General Comments not specific to any category

•  If there is no documentation, the item will not be judged to afford the entrant the opportunity to better exhibit their piece and re-enter the next fair.

Brewing and Vintning

• All entries must be appropriate to time, place and culture.
• Entrants must be 21. This is not negotiable.
• Untested distilled projects will not be judged. Distilled items must be tested to certify that they contain only ethanol. You must produce a certificate from a lab to enter distillates.
• A recipe and/or ingredient list must be included in the documentation, or the entry will not be judged.
• Sanitary methods of preparation and preservation should be strictly adhered to even though they are not period.
• One bottle per entry.
• Style should be period and documented.
• Each bottle should be labeled with the mundane and SCA name of the entrant, the type of beverage (beer, wine, mead, cider), a brief description of the entry (i.e. brown ale), and for wines and meads, the sweetness level (dry, semi-sweet, sweet).
