NHC Results

[Hwk-I-St8]

I normally enter the KC region (even though I'm in NH) because I've always done well there and in the KCBM comp. The late date was part of the reason I didn't enter there.

I didn't know the dates. This is my first time and I just entered the nearby venues to possible hand deliver. Ultimately, the way my IPA turned out, it wasn't worth hand delivering (long story there...but literally my first bad beer due to circumstances out of my control). The other is a blonde and it just wasn't that big a deal to delivery that "fresh". Especially when judging was 3 weeks after the delivery deadline.

Anyone know what’s going on at the Indianapolis region?

 

[Braufessor]

I'm in the KC region...they aren't even judging until this weekend. They getting a head start on some today, but I've got a week to wait for results regardless.

Yeah - same here. I already did a rebrew on 2 and will do another this week regardless. The 4th is a dark mild, so I can wait on that a bit anyway. The other 3 are ones I like having on tap all the time anyway, so I just plan the rebrew in and if they make it, great. If not, I was going to be drinking it anyway.

Indy finished judging on Saturday.

One of mine got 1st. 1st comp ever entered. Now I just need to make time to brew soon. Needs time to lager.

Anyone ever enter beer from the same batch if your second batch didn't come out good?

I've entered and won in Finals with first round lagers when I liked them better than the fresher stuff.

This batch was odd. From the keg it didn't turn out exactly like I wanted. Hazy and not as bready as I want. I bottled from the keg. 2 for the entry and 1 extra so I could try it. I cracked it open Saturday and loved it and there wasn't much haze at all. I wonder if there is a small amount of yeast sitting on the bottom of the keg that I keep pulling up. With the bottle, you pour from the top and can leave the yeast on the bottom. I'd think after most of the keg is gone it would pull away the yeast but maybe not.

Anyway, I'll have to brew soon and just taste both to see what I like better. Excited to see the scoresheet

Wanted to be in Philly region with the other guys in my club so we could group ship, but listed alternative sites and got sent to Chicago which does not even start judging until this coming weekend. But re-brewing two of the 4 beers I sent next week, since by time Chicago results are posted it will probably be May. Have a Helles, American Light Lager, Czech Dark and Schwarzbier in. Schwarz made finals last year and scored a 40.5 but did not medal.

I'm holding off. It's right on the edge, timing wise, for the beer that turned out the best, but I'm pretty new to this, so odds of making through are slim. The one that I like the best (for past batches) ran into a diacetyl issue, so it'll be in the teens for scores I'm sure.

Anyone know what's going on with the Philly and NYC results still waiting to be posted?

Indy finished judging on Saturday.

Hmmm...website still says judging entries

Both of my Finals medals were first round lagers that I did not rebrew.

Both of my Finals medals were first round lagers that I did not rebrew.

I think my plan right now is to "try" to rebrew if I have time. The keg probably has 1/8 left so I will need more for myself anyway. If I can brew, great. If not, I think this batch will still be good. I would like to correct the couple mistakes I made and hopefully make a better beer but I can't be mad at the score I already got. I'm just not sure it will be good enough to medal in the final round.

As mentioned above...NYC did not finish judging and a email was sent out to judges looking to finish. A guy in my club here in Mass even got emails asking to come help finish NYC. From a post on Reddit, Saisons, Wood aged and Smoked beers are the ones that were not finished yet. Pretty much same with Philly, they did not finish the weekend of the 7th so did more last weekend. Whether they are 100% complete only time will tell.

For those still waiting for results, good luck and try to have patience. I recall waiting damn near three weeks for the St Louis results last year. The anticipation sucks, but sometimes it takes a little longer than expected.

 

[mwilcox]

8/10 regions finished during their scheduled weekend, with NYC finishing last night.
I suspect we'll see some results from the second weekend of regions released today. Good luck to everyone.
Cheers--

I'll be pretty annoyed if Philly doesn't get released today.

 

[SlanginDueces]

I’m still confused...if they have finished the judging at all the sites, why are they still saying judging entries?

 

[thrillhouse]

Looks like all of last weekend is posted. Still waiting on NYC and Philly.

 

[mwilcox]

First of all no one said all sites were finished. Secondly, forget about what the website says. When it says "judging" when said site's results have been posted you know it is not up to date.

9/12 have definitely finished. Philly hopefully did by tonight too. KC will finish tomorrow, hopefully Chicago too.

 

[secondbase]

They posted a ton of results late tonight. I finally had a beer advance!

 

[SlanginDueces]

Got 2 headed to the second round...I guess it’s time to rebrew!

 

[g-star]

Philly still not done...email asking for help came last night. They have two big tables left and are trying to finish today.

I would go help if I wasn’t already committed...bummer

Do you happen to know which tables?

Wow the AHA really needs to get their stuff together. They are paid in dues and entry fees but these two sites seem completely unorganized and poorly planned.

I am trying to be patient and I get that they have an issue getting judges. That being said, I am frustrated because they sent an email a week ago saying judging finished and now that appears to be false. Just own up to it and send an email explaining the delay instead of trying to cover it up and leaving everyone wondering what's going on.

 

[RustyHorn]

I'm skimming quickly through the thread and my brain grabbed "sour milk stout". Screech to a halt and back that up because I knew that wasn't right...

I did the same!

 

[2005STi]

Now all regions besides Philly/nyc are posted besides the Kansas City and Chicago obviously because they’re judging today.

 

[Hackrsackr]

Ny is up.

 

[fourfarthing]

Yup. NY is up. They forgot to include my name though...
