The deadline for submitting your beer was November 17, 2008. The cost is $10.00 per entry 2 bottles per entry and can be mailed to: Split Rock Resort Attention Homebrew Competition One Lake Drive Lake Harmony, PA 18624 2008 National Home-brew Competition Rules & Regulations Please note that AHA style guidelines have been adjusted to meet industry standards. Carefully read each style description before selecting a specific category for your entry. Category numbers have been changed in some cases. There are 24 categories of lager, ale or mixed-style beers, three categories of mead and one category of cider. All have subcategories that use small-letter designations. If a beer is entered, for example, as "10b) Strong Scotch Ale" it will be judged as a Strong Scotch Ale against the other entries in the "English and Scottish Strong Ale" category. Except for some categories where special ingredients are used (see Part II), judges do not see your recipe information. They do, however, use these guidelines when evaluating your entry. The following section gives more detailed information about each category and subcategory. You should use this information to decide how to enter your home-brew. Please note that when a style characteristic is designated "OK," this means it does not have to be apparent but it is permissible in amounts indicated. When the term "noble-type" hops is used, it refers to European continental-type hops such as Saaz, Hallertauer, Tettnanger and Spalt, to name a few. Categories are designated by numbers. Subcategories are designated by letters.
