I got one anyway
1 bronze
Dempsey got a gold
Imark got a gold and silver
I got a gold, 3 silver and a bronze
Could be the best club out there??? ::) ( just a little club rivalry )
And if Tube had entered his beers we could have been HUGH :).
dodge I thought u wer the middle of nowhere branch of the NHC? ;D ;) middle of nowhere is a long way from the liffey...do I qualify as a liffeyr as I was there about 10 times last year?
Of course you are. That makes our count double. And to the other clubs well done as also rans :P :-*

I didn't enter any. Wouldn't have been fair on the rest of ye ;)
(Brewing up a 20L batch of my trademark BX DIPA at the mo: hopped the strike water, the mash, and will be dryhopping with 1Kg of BX... 9,000 IBUs)
ahem....silver medal here too
Someday when the midlanders can meet on a regular basis then I'd have to re align my loyalty but it's the liffeys that I attend on a regular basis. Maybe not as much as you Bren. ;D
To be honest I think my wife complains that I spend more time in Dublin. Than the middle of no ???where
Well done lads, i picked the right club to join ;D
I was just back checking that as my count was 15. Delzep they have forgotten you already :-[ :-*
how many beers have you heading down to cork, have 1 myself.
We have 2 more to be judged I think its english and Irish categories and maybe 2 as well in BOS if golds go to BOS but not sure really how that works.
Anyone know the BOS process?
I'm Roger now? ???
ye buts whats "best" tube, is it the highest scoring beers across all the Church entries or the golds or what way is best decided?
If only two of my other entries had of mad it past the bottle sorting intact...
Ok thats sounds good! So i guess we are in suspense till the announcements are made at the end :)
theres confusion over that tho...other posts were suggesting its based on medal.
I presume its in the BJCP book how all this works?
Well done lads!
Happy out with my 2 medals and hopeful that my last remaining entry for Cork will do me proud too.
3 week wait is murder!

I'd say I'll have a couple of beers that will be ready then. Like the informal setup and the samples for those that attend.

Sorry Bren but there is a new Twist to the old Pepper comp:
You are now expected to SWIM up the Liffey wearing ANY medals won in the last 5 years!
Its a form of handicap I believe!
As I congratulated you on Staurday: "Stay away from canals and rivers"
Just to show that we can brew any beer well ;D... I'm sticking a parti gyle american IPA / Imperrial ipa on friday. Seems as everyone seems to brew IPA's and I never have entered one. I know its a category that has a lot of entries so ill chance my arm there. Re lagers we at south Kildare invested heavily in a new brewhouse, lager ferment and lagering facility, a grand just for the electric hook up and courses, books and seminars and so on has moved us up a gear. Also an average of two brews per week and a lot of research into yeasts and water chemistry especially the pros and cons of soft water which paid off in the comps. So we are confident that our 5 medals in the lagers are very well earned and deserved O0
pepper is a small comp, I / we wont be greedy.. we will enter 3... a lager, an ale and an IPA or Imperial IPA.. or somethin like that. We arnt in it for the winning we r in it for the social and the enjoyment and most that know us would agree...the medals are secondary.
Weve another shout in Cork, roll on Cork comp :) and the BOS if we r in it!
BTW whos goin to the comp in cork?
