Hi guys. I have a quick question for you about my Mazer Cup entry. What SG readings would be dry, semi-sweet, and sweet? Also, what are the Strength Qualifications (abv or SG drop) for Hydromel, Standard, Sack?

thanks
 
Take a look at the BJCP Style Guidelines on the mazer cup site. The bottom portion of the first tab has the info you're looking for.


Vital Statistics

OG: hydromel: 1.035 - 1.080 standard: 1.080 - 1.120 sack: 1.120 - 1.140+

ABV: hydromel: 3.5 - 7.5% standard: 7.5 - 14% sack: 14 - 18%

FG: dry: 0.990 - 1.010 semi-sweet: 1.010 - 1.025 sweet: 1.025 - 1.040+

Thanks Brian. I couldn't get the mazer cup web site to work. All of he links were coming up as "can't find page".
 
The judges won't know what your actual measurements are. Those are guidelines. Enter based on taste, aroma, and body/mouthfeel. If it's really sweet, then sweet. If not sweet at all, then dry. Everything else is semi-sweet. If it burns or leaves alcohol after, it's a sac. If it has no recognizable alcohol then hydromel. Everything else is standard.

Good Luck! :)
