National Brewing Championships 2019

Great news. I know this gets asked every year but even if you pay before the 2nd March I assume the entry can be adjusted up until that point? (meaning payment doesn't lock the entries until the deadline?)

Hey Pheel,

If the entry is in by the closing date we will do whatever we can to facilitate brewers (within reason of course)

[Pheeel]

I meant if I pay today will the site still let me edit the entries until the closing date? Exceptions are a PITA!

[Dr Brown Ale]

It has worked like that before.

Was just looking at the registration page there, are ciders and meads back on this year?

Oops, my bad. I forgot to remove them from the comp site. Cider and Mead will not be included at this years nationals. Site updated to reflect this

Grand job, thanks Mick.

[Pheeel]

I took a look at the comp site but I couldn't work out the answer to this. What's the max number of entries in total (not per person) we're accepting into the comp?

[redshift]

I noticed there's no category 34 in the drop down menu when registering an entry, is that done purposefully?

[Pheeel]

We've not had for the last few years AFAIK. Do you have a beer that genuinely can't fit in any other category?

I think so, I have a saison blended with white wine.

[Jonnycheech]

Is that technically even a beer so?

Well it's only like 5% wine 
But it's enough to take it out of the saison category.

[DEMPSEY]

more importantly,is it nice

[redshift]

Well it's not actually finished yet, but preliminary trials were promising. The flavours of a reisling blend really well with a saison I reckon.

[Pheeel]

My personal opinion. I think there's a difference between blending a beer and a non beer versus aging in a barrel which a non beer was originally in (or even staves, cubes etc). I don't think a beer with added Whiskey is the same as aging it in a whiskey barrel (cubes etc)

Besides you shouldn't mix the grape with the grain
