What's the turn out this month

Looking like 7 so far with one or two more in the post. Done well!

I'll do final stock check Wednesday /Thursday next week in preparation for judging with friends on the Friday evening.

Thank you to everyone so far i've let you all know privately that beers have arrived.
 
I've labelled everyone with some kind of note that was provided by the entrant. I'll post a pic pre judging with them all lined up.
 
Hello sorry I hope I’m not too late, I’ve got a dark I’d like to submit if that’s ok?
 
Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry for the wait!

Firstly I wanted to say this was a great experience for me and the lads and the quality of stuff that's been made by 'random strangers' is really quite impressive! We are by no means experts like some on this forum so for that I apologise... but its a great learning curve for next time and we enjoyed it!

So the top 3 from the whopping 12 bottles entered

1 - @Ghillie - Coffee Stout
2 - @strange-steve - Old Fishermans Ale
3 - @Ray1314 - Coffee Stout

I will PM the basic but honest feedback from the session, I hope people find it of use.

Sorry but I don't have any prizes this time other than pride but will look to arrange one for next time.

Thank you all
