Title: Liffey Brewers Second Competition
Post by: admin on October 12, 2013, 10:00:21 AM
We're toying with the idea of running a small competition in December, maybe 50 beers max, but running it as an official BJCP exam, i.e. registered and points for all concerned. Small entry fee and possibly a cash prize.

It would be open to anyone.

Trying to gauge the interest from people outside Liffey Brewers. Is this something people would be interested in?

Could be a possibility - we keep saying we should come down to a meet but December might not be a good month.

Hopefully be around the first week of December if possible

Any tips on what's being aimed for? I'll be brewing in the next few days.

Thought there was a 90 day notice period on BJCP comps?

Ah Ha! Quote:

" The competition registration fee is $30.

Competitions should be registered at least 90 days before the event is held. This allows ample time for the registration to be processed, and for you to receive the registration materials in time to be useful. If you don't register at least 90 days in advance, you may not have your event published in Zymurgy, and you may encounter delays when attempting to enter your organizer's report. "

So is there a minimum notice period?

And what does this mean "you may encounter delays when attempting to enter your organizer's report. "

I know recently the 90 day was mentioned to a comp. as to suggest it was not registerable!
