      In a blind panic, I have now got four bottles to go in. Two white and two open.

      Not sure entirely that all are as ready as I'd like, but am on holiday from tomorrow so needed to try and get some out so i could get a little advice.

      Is it ok not to be treating this as a competition, rather as an opportunity for some helpful criticsm?

      My bottles will be in the post tonight, first class, although i hear there is a round of post office strikes affecting 25,000 members from friday through to monday.

      Hopefully mine wont get entangled in that.

              Got a bit of tinkering to do with my main show entries.
              When Karl gets his finger out and sends my labels, I know what I've got left/spare for the virtual comp.

                    Nope

                    To be honest, I have had friends visiting for the week, so what I have sent was all a bit rushed, and what we opened one of the nights.
                    I do hope they get there ok.

                    Thats exactly what I have done.

                      just entries in the open class, so only competing against itself....

                        • My two bottles of Rose should be with you today Bob.

                          I've got a feeling that I haven't read the destructions fully and not labelled correctly! (too much sampling again)

                          Rose #1 has a SG: 0.998 (10.5% ABV) and Rose #2 is SG: 0.992 (12.5% ABV)

                          Best wishes for the competition, everybody.

                          Davie.

                            dont worry about it at all, if they are labelled incorrexctly i will siomply re-do them, not a problem...

                            hoping to (time permitting) to set up a webcam on yahoo messenger so we can maybe let everyone see the proceedings (dont hold me to it though as im a fairly busy puppy

                              That would be realy good if you could
