National Homebrew Competition

[Braufather]

I used sellotape to fix address. Note that a member of my local club advised not printing the label off the sote, or at least not the bit with the sender's address, as they once had an entry returned to them as the sender address is so large on the printed labels.

see what you mean. just printed mine off. Not sure my address should on there at all!

When I went to the post office, the asked if I'd write "From: <house number>, <postcode>" on a small sticker and stick it on, which I did, but yeah, it's easy to see why it might end up with the sender's address looking at the printed labels!

If you send with royal mail the stickers they affix on collection have the return address on anyway.
The discards the packaging and repacks according to category anyway.

That's my beers away now. No bubble wrap was harmed in the shipping of my beers.

Mine arrived yesterday, and there are many still yet to arrive in my category, so hoping it stays that way!

 

[Braufather]

Thats Mine gone/ out today. they didnt have any fragile stickers at the post office so i hope the journey over from Belfast isn't too bad!

I have removed 13 bubble wrap posts, in hindsight i probably should have removed the first when the first member took the bait and quoted it.
(those that read the removed posts will know what i mean)

It’s always interesting to see what the popular homebrew styles are at the moment. I’m guessing because it’s winter, is why stouts and porters are heavy hitting

This was as at yesterday evening, in case people wanted to know about their competition.

I can see some further combining of tables if the expected beers dont arrive!! Not impressed with the size of the tables my beers are likely to be on!!!!

I've been super busy and had a blow out puncture on the motorway yesterday so didn't get to post my beers. I'll post them tomorrow with expensive next day delivery!

I sent mine first class today and I’m starting to wish I’d gone for Special Delivery. Fingers crossed it gets there by Monday’s deadline!

Well I'm guaranteed to beat at least one beer because I've got two beers that I reckon will have been grouped on the same table!!!

Yes, I’ve had competition beer entries returned to me before now

 

[MickDundee]

According to Royal Mail, mine has arrived already

 

[Braufather]

im am really surprised that British bitter is equal lowest. i brew more american styles myself but have the odd dable with english ales and i thought a lot of people on here brew a lot of bitter?

Mine have been delivered now too.

Could be that whole thing of 'This doesn't show off my brewing skill like some heavily hopped NEIPA or lip smacking sour' which is so far from the truth, since each beer has its own quirks and well, for competition, you're making it to the standard. Or I'm speaking bollocks (always) it's just not what folks are fancying making right now.
