 2nd or 3rd in the first round and done better in the second round?

two years ago I had a standard cider come in 3rd in the first round, out of 7 entries, but it made mini-bos in the finals and was 5th, out of the 36 final round entries, which was far better in my opinion ( though not 'officially' an improvement )

IMO, the judging at the second round is really the best there is (and the toughest) in the first round you will always have some less experienced judges alongside pros, and you have a much smaller pool of entries to beat in certain less popular categories, (anything under 36 entries -) so there can be some variation due to opinions of taste and judges experience, but at the second round you have the top judges from all over the country coming together AND you have 33 other entries to beat in order to place.

It would be quite something if an entry placed 1st or 2nd after getting 2nd or 3rd, especially in the popular categories

Still waiting on Boston. Killing me!!! Coming up with scenarios like them screwing up and it was another beer that placed, them just figuring it out, and now trying to figure out how to address the guy that should have placed.....

 

[pedrobot]

Just got my San Diego scoresheets. Really good notes from the judges - best I've had in an NHC.

I will have to email him then. Checked spam folder and is not there
I have had a few folks lately that could not reach me by my email and it wound up being filtered out at a higher level than my spam filter

 

[surgical_ass]

Anyone get anything from Tampa?

 

[FunkedOut]

Anyone get anything from Tampa?

Not yet. I believe they are going to make us wait until the last day.

 

[perolavfk]

Do we get any feedback on beer judged in BOS for the first round?
