CAMRA Homebrew Champion 2024

[Steven Thompson]

Only 49 paid entries on this so far. I had thought there'd be much more interest.

Seems like few prizes on offer, though. Anyone entered?

Entries must be received by tomorrow so skates on.

Would probably help if TMM had publicised it as well as sponsoring? Might have entered if I knew about it earlier.

T&Cs not great though…must be bottle conditioned, 4 or preferably 6 500ml glass bottles required.

According to the entry site shipping is 13th to 20th September, which I certainly hope is correct as I can't post my entries until next week!

Yes. It looks like the main page is wrong :-

All mailed entries must be received at Nailmaker Brewing Co. by 6 September 2024 – please allow for shipping time

It should say entries start on the 6th.

I nearly got confused by the date as well! was ready to send mine in on Monday until someone in the homebrew group pointed it out to me lol..

I think the bottle conditioning, 2L requirement is actually quite a high bar compared to other comps which i suspect puts a lot of typical comp brewers off.

I've read (maybe on here) that people in the past just add a couple of grains of dry yeast when bottling from the keg and probably got away with it

Most home kegged beer isn’t filtered anyway so technically already has yeast in and conditions continuously. Would be obvious to the pourer though?

I've had a reply from the event organizers; they've confirmed that the shipping dates are between the 13th and 20th September.
