E-mail attached below about the medal. With the score for the GW 6 points is about the maximum in differences that is OK, if it is more than that the two judges will typically adjust their scores up and down to compensate and meet closer. Yeah, it's a large gap, but not unreasonable. Michael Lessa wrote: > Hi, Brian! > > Thanks for entering and congratulations on your win.

I'm counter-pressure filling some of our Saturday IPA and we're submitting it to Split Rock. I want to get a decent review of this beer so we can send it to the judges in this competition with a big "F-U" attached. I don't know what these fools were smoking, but they obviously didn't taste OUR beer. I wonder if they got some entry sheets mixed up or something. Great scores on the Gnarelywine... although the 32 vs. 38 score is quite a disparity. Don't think I've ever had a beer where the judges' scores were that different. Don't worry overly much about the extra medal for me if they say no... don't need one to know its a good beer :-) That’s it… I’m counter-pressure filling some of our Saturday IPA and we’re submitting it to Split Rock.
