Hey brewers,
Comp time is fast approaching so get those air-locks (or glad wrap if you are that way inclined) bubbling! Prizes are still being finalised so keep an eye on the website for the latest.

Cheers,

Prizes are starting to be finalised. Depending on entries, prizes will be allocated prior to the comp.
Here's what we have so far:

The Townsville Brewery - spend a day with the brewers brewing beer on a commercial set up followed by a tasting!
ESB/The Brew Shop (in Sydney) have donated some Castle Malt, some hops and some White Labs yeast!
Homebrewers Warehouse (in Townsville) have donated some American 'C' hops and will be donating some medallions for place getters!
On top of this, all entries will receive feedback from at least 2 judges who will try their very best to give you constructive feedback.

A massive thanks to the businesses listed.

Reminder that entries close Tuesday 21 August for comp day on 25 August.

Cheers.
