still waiting to hear... this was my first attempt at entering the NHC. if it's going to be this difficult. it'll be my last.
This is my first year as well. Did you select multiple judging locations or only one?
philly primary, nyc as an alternate.

And, if you think the process is "difficult" now...... you should have been entering a couple years ago when you literally had to be sitting at your computer, at work, ready to enter when it opened up..... make sure nothing froze or crashed on your computer, and get your entries in within minutes to ensure you got anything entered.
The current process, in regard to difficulty, is light years ahead of where it was 3-4 years ago.
so...can you not edit entries once you have paid for them? I paid earlier to get it done but did not have the time to put in all of the details. anyone else having this problem?
You can definitely edit entries after payment.
more than the name and style?
What else do you need to edit?
Nothing really. When I was originally putting them in, it had editable fields for all the recipe specifications so I thought I would fill all of that out.

Has anyone from Philly heard if they've been accepted? I too applied to Philly with multiple alternative sites.

Yes. I have 5 entries accepted into Philly.
Got my email Feb. 9th.
Interesting, when did you find out? I'm still holding out hope to get a few entries in.
Well for those who got in, what are you submitting?
An imperial stout with Godiva coffee, BBA Imperial Stout (same base beer in both), some sort of Scots ale (probably an 80/-), an IPA, and a DIPA. 3 of them are getting brewed this weekend. ~2 gallon batches for the 3 that haven't been brewed.
You do know that entries are due in ~22 days?
Eh, if you're brewing a Scottish Ale or either of the IPAs, 22 days is plenty of time, plus peak freshness.
Bottle carbing, absolutely. But force carbed, that's a week primary for the Scottish Ale, force carb, bottle, ready to go. within ~10 days. Add 5 days dry hopping for the IPA. Still time to ship.
My IPA and IPA variants that have advanced to final round (and medalled in final round) were brewed 2+ months before the deadline. Then again, I bottle condition all my comp beers and at least like to have a taste before I ship.
