If you haven’t shipped it yet (I hope not), log into the site you are registered for and edit your entry to what you want it to be. Then, if your entry is paid for, you can print your labels and tape them on the packaging.
Hi, Paul. Also just added that 16 oz. cans are okay since a lot of homebrewers use these and they are still small enough to fit into our sorting boxes. Cheers!

Total noob question here, but what quantity of beer should be submitted for each entry? Not seeing that posted anywhere.
Hi there @uscmarty rules have 2 bottles/cans for First Round and 3 for Final Round. Under ‘How to Enter’ Enter the 2026 Competition - American Homebrewers Association
I have entered and paid for 3 entries. Will I be able to edit my entries up until I am ready to print the labels for shipping? I have several beers currently fermenting and I don’t yet know the final stats on them and I may want to sub out one beer for another later in case one of the beers is “suboptimal”. 
Hey, Tom!
Thank you for entering!
Yes, you should be able to edit entries well after registration closes. The exact dates for editing deadlines do vary by site, since their shipping windows and judging dates are different, too.
Check with the site you are registered at for the ‘entry edit’ deadline. If it is not showing, ask your local organizer. If they cannot find it, let me know and I can go into their site and look it up.
Good luck in the competition!!
Is the edit date the end of the shipping window for a site?
I don’t see the edit dates listed on the site.
Hi, Steve
It varies by site based on receiving dates. Contact your first round site for exact dates if you can’t find them. The organizer can look it up on the site.
Thanks for entering!
Where are the site organizers listed?
Go here and click on your chosen First Round location. Each Site Organizer contact info is there. https://homebrewersassociation.org/national-homebrew-competition/
There’s a contact link, but that isn’t working for me. It tries to open gmail, but doesn’t give any actual contact info.
Which location?
Tampa, please.
Could be a gmail issue on your settings (?), but no worries either way. Here is email: Tampa.NHC.2026@gmail.com
Why carpet bomb, the chance of you winning anything is pretty low anyway!
It’s all set. He was also asking via email.
In general, for anyone out there, the last day to edit entries is generally the last day of the receiving window, which varies by site. Check the site for the receiving dates if you can’t get through to an organizer there.

Editing my entries is causing me to have to choose a table number now, not sure if this was by design or accident. I didn’t have to when registering. I looked them up here on the website, but it seems like a way to easily make a mistake.
It does print off on the label and only the entry I edited is showing the table number, should I go manually add these to all of my entries?

Maybe I missed this but I need to register to judge the final round of the NHC to keep my certification active. I don’t know if this has been published as of yet.
