I am going for full world domination this year
Just dropped off my three entries at Fedex and they're on their way to Denver.
I entered the following:
* British Brown Ale (13B)
* Chocolate / Coconut Porter (30A)
* Blueberry melomel w/ oak+vanilla (37A)
Looks like Denver doesn't judge until the end of April which kinda stinks. At least my beers shouldn't really degrade too much over that time.
Yeah, I always entered at Denver in the past. This year I decided to give Seattle a try since they tend to judge earlier.
So the website says that April 25th the first round results should be posted. NYC is finishing their round on March 26th. Should I expect the NYC results prior to April 25th? Or do all 12 post at the same time?
Sacramento address was unable to deliver by USPS. Azzholes.
Apparently USPS is not recommended.. I now see why.
USPS is not recommended because it is illegal to send alcohol via USPS.
Indianapolis should have completed judging this past weekend. Anyone heard how it went?
NY, StL and Tampa up next.
How long, historically, after judging do they post the results?
I noticed that 2 of my entries have different time stamps than the other 3..... what does this mean?!?!???
A week later and Indy still hasn't posted results.
Yes, but the dates are vastly different, and I didn't update my beers after I put them in. I have 3 that are within 5 minutes of this date 26/02/2017 at 9:39 AM, and 2 that are within 5 minutes of this date 09/02/2017 at 12:34 PM.
Wow. Really getting antsy waiting on Indy. I entered TN last year where they had major snafus and took 2wks to finish the judging. I really thought 1wk TOPS this year. How long does it take to verify results?
As mentioned earlier, they had some category(categories) to finish up with Indy. So, they actually were not finished judging on that weekend. Last year, I thought they were pretty good getting things turned around within 1 week of a competition being finished with their judging. I bet it will be about that this year too. Would not surprise me to see Indy up today or tomorrow and hopefully the ones this weekend will come in late this week or early next week.
Indy's best cider person was sick, so they were unable to finish one cider category on Saturday. That is all that is left and the organizer, who is on cider exam committee, will finish that this week.
FWIW I'm told every judge in Indy was BJCP
My friends and I did well; will wait for official word but apparently I can drink the rest of my ice cider bottles. It happens.
Cheers--

Just got emailed PDFs of my score sheets from Seattle. No indication of placement, but two of my sours seemed to have scored well (38 average in one, 42 on the other). My two stouts didn't fare nearly as well.
Thats impressive, did they come from NHC email or just a cool judge sending you info?
Last year I got my PDFs from NYC well after the results had been posted, Seattle has their S#*t together!
Ever so humble Mike, congrats on the three first place entries! Please save a bottle of that ice cider though and bring it to Grand Rapids next month
I judged in the Philadelphia competition yesterday but this year they didn't announce winners or allow you to pick up your scoresheet...let the waiting game begin.
Were they finished? If so that is strange.
