Boston Homebrew Competition - Feb 22

[NBBC13]

Bummer, missed this comp again this year! Nothing ready to send anyway as Heady Topper clone still in primary!

wonder how many heady topper clones will be in this years competition. I know of at least two guys entering heady topper clones. also know of 3 pliny the elder clones entering. wish I could judge that category.

awesome, I happen to be judging that. I got PtE fresh in mind so they better be good!

from what I heard yesterday, not many winners in IPA category. what did you see dcp?
Overall, a good competition yesterday, run very well. I ended up judging Belgian Darks and Bocks. my palette was pretty tired by the end. Of the 3 beers I entered, I did pretty well with my Amber - scored a 41. kind of surprised it didn't place with the score that high and the comments I got lauding it.

 

[dcp27]

that was my experience. my flight seemed a bit worse than the others tho. not many flawed, but alot were just very underhopped. It's a tough category tho as obv the fresher the better. even the mini-BOS was kinda lacking I thought.

bravo on the amber, thats unfortunate you didn't get a medal, but sadly sometimes its just the way things go with mini-BOS esp in such a big category. glad you enjoyed the competition

Any idea where I can find results for this? Didn't see anything posted yet, but I could be missing it.

 

[dcp27]

Nothing is posted yet, just checking that the results were entered correctly. The winners should be up later tonight on the site.

Thanks for the update!

I must be missing something, where are the scores? I'm looking at http://bhc.wort.org/ but I'm not seeing scores or winners...

 

[dcp27]

sorry they temp got pulled down, there was an error with some of the ranks we are trying to resolve. some summary sheets from the bigger categories mistakenly had ranks written for the individual flight vs those after the mini-BOS so we need to figure out which is correct. should be back up tonight

 

[cskollmann]

Glad I'm not crazy. Can't wait to see, thanks for all the hard work!

 

[dcp27]

no problem, i think you'll be pretty happy with the results

Were the winners posted previously correct? Specifically interested in the Light hybrid category--thanks!

Specifically interested in the Light hybrid category--thanks!

Those should be accurate as well as all previously posted scores, so you're all good. We've only confirmed one category with some incorrect winners thus far, I believe there are just 2 others in question still.

Do you know if the results for 20A were correct? This was the first comp we've entered and were very excited to have placed.

You're a worse tease than my high school girlfriend!

This is the slowest work day ever now, I'm off to keep refreshing the webpage...

 

[dcp27]

Does it help to know that I'm looking at them right now?

[cskollmann]

Sweet! My first time placing in BOS, thanks again!

 

[dcp27]

congrats! hope it was worth the extra wait

 

[Zinc_Saucier]

Has anyone received their score sheets? I'm really looking forward to getting some feedback!

 

[zeekage]

Nope not yet. They are being mailed out this week. Stay tuned.

 

[naiserie]

just got mine today. either I mislabeled my entries or they mixed them up. I only received scoresheets for one of my two entries (which describes a pretty good saison, being judged pretty harshly as an american wheat).

bleh.

I got mine the other day, too. My entries were just fine.

I actually wanted to commend the judges for not being harsh on a beer that I knew was out of style, but I really just wanted to know what they tasted/smelled/saw/etc....I mean the score was terrible, as expected, but the comments were great feedback.
