Hey, did anyone out there get entered into the National Homebrewing Contest?

I entered for the first time this year, and it went pretty smooth.  I entered three brews, which I’m not going to say what styles they were, because I’m going to enter the same ones into the Great Basin Brew-Off, and don’t want to show my hand.

The new system they are using seems to work really well.  Did you know that the software is the same as what we use?  Just beefed up for the huge size of the contest, but designed by the same person, Geoff Humphries, of BrewCompetition.com.  That guy has helped a lot of us get competitions off the ground.

Anyway, feel free to comment, and let us know if you got through with any entries.

In case anyone is interested, SNAFU (Las Vegas) is hosting their annual Winterfest competition on March 28 and 29, and Bill Moreland (the organizer) is offering a free ticket to their beer/food pairing dinner/awards banquet to anyone traveling in to judge.

I would like to go, but can’t this year due to lots of reasons.  Yet, I went last year and got to know many of them because of it, and they are a great group.  Note:  I do plan on going there this fall for the Nevada State Homebrew Championships (NSHC), and so who can expect more than one trip a year to Las Vegas, if even one.

Anyway, here’s a link to their site.  Maybe, someone would be interested in entering a brew or two, and skip the trip.
