Competitions for 2014 - Melb / Vic

[Yob]

So is IPA in? If you are working on a recipe, having multiple comps with the style allows for recipe tweaking and feedback before Vicbrew which is a good thing?

Yep.

New addition this year. Previously there has been no spec cat and much discussion about including it. I have removed myself from involvement recently due to some family stuff but there is a spec cat next year for the first time ever. I learnt that today. Apologies for misleading anyone.

Might enter this as my first ever comp. Silly question but I'm going to ask... entries can only be sent to the nominated businesses? Or is there somewhere else they can be posted to prior to the comp?

 

[manticle]

Just those listed. Registration is a big process.

 

[slcmorro]

I guess I'd have to contact the individual businesses to see if they'd accept a mail entry yeah?

I can also add that the GABF in Geelong this Feb is holding a comp.

Double check but I think most/all will. Just ensure entry filled out, fee paid, bottle labelled correctly.

 

[idzy]

What is the quantity that needs to be provided for the comp?

 

[idzy]

Sorry on my phone, BeerFest is the one I mean

 

[Yob]

1 Bottle per entry, minimum 500ml, 750 better,

No stubbies I think. (PITA for everyone)
