I used Chrome to enter and pay yesterday.
Unfortunately, 21 was a long time ago… but, yeah, still in school:)
attending K-12 (13 years), College (4.5 years), teaching (21 years).
I do have entries at KCBM. 3 that I think are pretty decent and 3 that are new recipes I have not brewed/entered before and looking for feedback.
Likewise. Smooth from start to finish.
FYI I logged into the registration site today and saw my club was no longer listed… Went in to update it and noticed that it was now listing all the sites for stewarding and judging. I thought awesome they fixed my issue where my entries are going one place and I’m judging in another. I updated my info and now all my entries are gone… So… It seems they are still working out some bugs… I would hold off on updating that info for the time being…
I did notice that they fixed the Philly session times. Saturday’s morning session was scheduled for 2am. That made me laugh.
You’re judging the morning session, right?
Extra 1/2 point for the red-eye
Hi all,
We have posted an NHC FAQ page to help answer various questions. Please take a look http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/competitions/national-homebrew-competition/national-homebrew-competition-faq/. Let me know if you think of any additions we should make to the page. Thanks!
Cheers,
Janis
Looks good, Janis. Maybe add an entry that answers when the first round judging will take place and when the results will be revealed. Other than that, I can’t think of anything.
Frank, this gives you an idea of when the judging takes place this year. In the past, some sites will need extra sessions to finish.

Janis compiles the results. The official results are released by the AHA (Janis). You may or may not have your score sheets before then. There should be a cover sheet telling you if you placed, top 3, for second round. The cover sheet may be incomplete, so don’t drink all of your beers before the official release by the AHA, you might need them.
Thanks, but I actually know the answer. I was just giving her a suggestion to add to the FAQs like she asked.
Ok, rhetorical question it was.
Haha… I was just thinking of questions that I had last year as a first time entrant.
I’m getting an HTTP 404 error on that link this morning.
Anyone try to print their labels/recipe forms yet? No matter what I try, the bottle label is only 2" by 1.5" and spacing between lines on the recipe form is just over 1/16".
I printed mine the day I paid without issue. I don’t think you need to worry about the recipe form yet. At least that is what somebody told me.
Hi Gmwren,
This is from the NHC FAQ page (http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/competitions/national-homebrew-competition/national-homebrew-competition-faq/):

Q: I can’t find how to enter my recipe information; isn’t this required?
A: First Round of the competition, we do not ask for the recipe information. If your entry advances to the Final Round of the competition, you will be instructed to enter your recipe and be given instructions about how, when, and where to ship your three bottles.
=-=-=-=-=-=
The only entry form needed for the First Round of the competition is the bottle label. You can edit your entry information until the end of the shipping window, but be sure to print the most recent bottle labels for your entries. Good luck in the competition!
Cheers,
Janis
I guess I need to rephrase. The only printout I can coax my printer to do has a barcode from a mediocre inkjet printer that is 7/16 of an inch in length. I really don’t think there is a reader capable of capturing the fuzzy data, let alone me trying to write a recipe (if the time comes) in a 1/16’ high space. I read the FAQ before posting, so I’m interested in a work around to make the images larger in print. I tried scaling my printer without any results.
Have you tried different browsers? I know I have an issue with some browsers printing my labels tiny - while other is just fine.
That did the trick. I used IE versus Firefox and the eye test went away.
