Sounds good Paul. Might be worth looking up what Smithwicks did last year with the NHC and see what were the positives and negatives of that.

[Gugs44]

Great idea, I'd be up for that, maybe we could discuss further at Thursday nights opening meet up

[paultlynch91]

Ya see ye Thursday night

Slightly running behind, will be 10 min late, me and BigDanny

Great to get the club up and running albeit just the 3 of us but it's a start, the venues couldn't have been more obliging and great range of beers on offer while sampling our own which were all very good, here's to more meet ups and hopefully we get more people to come along

Congrats. No turning back now.

[BigDanny84]

Very enjoyable. Thanks to Dave for organising it all.

Hi guys

So I was talking to the three lads that showed up and they mentioned holding the homebrew competition after the new year, which would allow for an uninterrupted entry into the nationals and enough time for ye to brew. So how does the 14th of January sound to ye? I have been able to secure 200 Euro roughly in prizes from sponsorship with maybe more being added in the mean time

*edit will certainly be more in prizes

Great work being done down there!

First meet and a comp already - but a few questions spring to mind:

Who will be eligible for the competition?

Is it local or national?

How many entries can you handle?

You WILL need judges and stewards!

Great job getting the comp together. I should definitely have an entry ready. Are you going to pick a specific style to brew? I think that would be easier first time around.

Based on what was discussed with Paul last night, the competition will be open to anyone, other than that there is nothing decided yet.

Killarney Brewing want to support homebrewers, provide a venue and basically have a bash at the brewery in the new year. And I think they are completely open to suggestions on how it should be ran etc.

I have suggested that they get in touch with somebody that has more experience regarding competitions than any of the 3 of us in the club.

So I think if anyone has any suggestions post them here or message Paul himself.

It certainly was a great success for a first meet and that porter was something else Gugs. I'm looking forward to a bit of re sampling.

Massive thanks to Paul and the lads from The Killarney Brewing Company and to all the staff at The Celtic Whiskey Experience.
€200 worth of prizes already is phenomenal Paul. Fair play. Just let us know what we can do to help.
