National Homebrew Competition

[Deadhead]

Just been on the website and says Account registration will open Wednesday 23 November, 2022 12:01, have they changed the date?

Yeah, it appears so. Hmmm

 

[Deadhead]

I'm in, with my 1 entry

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Me too

 

[Stu's Brews]

I'm in for one - not 100% sure what yet though!

 

[AJA]

Do you have to choose the BCJP category now?

 

[DocAnna]

I have been daft busy so had not entered the Scottish nationals, but will be putting in an entry here. Needing now to think about what I put together for this. I'm thinking of making a slightly tweaked version of my clementine and passion fruit Gose - but not quite sure if it fits the BJCP style guide due to the fruit included?

It would fit into 29A

You have to choose a category to register your entry but you can change it later once you’ve decided.

I’ve registered my entry. I’ve gone for Helles. I brewed it on Sunday so it’s touch and go whether it’ll be ready for the Scottish.

 

[Brewnaldo]

Entered, with the plan to lob int he same Munich Helles as the Scottish. Hopefully not setting myself up to get rinsed twice over for the same beer

 

[Alastair70]

I'm in. I've entered Two Llamas, the American Amber that is cold crashing at the minute. Still time to get something else turned round in the meantime if it hasn't turned out right.

 

[Broken Toe]

I think I'll follow your lead on that @Alastair70 I'm in for beer as well.

as ever.....a lot of potential judges may read this thread and, whilst there may be a degree of anonimity due to "forum names", I'm sure that some judges will know who the "real persona" are.

You need to therefore be careful with regards potentially unblinding your entries by discussing them here.

Thanks - I hadn't thought of that

Yes but can change it

Especially important if you plan to brew what you suggested...its not likely that there will be another one of those!!

Spot on Nick, people should not discuss their entries on here. The judges are very fair but it’s hard to be equally fair if you know the brewer.

I have registered and paid. I like that you can change the style at a later date as I have no idea what I shall be submitting.

All competitions are the same. One of the comps I’ve entered in the past (I think it was LAB) tweeted a joke about the number of category 1A (American Light Lager) that had initially been registered, and that they don’t think they ever get anyone actually entering one.

I’m now considering brewing one for a future competition just for a laugh (not this one, and it’s probably unlikely I actually will). A Cream Ale won Brewcon after all.

 

[Deadhead]

I do love a cream ale!
