Cheers for the delivery the other day John.

I now have all of Capital members Kveik yeast. I have only been contacted by two people so far to arrange handover. If you have entered under capital can you DM me to arrange something. Cheers,

Johnny

I have my beer rocketing away as we speak. Pitched the Odin yeast at midday and the airlock was kicking goodo 3 hours later.
Just wondering if it would be against the competition rules to use a dry yeast at bottling for carbonation? There seem to be issues with Kviek and bottle conditioning.

I bottled last night and the Odin was in a fairly compact yeast cake after 5 days. I added a sprinkle of US-05 to the bottles as the beer was crystal clear. Kegged most of the batch do can use that either.

OP has been updated regarding the use of yeast at bottle conditioning stage.

An exception has been made for those who are going to bottle condition - If bottle conditioning with added yeast, only http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/lallemand-cbc1-11g-p-2825.html may be used. Any use of CBC1 must be communicated to us by sending a pm to fishjam and by also writing it onto your bottle label before drop off.

All yeasts have now been dropped directly to each entrant or their respective club reps nationwide, thanks again John.

Happy brewing ladies and gentlemen !!!!!

Most entrants have messaged any changes to their beer name and style.

Can those who didn't declare a beer style/name when entering or who want to change anything on their entry please let us know.

Thanks,

Donny we'd need to have them well before the competition for sorting etc. 

Drop off closes on 7th September, you need to get your entry to your local club rep by then and we'll liase with them.  Have you contacted your local club rep?

We are happy to have anybody attend the competition on the day but it'd have to be after judging is finished.  We'll have more precise times closer to the day.  No doubt we'll all be hanging around for a few well earned beers after the judging is finished as their is a great selection of beers in The Harbour Bar.

Thanks,
Colin

Folks apologies out of the loop for a while just get your beers to the individual who you got your yeast from.

CH

Ok will be collecting beers from the 9th to the 13th from the kind folks that facilitated you collecting your yeast, any problems just let me know.
Make sure they are labelled and elastic bands only please on bottles
They will be stored in a fridge up to the comp unless you mark on bottle otherwise but will go into fridge night before
