Thanks!

Hmm... this is something I'm very interested in trying out in a few years.

Gushing, or entering?

It would be awesome to check out! Can you go if you aren't competing? I'm still way too green to submit anything!

Typically, I'm not the one gushing.

Quick question Wayne...

Shipping sheet says "enclose your entry form?"

I'm assuming that's obsolete with the online process? And that all we send in are 3 bottles per entry with the bottle tags?

Yup. That's a leftover from the "olde days" when you could submit paper entry forms. Just ship your bottles with the paper labels rubber-banded in place.

How many bottles do you have to send , you get four lables I don't want to give up four bottles of a 2 year old mead
can we send in 2 bottles of each???
looked but didnt see anything in the rules
Thanks

From the Rules (links to the official rules are on this page: Mazer Cup Mead Competition - Home Page ): "We still need three 12 oz bottles, If the bottles are under 12 oz send four. If you enter only two bottles there may not be enough mead left for category and the BoS judging rounds. If one of the bottles breaks during shipping there is no guarantee there will be enough for subsequent medal rounds. Three bottles ensures enough mead for medal and BoS if your mead progresses that far. If the bottles are under 10 oz send four." (from paragraphs 2 and 3, near the top of the page)

Thanks I can do 3 of my Rasberry but your only getting 2 of my Braggot
Thanks again

Last question Wayne. Who should I contact to get an AHA sponsored club listed in the drop down? I was surprisef my club (Arizona Society of Homebrewers) wasn't listed.

Thanks again for posting here. I missed the deadline last year.
