LAB Open Competition - (results are in)

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Good to meet you virtually last night. I was the other newbie on the call (Luke). I'm shocked you've only been brewing 3 years as you are super knowlegable

Hi Luke!

It’s always good to put a face to a name.

It’s actually nearer 4 years but given how much I’ve read and how much I brew (at least one 20 litre batch a week) I’ve picked up a lot of information and gained quite a lot of experience in that timeframe.

I’m determined to keep practicing though!

When are you planning to brew your beers for this. I am not sure when to brew the saison, I have the tripel already fermenting

I’ve already done my Helles (the day Meatloaf died, so that’s the name of my beer sorted “Bat out of Helles”), then my witbier is planned for late March

Probably toward the end of next month so they’re conditioned and fresh, hopefully!

Heads up!

There will an additional 50 entries for the LAB Open so if you missed out first time round you now have a second chance - but you’ll need to be quick to register, log your entries, and pay your entry fee.

The additional places will become available this Wednesday 16th, at 7pm.

The link to the site is in my first post on this thread. Good luck!

I think they're also looking for judges if anyone is interested.

Got the last one!!

Looks like April 1st has been set for payment of entry fees. If you haven’t paid and still want to participate, don’t miss the cutoff.

I got an email tonight saying all entries have to be finalised by the 18th, and anyone dropping out has to let them know by the 10th.

If you have already paid and drop out do you get a refund.

My tripel is taking it's ******* time to come good. I may be down to just My saison

I was really worried about my Helles because it looked really dark in the FV, sampled it tonight (because of the email, to see if I needed to get another brew on as soon as I kegged my wit) and the colour is perfect although it’s not quite as crisp as my previous efforts.

Put something else in if the Tripel isn’t ready. You can change categories until the 18th.

I am going to post one over to Dave to get a second opinion.

Exactly this. No need to pull out. Time to make another brew.

I did see there are likely to be a few more places opening up as unpaid entries are being removed.

If you want to take part keep an eye out for available slots by following the link in my opening post for this thread.
