That's a lot of entries in cider!

I know, I know

I wrestled with this a lot, but since the conference is in my backyard I had to show my local club some love.
Now off to the HBS to get my ingredients for my rebrew for finals!!!!!!

I was pleased with rd one results, 6 medals in Philly, 3 gold, 2, silver, 1 bronze. BN is off to a great start to defend! Glad I could contribute. And some of my best entries didn't place! 40 pt saison and a few high scoring stouts. Rd 2 is going to be very competitive, as always. Go BN!

Nice work. I remember seeing Fairfield, CT pop up more than once on the results when I was looking through them.

Are you going to NHC? Sounds like you have a good chance to go up on stage and give Janis a hug

Nice work! Good luck in round two!
By the way, both Philly and Pittsburgh brought it strong with 9 entries each. The BN has some influence on the East Coast!

Unfortunately I will not be going to NHC. I will be watching on the BN simulcast though. Looking forward to getting my entries together for rd 2.
