Good job OB! That's a great beer to clone, and I'm happy yours did well!

Anoldur- congrats to you too! Great news.

I don't understand the arguing about homebrew clubs. I live in the middle of nowhere, but I am an ok brewer. When I entered the national comp (not this year), I use homebrewtalk.com as my club. Should I not have a club identity because I don't happen to live within 100 miles of a "real" brew club? I've learned more from HBT than anyplace, and I still learn everyday. I've met new friends, some of whom became my friends in real life after meeting here. If your identity is with another club, that's fine. But please don't bash those of us who choose THIS club.

Thanks. Also sent the latest version of my oaked beer from the HBT competition. Didn't fare so well this time when up against beers like Bobbby_M's 2 year old Bourbon Oak Aged English Barleywine.

For anyone following this thead. I did a compilation of the HBT winners here:

Don't have my scoresheets for my four entries yet but got the scores emailed. Highest was 37 for my Schwarz. No medals. It was my first NHC; I'll be better next year!

No, I'm not in the NE and emailed the competition organizers asking for scores to help me decide what to enter in a local competition where we are limited in the number of entries we can put in. They took pity on me and sent me my scores along with notification the sheets would be sent this week.

Is 37 a decent score?

37 is an excellent beer. 40's usually win, though. However, that 37 might be a 40 in another comp. I'd definitely submit it.

My 1st place barleywine at this year's NHC scored a 39.5 last year and didn't even place.

Nope still haven't seen mine yet either....so until I do I'm claiming 4th place in the Irish and Scots category.

At a lot of competitions in a lot of categories, 37 would place.

It probably won't place in stout, IPA, american ale, belgian strong, strong ale and other competitive categories.

You never know that and even with uniformly good judging a 37 one week could be a 32 or a 42 the next.
