We have had questions about the bottle size for entries..
6 x 500ml or 1pt glass bottle is the standard - see the rules on the webpage.
Cornies also accepted and 330ml bottles but you will need 9/10 bottles to meet the 3lt entry quantity.
Sutton, Derby or Skipton type events allow the attending brewers to sample the beers that have been entered after the judging has been completed.
So one or more of the organisers needs to open bottle and pour the beer into jugs so you can then sample without the risk of sediment in your beer.
We normally use 1lt plastic jugs and keep checking the tables for jugs that are nearly empty and decant another bottle for sampling as required.
If a beer is presented in 2lt plastic we cannot present the beer in its ideal condition.
1 - Even if we had a bigger jug the full amount would be sitting there for several hours getting oxidized.
2 - The last few pourings from the bottle would not be worth drinking due the sediment being stirred up.
