Anybody else get into this? I entered 6 beers since unlimited was only $10. 3 have a legit chance of placing, 3 are experimental. Not sure if we'll be able to make it to FOCO for the festival this weekend though.

Have one entry going to the CO state fair as well.......then I'll be done for the year......running out of entries anyway since I've started kegging! been too lazy to bottle 6-12 of the kegged batches.
 
I have a friend who lives in the area. They went and said my name did not appear anywhere, but I am looking forward to receiving the judges feedback soon.

I have been checking the website, but no results posted as of yet.
 
They said they will be sending out the judges scorecards today. Here are the results.

Just received my score sheets. Shivwits scored 34. The only mentioned flaw was low carbonation and that was intentional. They sent me five dollar cash for my entry that got drank by the UPS guy.
 
I got 25 for my Scottish 70. I used the AHS recipe and they said it was too smokey and dark. I primary fermented for about 3 weeks, before secondary. One comment was that I primaried too long. I didn't think that was possible!
