Smithwicks Homebrew Challenge

[Hop Bomb]

Has Diageo bought 50% of the NHC or what?

[Qs]

I have a porter that was made with Goldings and Willamette might just enter that. Nothing christmassy about it though. I'd brew one this weekend for it but don't have any of the required hops.

I can't get past the age verification stage.

I enter my info and click remember me and then submit and it just comes back insisting I live in Afghanistan!

Maybe I'm too old?

@Will: I've emailed you the form

Anyone get their hops yet? I was hoping to brew around the rugby tomorrow but if they don't come today then that plan's scuppered...

[irish_goat]

Hops were posted out Wednesday and yesterday so they'd hopefully arrive today.

Will if your IP address is not an ireland one that happens, I had same issue earlier in week with my work laptop / network

Smithwicks were actually worried the winner would be somebody who looks too young. 

Apparently the PR department have a rule that they don't use people who look under 25 in their photoshoots etc.
