You're going about it all wrong.
I finished bottling my 6 comp beers tonight, and had Ross come and pick mine up :unsure: . He even dropped off my online purchase :lol: . You just need to know the secret hand shake.

Ok boys and girls lets see some recipes from those who placed, especially your APA Chris :super:

Heres my 3rd place effort in the speciality class. It was actually Screwys Red Ale with 5mls of SK rum added which is ageing on SK charred oak. The beer is interesting enough without the rum since the brett from 9097 has added a lot.

18 degrees, no cold crash, bottle from primary after about ten days in ferm.

Thanks for sharing, BribieG!

Why no cold crash on the Mild? Concerned about not having enough yeast for bottle conditioning?

Sorry Geoff missed your post:

Because it's fairly low alcohol the primary fermentation was only about four days and by the time it had been in the fermenter for ten days (actually you were standing right next to it on the demo BIAB brew day the other week :icon_cheers: ) it was clearing out well and nothing happening so I just bottled. As it happened there was not much yeast into the bottles and I had to invert the chosen comp bottles twice a day and keep them in the cupboard next to the stove to get them carbed up enough, so just as well that I didn't cold crash or I'd probably still be waiting

Won't have to worry about that anymore once the kegorator is fired up!
