IPA fest / 25th Oct 2014: REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!

[Hingo]

Just wondering what's the craic with feedback if you can't make it to Galway next weekend? Will we get anything emailed back or?

I was originally planning in heading across for the day, looks like a good day you've planned but I have a family gig on now instead   


Also, I'm very paranoid that one of my entries may have gotten mixed up with a peanutbutter imperial red ale I made around the same time... I had them in separate boxes but when I went to open a bottle the other week believing it to be an IPA, it turned out to be the red.. I'm pretty sure it was a once off mistake and the 2 bottles for this entry I handed in are IPA but I suppose just to give you a heads up. If it comes out garnet red with no hop aroma, don't bother drinking it (unless you fancy a break from IBUs)

All labels have been emailed. If you havent got yours can you send me your email address & I can search for the paypal payment.

If you cant make the drop point we accept entries by post. Mail them to the Galway Bay Brewery address in one of my previous posts.

@Hingo - If it is a mix up Il have the judges score it for you anyway.

Re: Score sheets: We wont be mailing any back as our budget wont allow for it. We got 2.45e I think off each entry with a good chunk of that gone on prizes & the rest going on food for judges & stewards on the day. What I can do is email you back a high quality pic of your score sheet. DO NOT SEND EMAILS ASKING WHERE YOUR SCORESHEET IS! This is a competition run by homebrewers with full time jobs/kids/life & any comp admin is done in what little time we have to spare. We also live in Galway & things run at a different pace here so please be patient.

Thanks, Galway Homebrewers.

I'd even be happy with the overall score if you were to maybe post a list here. If you can't no worries, I'll see if one of the lads can grab my score sheets of they're Westbound

Winners will be announced here. All score sheets will be emailed in due course.

Just wondering what goes on at the event itself, probably heading down from Dublin for the day, did think the event starts at 3 but now see it's at 12. Would like to have a drink or two so will probably get the gobus, last one leaves at 7 so that should leave plenty of time?

There will be a couple of homebrews on tap. Come have a beer & a chat. Its a nice part of town. The judging & results, prizes etc should be well wrapped up by 7pm (we hope)

Details of the venue, The Commercial Boat Club

The bar won't be open on the day, as it's a fairly old school bar devoid of craft we decided to go without.
Instead we can bring our own and as Tom mentioned there will be homebrew on tap for spectators to sample. Also if people want to bring a bottle or two of their latest and greatest brews for others to taste and a good chat of all things homebrew feel free!
I'll have tea, coffee and biscuits on offer too for anyone on the dry.

It promises to be a good day out so pop in, introduce yourselves, have a drop and a chat, Galway HomeBrewers are looking forward to meeting everyone!

Tomorrow is the final day to drop off your entries to Against the Grain, Dublin.  Please get them in on time. Thanks.

One of the prizes arrived in the post today. A nice stainless dry hopper:
