Any idea after entries are received when the beers will be refridgerated??? Maybe I would be pushing it now to get another beer in?? :unsure:

Brew starts fermenting on 18-8, bottled on 1-9, entry in by the 5-9 and judging from 19-9.. So, 18 days from bottling till judging, pushing it....

 

[Jye]

After entry they will all be stored in the Craftbrewer cold room until the comp.

It could be enough time in the bottle, whats the style?

Someone once posted about carbing in bottle in 4 or 5 days, basically re suspending the yeast daily by turning the bottles upsidedown, would then sit for 2 weeks at Craftbrewer to settle and finish off.
Alternatively, keg, carb and CPBF.

CB,

We are happy to store out of the cold room any beers that need a little more time - Just advise at the time.

Cheers Ross

 

[clean brewer]

ordered my bottle carbing device last night :lol:

A kegerator would look great in the corner of the lounge facing the one that is already there. Six beers on tap :beerbang: B)


O/T did you manage to sort out screws for castors / guard rail yet?

I note that the results will be announced live by Twitter. For those of us who have better things to do with our lives than subscribe to girly gossipy twittery poo and do not hang breathlessly on the twits or twots or twats or whatever they are called, when is the earliest that results will be posted in human readable format and on what website? :icon_cheers:

 

[Gavo]

And with judging at the platform bar, is the event open to the public?
