Re: Wishbone Brewery Homebrew Competition
I'm in obviously only suggestion would be a lower abv only because as those that have been too similar previous events we end up drinking each other's bottles in the afternoon and for me the night time festivities are well worth staying awake for

Re: Wishbone Brewery Homebrew Competition
We can change the style, how about Brew your best European-Hopped IPA. Entries with American or Antiopodean hops will be drained poured

Re: Wishbone Brewery Homebrew Competition
Oh great... I've just brewed a beer with (aussy) Vic Secret and 2 types of American hop, which is looking good! It has got Admiral in it too though, and bittered with Magnum...pdtnc wrote:We can change the style, how about Brew your best European-Hopped IPA.

Busy in the Summer House Brewery
Re: Wishbone Brewery Homebrew Competition
As mentioned on the other thread....I will definitely enter and provide a poly pin for you
If it's only half as good as the Saltaire do, it will be a great day.

I can't do the 27th either!
Maybe we could share a taxi or at least help each other get home

Re: Wishbone Brewery Homebrew Competition
We could look at the 20th August maybe, our limiting factors are our regular bar events http://www.wishbonebrewery.co.uk/events/ I'll check with the Boss (Wife).
Re: Wishbone Brewery Homebrew Competition
Have you borne in mind a lot of people may be away, it being summer holidays etc? At least for attending if not submitting entries

Re: Wishbone Brewery Homebrew Competition
On previous events we have taken into account Easter and avoided it by 1 week, Easter has passed for 2016 and there is always a need to give people the time to brew their beers.
As you can see http://www.wishbonebrewery.co.uk/events/ we have restrictions, a life outside of brewing, appreciate our free time on weekends.
We are not going to put a homebrew event on the day after one of our Friday bar days, the Saturday bar day is oviously out of the question so that leaves roughly the last couple of Saturdays per month.
If we ask everyone that is likely to come for a date we will be hear until next Easter plus we are obviously only getting a really tiny sample of people via JBK so not seeing the wider picture.
If its too much fuss this year we will have to plan for 2017.
Post your Preferred date and that of those that you know would come.
