Anybody taking entries down this week? I am going to enter a couple beers.

I just put an ipa on co2 yesterday, so assuming it's carbed and doesn't taste too green I'll enter. Won't know till a bit later in the week.

I will be taking some entries down but I will not be going down till May 5th (the last day). So, if there are any late enteries I would be willing to take them. That Saturday is the start of Maifest in Amana and it is a pretty good time if anyone hasn't gone before. Wurst, Polka Bands, and Beer what more could you ask for??

Congrats on the medals, guys!

I thought about entering my CAP, but then I realized I'd get more enjoyment from drinking all of it than winning an award for it. One of these years I'll trust myself enough to make bigger batches of beer and actually save some for competitions.

I find it interesting that the competition had more "Bock" and "Light Lager/Pilsner" entries than "IPAs".

So I submitted a beer for category 10a and on the thirsty results page they only show first place even though there were 12 entries. I wonder if this is an error or if they only awarded first place for American pale ale?

Matt F · Post by **Matt F** » Thu May 17, 2012 1:54 pm

That usually mean two things. One, it is just an error and the rest are not posted which is the most likely case. Second, none of the other entries scored enough points to place which seems doubtful. Even if you are say second place, the beer has to earn enough points to pass a minimum threshold in order to place.

I think you have the wrong Kyle as I have never brewed with Travis.
