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 athumb..

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?

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?

Any chance of a cider comp...?
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.

I’ll be judging next weekend if anyone else wants to send anything. There’s still time
