I've got what possibly could be a silly question, i'm going to send in my first gold bitter 5.1% , looking at the BJCP guidelines it probably fits under 'Strong Bitter', on the styles accepted list on the Scottish nationals website the closest I can see is 'British Strong Ale' would that fit?

Looking at the site it says 11C Strong Bitter is an accepted category. Comes up on the list if I try and edit my entry.

Ahh thanks mate, didn't see that!

Is it me or is the shipping window really tight for this comp? (18th - 20th Jan). Without forking out for guaranteed next day, not sure how I would make sure it got there within the window, given unreliability of courier networks.

It was 15/01/2024-20/01/2024 originally. I will see if I can find a contact and ask them if it's a website error.

 

[YeastFace]

I think what's happened is the drop-off window has been updated, and perhaps that also changed the shipping window. I've sent an e-mail, so will let you know.

I’m sure it said 15th-20th last night. I cancelled one of my entries because I don’t have enough (good) beer available and checked the dates then.

 

[RichardM]

I thought it was 15th to 20th, but posting it second class on the 15th or first class a day or two later should get it there on time.

 

[YeastFace]

Harry, the organiser, has confirmed shipping dates are correct as there will be no one at the brewery from 15th to 17th. Will be lenient on any that turn up a day or two after the 18th though (comp isn't until 26th so should be plenty time to settle).

Thank you @YeastFace - really appreciate you clarifying

Last minute entry here, first time entering a proper national competition - excited

Am I reading the rules right you have to send 3 x 330ml bottles?

Haven't totally finished digesting all the rules yet but it looks like you don't label the bottles, but rather print out some accompanying paperwork?

Also, if you enter 2 different beers do you know if they have to go in one box (tricky) or is they can be boxed separately (easier)?
