Hi All

Where can I find a copy of the entry form for this comp?

+ A quick heads up to JasonY..... His 'Award Winning' Oatmeal Stout (prize winner at our local WestCoast Brewers stout comp) will do well If he has any left to enter......

If your thinking of tyring this style - his recipe would be a good start IMHO..

Asher for now
 
oh well, looks like i'm out, only got those 'not to be refilled' bottles.

maybe next year.
 
I don't believe that the "not to be refilled" is an issue. I have asked Mike again and he will get someone to respond to these questions.

Cheers
Pedro
 
hi
Has anyone got a PDF of the entry form for the SA comp that they can post here?
I'm planning on entering a few crackers to keep you South Aussies honest..
:lol: :lol:

I tried Dave above yesterday - but I'm impatient... ;)

Asher for now
