HOPS-BOPS 2012 Results?

[Driver]

Anyone happen to know any of the results?


The site says they were judging today, announcing winners around 430, but I guess that was just in person, at Nodding Head, and I couldn't make it. I'm trying not to be neurotic by emailing them, so I thought I'd beat the bushes here and see if anyone at least went. I'm sure they will post on their site soon. I think seeing all the GABF tweets has me expecting instant gratification.

Thanks!

Haha, I am currently in Denver for gabf and was wondering the same thing. I am sure they will post them soon but the suspense is killing me.

I am wondering also. I shipped three entries out to this one. With most comps having entries from all over the country, I wish organizers would make more of an effort to post online right away. Or, they could just set up a twitter feed for their competition. It is easy to have someone sitting there tweeting the winners as they are announced.

I keep checking the website but still no update. I've never been in a competition where it took so long for them to post the results.

Ha, you haven't entered the BUZZ Boneyard Brewoff then. It took them like a week one year. I still don't understand with today's technology that something can't be posted right away. It should just be standard practice as part of holding a competition to get the results online the same day.

Really lol? I was in the buzz off this year and I believe they posted it the same day.

They have finally got it figured out then. Do a search for BUZZ boneyard brewoff on this forum. We have all given them six kinds of **** for the last few years.

***I think you are thinking of a different competition. The BUZZ bonyard brewoff is a comp in IL.

 

[MachineShopBrewing]

It looks like the webmaster is working on it. the placeholder link is up but no results yet

Ok yea, the one I'm talking about was in Pa

Looks like a placeholder for results is up now....
hopsclub.org/HOPS-BOPS_2012/hopsbops12.html

205 entries according to that page.

Edit : whoops sorry for the redundant info! Didn't see that machineshopbrewing already had filled us in.

 

[MachineShopBrewing]

I wonder how long the results are going to be "under review"?

 

[Dukeman9988]

Yea, seriously? Are they watching videos of the judges drinking them or something ?

Maybe its the replacement officials. :cross:

 

[Dukeman9988]

They already screwed me once against the Seahawks

 

[jeremy0209]

I too am awaiting the results. Somewhere there is a BJCP judge dressed like a zebra with his head under a hood.

I wonder how long it takes to upload the results list? Just another competition I am not going to enter anymore. There is no excuse in my book for leaving a job before it is done. Posting results is part of holding a competition. If a club can't handle that, then stop doing the competition. There are just too many people who enter these comps from far away, and we would like to know the results.

 

[lovemybrew]

Ok, anyday now........

 

[jeremy0209]

This is the first time I've entered this comp....they're not doing themselves any favors by dragging their feet. I mean, at least put a blurb on the homepage updating us on your progress.

 

[MachineShopBrewing]

I have tried emailing twice now just to find out when they will post, so I don't have to keep checking back. No response...

This is looking a lot like how the BUZZ club out of IL runs their comp.

 

[Dukeman9988]

Yea I don't think I will be entering this again. Anyways, what did everyone enter?

 

[jeremy0209]

#40 Cascade Pale Ale
10 lb US Two Row
3/4 lb Crystal 40

3/4 oz Cascade 60 min
1 oz Cascade 20 min
1 oz Cascade 10 min
1 1/4 oz Cascade flameout
2 oz Cascade dry hop for 10 days
11.5g US 05 rehydrated

Single infusion mash @ 153F for 90 min
Batch sparged in two stages
Boiled for 60 min
Primary at 64F for 7 days
Secondary at 70(ish) for 10 days
OG: 1.053 FG: 1.013

I've got about 16 bottles left and it's awesome (dry and bitter and sticky)
I'm hoping for a score somewhere in the 38 range.

 

[MachineShopBrewing]

hi matt,
they'll be posted after they've gone through administrative review. We don't have the
official results yet.
Cheers!
Nancy

wtf?

 

[Dukeman9988]

This is very shady

 

[MachineShopBrewing]

I have never heard of an "administrative review" on a home brew comp before. What the hell does that mean?

Is that in as an American pale ale?

 

[jeremy0209]

Yes it is. I entered it as 10A.

 

[MachineShopBrewing]

I entered an american ipa, am. brown ale, and a RIS

This is very shady

That is an accurate description of how they handle their competitions.
They ran the competition to see who went to the GABF Pro-Am with Dogfish and they were judges on the panel and were not blinded to which brewers brewed which beer (we were pouring for a crowd in a bar). After announcing the winner the winning brewer went up to the stage to say a few words and thanked George and Nancy for his recipe! That was a WTF moment. Small conflict of interest there. But I'm just bitter I came in second.

 

[MachineShopBrewing]

It is starting to make sense now... as this is a feeder comp to the brew with Sam comp.
