Doh! Sorry, I should have read the OP.
I have one bottle left...I shall have to hide it from myself.

You'd have time to make a fresh batch. :thumb::grin:
That'll be great (if no one objects to my tardiness).
Entry 3 waiting at the post office, entry 4 received yesterday...still hoping for 10 by the end of the month. :thumb:
I'm bottling my effort this weekend so it'll be in the post Monday with carb and conditioning instructions [emoji106]

I would imagine one of those is mine, if you could keep it out the fridge until tasting that would be awesome:thumb:

Mine's bottled and sending it off Monday... fingers crossed!
Bottled mine tonight. It will be winging it's way in the post in the next day or so.
And most likely being the last to be opened as it'll just be carb'ed and conditioned by then [emoji6]

You can't hurry love! Thus spake the Supremes, and it seems as if their sentiments are also true of IPA. With Doctor Mick kindly prepared to turn a blindish eye to my tardiness I ventured forth to the Brewery last night to check on the progress of my competition brew. I figured I could dry hop then package on Monday morning for a swift delivery and hopefully carbonation would complete faster than normal. If not all I had lost was a few bottles of homebrew.
Now, I am a great advocate of leaving yeast to do their thing, and then leaving them a bit more. I tend to allow a minimum of four weeks, so I rarely peer into a tub to see cloudy bubbling wort. However, due to leaning heavily on time and the colder weather, that's what I found. It also weighed in at a mere 1.020.
I can't see this being ready for bottling for a few weeks, so all I can say is thanks for the extended time but this just ain't going to be ready.
After all, it's a game of give and take.

Mine is in the post -- I hope all bottles will get time to condition properly before judging. I don't even know if it's good yet !!

Otterly Awry is tasting pretty good, six weeks after bottling. I wasn't so keen three weeks ago but it's matured wonderfully. Looking forward to some feedback.
Got another 4 entries, I think...I wouldn't recommend Hermes for sending bottles, they chucked one over the fence! :twisted: Thankfully it was well packaged so survived.
Yep, although if one turns up tomorrow I'll include it. :thumb:
I've got bottles everywhere so I have no idea! :lol: I'll take a tally tomorrow, I think there will be at least 10.
