Title: National Homebrew Championship - Anyone entering?
Post by: MickLiquor on November 23, 2014, 11:51:24 AM
I know you guys are producing some top quality stuff, covering a wide variety of styles.  Any interest in sending some local entries?

Hoping to put at least 2 or 3 entries in.  Planning a dry january (apart from a beer club or two ahem ;) ) so should have time to brew something for it.  Have already held back a couple of big bottles of the coffee porter we did recently for this very reason :)  No idea how it will age but worth a try.

Absolutely get beers in for this lads.
The trick bit is logistics which can take a bit of juggling but we always come good.

This may be a stupid question, but can you enter kit brewed stuff?

  Absolutely! I do believe a couple of kit beers were medal winners last year! Enter anything that you think tastes good.

No such thing as a stupid question.

Yes, you can enter kits. There were some very high scoring kits in the last 2 competitions.

Definitely submitting at least two beers for the comp.  I'll have to get around to reading the guidelines.

there are free apps for the iPhone BJCP STYLES is the one I downloaded, it's great to be able to take out the phone and flick through the different styles.
