Quick announcement to let all NHC members know that tickets for BrewCon 2016 being held on Saturday 23rd April are now on sale!
This year's theme "Pushing the Boundaries" will focus on furthering your education and teaching you how to turn your good beers, into great beers!
Gordon Strong, President of the BJCP is this years BrewCon 2016's keynote speaker. Also speaking, Chip Walton of Summit Brewing, former videographer/editor/producer of Brewing TV and presenter of Chop & Brew, a blog and web show about unorthodox ingredients and fermentations.
Great presentations from our own members, all aimed at how to improve your brewing knowledge and make better beer.
Early access to the event at a special launch price of €50 (a saving of €10 on the full price), when the tickets go on sale this morning.
Like the National Brewing Championships we are expecting high demand and once we have hit capacity that will unfortunately be it as the venue has a strict maximum attendance.
We'll have the usual goody bag stuffed with loads of goodies (worth as much as the ticket alone), food and drink at the main break and entry to the beer tasting session in the food hall after the last talk where you will have the opportunity to have one on one discussions with any of the speakers. I'm particularly excited about this as we have lined up some great beers this year to serve up!
There has been a unique link sent via email to all members to enable you to avail of the discount. If you haven't received the email please drop me a PM.

These tickets aren't transferrable, DNA profiles will be checked at the door, if you have bought a ticket and for whatever reason can't go please return it for a refund and we will make sure it goes to an NHC full member on the waiting list first.

Alright there, Action Man!! ;D
Is there any kind of time table to this yet? I want to see if I can fit it in before I work that evening. Few pints beforehand... Be grand.

Very rough guidelines, similar to last year:
Talks from approx. 10am to ~6/7pm-ish
Im relatively new to brewing (9 months allgrain). Hard to answer, I know, but would most of the talks at this event be aimed at the more experienced brewer?
Your brewing all grain for 9 months, perfect!
All the talks, are aimed at all levels of home brewing - everybody should be picking up new info, ideas & techniques whatever level they're at.
Remember you need to walk before you run - start implementing one change at a time rather than trying to change everything at once.
There'll be bits you'll pick up that'll make better sense maybe a couple of months or brews later; the 'Aha' moment.
Book your ticket & enjoy the day.

For the 51 53 :) Members that bought tickets on our launch day, thank you, nearly 1/3 of the way there.
I'm pretty sure i registered but never got a mail so i reregistered. How long should it take to get a mail?
Jawalemon it looks like your membership has expired? The offer only went out by email to full current members today, can you check your renewal status?
For those that registered on the nhcconference website an email will be sent out next week when the tickets go on general release.

Thanks
There was me waiting on my email and it appears my membership expired.
I renewed my membership just now - do I need to reapply on the Brewcon site?
Off topic but maybe a reminder email "your membership will expire in ... days" could be an idea?
Cheers,
Colin
Set it to autorenew in paypal when you rejoin and never have that problem again.

To repeat folks if you didn't get a mail check your spam folder or the mail that your paypal account is registered to.

You might want to alert people to check their Paypal auto renewals- mine didn't activate last year so my membership lapsed.

Is there a waiting list for members who didn't get tickets? There's a chance BavarianGal and myself may not be able to make it (should know for sure by tomorrow) and I just want to see if we'll be able to sort something out with the tickets.

So, what's happening on the day? It's going to be busy; we have packed the schedule so we're starting early.
Doors open at 9.30am for registration, (registration & auditorium doors close at 10am) kicking off with a welcome by Thomas Carroll, NHC President.
The

A short break for coffee, followed by Dr Bill Simpson and finishing up around 6pm after Rossa O'Neill & Alex Lawes, Rye River & Whiplash on the couch.
Then upstairs, for the BrewCon Cup judging, to the drinks reception.
For you to get even more out of it, here's a chance to ask one of the speakers a question; the one you've been meaning to but just haven't got around to >>
