LAB Open Competition - (results are in)

[DocAnna]

One entry sent in yesterday with an early evening trip to the post office. We have a brilliant fairly local small shop that has a post office in it that is open late every day 7 days a week, which is brilliant for being able to get there outside normal working hours.

2 entries being bottled this week and posted Monday..just deciding on tracked royal mail or parcel force tracked royal mail worked for last comp.

Do you get notified when they receive your parcel

I did the first time I used it, but I didn't for the lager than life...I thought it had got lost then thankfully I got my score sheet which was a nice surprise

 

[dave_77]

Parcelforce seems better value for 24 or 48 express and can still drop at the post office

There is a 'recieved' box on the entries part of the website. Says its updated after all entries are collected from drop off areas.

Much is that for 3 500ml bottle's. Glass

 

[samale]

I have a big decision to make later. I just popped a saison V2 in the fridge. It's really young but I need to compare with V1 to see which I prefer. I am concerned about the sediment in V1. Last minute as usual

I was £8.40 for 6 bottles if that helps.

Taking mine up to Hammerton on Monday, then an afternoon in London!

If less than 1kg Royal Mail Special Delivery is £8.95, tracked all the way and guaranteed delivery before 1.00pm next day.

I hope you mean 10kg

 

[MickDundee]

According to the RM website, special delivery on over 2kg and less than 5kg is £14.95. I’d rather take the risk and save £6 for Tracked 24hr.

Saison V2. It's not ready, V1 it is

Think parcelforce gets better value over 10kg
Tracked 24 hour with signature for under £10 is not bad at all

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

I hope you mean 10kg

Nope, 1kg

 

[dave_77]

Nope, 1kg

That be no good then..need minimum of 2.5kg-3kg for 1 beer entry as you need to send 3x500ml.

 

[Alastair70]

I came in at just over 5kg. The bung on my bottle filler is too small for plastic bottles so they’re in glass. Postage cost around £7 or £8 with RM for standard 2nd class. Happy with both beers, but I’ve brewed better examples of each style in the past.

 

[Broken Toe]

Postman collecting in the morning. Not expecting a huge score but I would like to see if my intended outcome of the beers is identifiable, if that makes sense.

 

[samale]

I have mine boxed up ready to post in the morning. Not busting with confidence but I am looking forward to the feedback
