So we've seen some of the names of the beers entered and we've had an idea.  To add a little bit of fun to the competition we'll be giving a spot prize to the best named entry.  The prize? A good ole bag o' cans  ;)

A staff member from the Harbour Bar will choose the name from the list of entries on the day to keep it impartial.

I've decided on my beer, how do I update the form without submitting a new one. I can't find a link to it in the email.

Tony / Robotmonkey,

Please PM me any changes/updates to your entry, for example style or entry name.  I'll change your entry on our spreadsheet then.  If you want to hand write any changes onto your existing bottle label when you print them off too that'd help.

Thanks,
Colin

The entries are coming in thick and fast, thanks to everyone who has entered so far.

We've already crossed the half way point of the maximum amount of entries.

Some entrants have left the beer style and beer name section of the entry form blank to fill in later when they decide exactly what they are brewing.  This is a great idea for those who want to enter but are undecided as to what beer style they are going to brew, at least that way you are in the competition before the max amount of entries is reached.

Just a reminder to make sure to pay for your entry after filling out the entry form.

"Make sure to click on the Green Pay Here button when you've finished filling out the form.
This will take you to the paypal page."

There has been an amazing response to the competition and thanks to everyone who has entered so far!


We've literally got a couple of places left to enter so if you are thinking of entering then now is the time and we will have to stop accepting entries shortly.

That's probably the best thing to do Molc.

You can always change your beer style and beer name etc after entry.  The most important thing now is to fill out the entry form and pay for your entry/entries.

If you're not in and all that  ;)

Just a reminder to anyone who has entered but hadn't decided on a beer style that you can PM/email me with any changes to your entry and they'll be updated accordingly.

Thanks

Played with a few recipes and have had different results each time. You can't just put the yeast in without some tweaking I'm finding. Going to be a very interesting competition to see how people work with the strains.

I was planning on doing one trial batch beforehand so I have a rough idea of what I'm dealing with (never used a kveik yeast before). What kind of 'tweaking' are you finding is effecting the yeast? Is it all temperature or is there more to it?
