Yeah, you're right, i spent all that effort making those beers, to get them evaluated in such a big competition, I might as well do it right.I have only done this by filling a pyrex measuring cup off of a tap, then filling a bottle. If you have used the soda bottle/carb cap method, why not do that again? Use a 16 oz soda bottle, fill that off of your current bottle, zap it with the carb cap on to desired carb level, pour a couple oz off to taste/determine, then pour the remainder 12 oz into a comp bottle? Good sanitation and purging you should be fine, deadline for entries isnt until 4/1 (at least for me in the NE section), so you could do this 3 weeks from now and not have any worries about oxidation come comp time.

Unless I'm reading the wrong rules (always a possibility), it's one bottle for the first round, and three for the second. I'm not really worried about scrounging up four bottles.https://www.homebrew...Regulations.pdfI didnt read the rules yet, but I think last year they only require 2 bottles. So you've got that going for you, which is nice.

Yea, they changed that this year. Last year I believe it was three bottles. Now their only asking for one. Better for me!Unless I'm reading the wrong rules (always a possibility), it's one bottle for the first round, and three for the second.
