From\: Janis Gross [mailto\:janis@brewersassociation.org] Sent\: Wednesday\, May 13\, 2009 12\:46 PM Subject\: NHC Information \; Hi everyone\, Congratulations to all of the First Round winners of the AHA National Homebrew Competition (NHC) this year! \; I know all of you are anxiously awaiting the information you'll need to send your entries to the Final Round of the competition. Most of this information can be found in the National Homebrew Competition Rules &\; Regulations document\, but I'll highlight it here as well. \; If your entry placed 1st\, 2nd\, or 3rd\, of if you have received an Administrative Advance from me\, then I will send you the information on where to send the Final Round bottles. \;This mailing will most likely start next week and take all week to complete. \; + You need to send 3 bottles for the Final Round. \;If you only have 1 or 2 bottles\, then send those. + The entries are due between June 1st and June 10th. + You will need to supply an entry/recipe form for your entry. \;I am working on making this an online form and will have that information in the package I send to you. \; The score sheets should all be in the mail by now. \;If you have not received your score sheets yet\, please be patient as the First Round Site Directors have lives and jobs too. \;If you were waiting for your score sheets in order to re-brew\, you've probably waited too long at this point. \; I hope this helps! \;Good luck in the Final Round of the AHA National Homebrew Competition!
