The 2016 NHC - Results/Speculation Thread

[surgical_ass]

Our club had two awesome members hand deliver. :rocking:

Too bad I brewed marginal beer. It's in the "zone".. but just barely.

I "judged" mine and I figure about:

36 for the american brown. (nothing really screams american about it)
36 for the DIPA (brewed on 4/20 I think it's too old for what it will be up against, right now it tastes great, but in 10 days not sure.)
38 for my Amber. Solid beer might do better than a 38 just depends on how they feel about the hops.

I hit a home run with my ipa rebrew. Hopefully it will be well received in the competition. If not I still get to enjoy the rest of the tasty brew myself. Win win!

Sent mine second day air last week. It was delivered at 10:30 am on the second day... so, all went well I think. I was happy with all 3 of my rebrews. So, hopefully the judges agree.

It was pretty sweet being able to live close enough and deliver my entries. Just too bad my wife did it for me when she drove up to visit her parents and I couldn't checkout the brewery since I stayed home.

anyone know yet where the 2017 conference is going to be?

Rumor is Minneapolis...

Rumor is Minneapolis...

Also what I heard on the AHA Forum, and no one was denying it.

Seen a pic of the sign at the conference (on the bus heading there now). Looks legit to me.

 

[NervousDad]

I might attended that one. I bet it would be a great conference.

Maybe they can avoid the tornado warnings this time.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I'd like to, probably won't. Conference is expensive enough. Add in hotel and airfare and it's way too much.

This year I can take public transit the whole way (metro to bus to light rail but commuter train was also an option), and crash at my friend's place instead of a hotel.

Are they done judging already? I have an award letter link on my finals page that says I took 3rd in American Pale Ale.

Some of the judging is likely completely done by now...

Sometimes they accidentally release results prematurely. You should "screen shot" it quick, as they'll likely close it off again until after the awards ceremony on Saturday.

If it's true, congrats!

 

[67l35]

I have the PDF.

 

[bob1852]

I have the PDF.

I just saw there's a pdf for my "final round" as well, but the entry #, score, result, etc. boxes are blank.....

 

[67l35]

Mine is filled in.

 

[barrooze]

I'm stunned. I didn't expect scores until they announced winners on Saturday night! Will we get scoresheets for Final round also?

Who cares about score sheets!!! You enter NHC for final round medals!

Awesome job in a tough category!!

 

[bob1852]

Both of you, awesome job in a tough category!!

 

[surgical_ass]

Maybe it was the pale ales that were accidentally sent out. I'm still blank with my ipa results. Congratulations fellas!

 

[67l35]

44, Nice. Pretty big drop off from 2nd to 3rd.

 

[stat]

My APA entry is blank and entry number is 00000

 

[barrooze]

Thanks! Again, I'm stunned. Well done to you as well!

If it's anything like the first round, the beers may have been served at different temps, resulting in greatly different scores, but if you advanced to mini-BOS, yours could have shined brighter than higher scoring beers. For example, I got 1st at Austin with a 34.5 while 2nd got a 43. Toby G actually judged that round and said that the beers at the beginning of the flight were much colder than those near the end, so that impacted the scoring, though obviously the judges advanced those they felt had merit.

I'm not saying this is what happened at Final Round, but it's possible.

 

[surgical_ass]

Although my letter didn't have any score on it I did notice it was worded different from the two that placed here. Mine said "thank you for competing in the final round" where the two winners here said " congratulations on medaling in the final round" and it dosent have a place for placement only score. Maybe I'm looking too much into it or i didn't place and their easing me into disapointment lol

 

[bob1852]

Looks like the letters are gone now...

 

[NervousDad]

Congrats!!

 

[mwilcox]

Letter is gone but still shows my score of 39.5 and 3rd place (Spec Cider).

Did beer BOS yesterday. Some damn fine beer there. Two of 26 missing because brewer only sent 2 bottles.

Congrats to everyone that won.
Cheers--

[Qhrumphf]

Letter is back up, entry 0000 and blank, no scores. At least I'll be at the banquet just in case.

 

[NervousDad]

only one of my entries has a score and a place.

Bet those 2 folks are kicking themselves...

 

[Braufessor]

Damn.... not looking good. 44 on my Dortmunder - but no place. Looks like I am now up to 5 or 6 beers over 40 and mini BOS .... but, still searching for that elusive medal.

Congrats to all.
