Home Brew Comp

Meet and Eat - Home Brew T&C's

Yay, you've decided to enter the inaugural Wild Food Meet & Eat Home Brew Comp. Below are our terms & conditions (T&C's)  - by entering this competition, you do so in the knowledge of, and acceptance of these T&C's.  

  1. All samples submitted become property of the event and will not be returned. It is the entrant’s sole responsibility to ensure entries reach us safely. The competition organisers are not responsible for any entries damaged in transit or handling.
  2. To be eligible all entries must be pre-entered online before Monday 21st November 2022. Entry Drop-off closes at 1pm on event day Saturday 26th November
  3. No requests for day-of-competition entries or special handling will be accepted, except for in-style pouring instructions for stewards.
  4. Each entry requires 2 bottles containing at least 500ml volume. Other vessels (e.g. cans, plastic bottles) may be used instead of glass bottles providing the volume requirements are met. Larger bottles (e.g. 2 x 750ml) are fine to enter.
  5. If necessary, the competition organisers reserve the right to cap entry numbers to a manageable number without notice. Currently the competition is capped at 200 entries.
  6. Commercial beer is not eligible for entry.
  7. The same beer may not be entered more than once per competition.
  8. The competition organisers will not reassign entries into different styles, all entries will be judged as the style it was entered.
  9. Prizes involving brewing a commercial batch are subject to recipe, process, and scheduling approval by the commercial brewer. If a suitable recipe cannot be derived from the original homebrew, another may be negotiated.
  10. All co-brewers must be registered for every entry, with one person designated as the main brewer. Any prizes will be awarded/delivered to the main brewer only. Teams of brewers are subject to the same entry restrictions as individuals.
  11. Entries/entrants found breaching the rules may be disqualified at the organiser’s discretion. No disqualified entries will be returned or refunded.
  12. Commercial brewers may enter, however the beer must be made entirely at home using commonly available home-brewing ingredients and processes (e.g. no producing wort at work, then taking it home). Kit beers, fresh wort kits and brew on premises beers are fine to enter.
  13. Commercial brewers and competition staff/organisers may enter and win awards, but are ineligible for any award prizes or spot prizes. Prizes will be given to the runner-up in these cases. Judges may enter and may win awards and prizes.
  14. Tape the labels onto the bottles using clear packing tape, covering the label completely to prevent it being ripped. Let your bottles come up to room temperature to help the tape stick.
