October 2019 Competition - Dark Beers

[user 18729]

I've also got a coffee porter that I've kegged that I would like to try and send in but I'm slightly concerned about oxidation as I would need to bottle it from the tap...

Has anyone got any tips for bottling off the tap? I've not got the money spare to buy a counter-pressure filler before any suggests going down that root.

Length of silicone tubing from the tap to the bottom of the bottle. Chill the bottle down as well to stop the beer foaming

How long do you think it could keep in a bottle, should I wait until the last minute before filling it and sending it off?

Wee heavy coming your way Tim, hopefully.

Oatmeal stout all gone. Have a mild I have just put on but it needs time to condition so will not be ready sorry. Any chance of a cider comp...?

Whilst I've not tried this method yet, I've been researching how to get beer out of my new Fermzilla and into bottles. I watched this first method and also read/seen other videos of people doing the same thing. I think this is what @Hopsteep is referring to as well?

There has been some chat every now and again of a cider/TC comp. Someone just needs to set it up. No reason it can't run in parallel with the beer competitions.

Hi all, sorry for not getting back to any of you, I was on holiday in Italy all last week. So upon my return my recycling bin was filled with surprises! Rather than figuring out which beer is which and replying I’m posting a pic of all the beers I’ve received safe and sound so far so if you see yours below then it has arrived absolutely fine.

 

[Tim Hunt]

Just got home from work and received this one too. Looks like I’ll have to drink it last

 

[Subtle Duck]

Glad it reached you safe and sound

 

[MartinHaworth]

Nice one...

 

[chrisb8]

Finally got round to sending mine off today...

 

[MartinHaworth]

I do have a Schwartzbier that is just about ready.....now, it is really a lager...but it is dark...Could get it in the post by Friday? When are you judging?

Cheers

Martin

 

[MartinHaworth]

Hold on, just seen that November is lager, probably fit better there...I'll hold on.

 

[BREWERS DROOP]

Is their room for one more? post Friday if you send me your details its a Licorice stout.

 

[Tim Hunt]
