I'd be interested in knowing further details (which I believe would only be available once a representative number of volunteers is obtained). So, for the time being, please count me in. Cheers!

Take a look in the Events, Meetups, Competitions and Bottle Swaps forum here: http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=25. The majority of details have been ironed out. :)

Might be worth saying only one winner per entrant and the highest scoring brew is automatically selected.

sure sounds good. I'll change the rules accordingly.

Hi, I'm interested, but I fear the logistics will be a problem, unless there are enough people local to each other who would do this. If travelling is involved, people will have to make a note of the yeast used, as some don't settle (and stick) as well as others.
I used to be in a wine / beer circle (many years ago!) and enjoyed the competition as you had lots of feedback. Strange how people think you don't want to hear the down side of a brew you've just made!
I never won a beer comp, I always came 2nd to a Boots Kit; ha! those were the days eh!
I've visited this site occasionally to see what's going on; my last visit was to say I've changed from malt extract to an AG brew.... what a difference!

It'll all be done by post, costs a couple of quid to send a bottle 2nd class so hopefully that won't put people off.

£2.85 second class postage each box/bottle by the post office to be exact. Works a treat [emoji1303]

Just a reminder that entries for the inaugural competition need to reach me by the end of October which is only 9 weeks away so if you haven't got a brew on for it yet you still have time.

How long does it usually take for the bottle to reach the recipient?

 

[Leon103]

Couple of days in most parts of the U.K.

I was thinking, is there a thread or post somewhere we can link to which has instructions on how to safely package beer for the post?
