I had planned to enter an eisbock, had it registered but then noticed they want 5x 330ml bottles. Not a chance.

They also accept 3x 500ml bottles, not sure if that makes it any better?
What are the prizes like at these sort of events?

Nah, I bottled it all in 330s cos it's over 11%.
There's some decent sponsors there so you'd expect decent prizes.

@strange-steve do you make your eisbock the 'traditional' way by freezing the beer and removing the ice?

Yeah seemed to work well, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

Nice. When I get a freezer I'm gonna try and make one. I'm really into my lagers and they seem to be very forgiving on my setup.

Have a look at my brew thread which includes the freeze concentrating. It was a bit of a ******** getting the temperature down in my old fridge, took 2 days to get low enough to freeze which was about -7°c!
We're working on the prize list, but as an example last year the 1st, 2nd, 3rd for Best of Show beers all got to brew their own beer with a commercial brewer, to be sold commercially.
Champion brewer got a Grainfather conical worth ~£400, 2nd got a SS conical worth £300, 3rd got their choice of equipment from Maltmiller up to £250.
All 13 tables also got prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd:
We're very particular about the judging and feedback - every beer should be judged by a pair of judges with at least one BJCP qualified judge (or equivalent), and you'll get written feedback sheets within a few days of the competition.

I just signed up. I'll have some beers to enter by then and it should be a fun day out. Never done a proper competition before.
You'll have fun. It's a real joy trying so many other beers.
Just 22 entries left now, so get in quick. http://londonandsoutheast.brewcompetition.com/
That’s my registration in.

Sounds good.
What for the forumites that have entered the HB comp? Yeah why not.

Yeah, would be good to meet and share some beers. I'd like to do more bottle swaps but I hate the post office, so seems like a good idea seeing as some of us will be in person.

Perhaps we could swap the beers we entered and then share the score sheet.
