Lol

[DEMPSEY]

Your bang on.

[imark]

Would say arrogant, patronising and predictable were probably better description.

But in fairness they:
1) didn't say they'd give results and feedback.
2) gave f*** all time to actually brew for it so doubt they gave a s### what they got

So you can't expect much more from a non-beer-nerdy PR company employed by diageo to run a competition.

I didn't even save any to put in the club's comp!!

[PCBrewer]

I didn't bother putting in an entry in the end as the turnaround was too tight.
So has anyone any good recipes to use up the admiral hops I have?? 

[Leann ull]

3 year old hops make great Lambics , what? Ok too low

[armedcor]

Lol CH nail on the head. I actually tore the bag open to get some oxygen in there for my next lambic!

Going to nip into The Curraghgower in Limerick Friday to see how either of these could possibly have been better than mine

A DREAM COME true is the way it's been described by almost everyone involved

Amazing that they can publish an article announcing the winners of a competition and neglect to actually name the winners themselves. I can't view the video in work, are they mentioned at all??

[molc]

A dream come through eh? Looks like they had the article written before the thing even began.

Still, swings and roundabouts. Opening communication between the breweries and the homebrewers is always a good thing, even if the macro's can't actually organise a pissup in a brewery >

Erra I suppose technically they're finalists not winners yet, but they did introduce themselves in the video anyway and gave a bit of a speel about the brews. Looks like a pretty cool brewday to me!

[DEMPSEY]

And I want to find out about the lads from Celbridge

Well that was a Cockup.
4 of us turned up at The Ovens Bar at 7.30 last night.
None of the staff knew anything about the tasting.
Fully stocked with Diageo taps except for one Heineken tap.
We turned and left for the Hub.
