Today marks a fun day for the BrewUnited community. Things are slowly starting to come together on the website; now, it's time to kick things into gear. To mark this, I am happy to announce the first in a series of "Get Involved" contests.
No purchase is necessary to enter. What is necessary is, quite simply, to get involved.
Well, what the heck does that mean?
It's easy! Every time you make a meaningful post to the forums, you get one entry into the contest.
For commenting on a blog post, you get one entry.
For adding a recipe to the database, you get three entries.
For creating a blog post of your own, you get ten entries.
The contest starts now, and runs until 11:59 PM (CST) on August 31st, 2015. On September 1st, there will be a drawing, and the winner will receive a custom tap handle from Half Yankee Workshop.
This particular handle is the maple/walnut "Pinstripe" handle we reviewed at the end of July. This is from the "Seasonal Series", and includes a magnetic tap sign treated with chalkboard paint. This handle retails for $70.
Official Rules
No purchase necessary for entry.
This contest is open only to BrewUnited community members, and you must be twenty-one years of age (or of legal drinking age in your locality) to enter. Fortunately, BrewUnited membership is free, and it only takes about a minute to join. BrewUnited will never sell, rent, or give away your email or other contact information.
To prevent spamming of entries, a few caveats apply:
"Meaningful posts" are interpreted as those that contribute to a conversation. "Me too", "this", "first", and similar posts will be excluded. The same standards apply to blog comments.
Message board posts may be made either via the normal website interface, or via the new "post by email" feature.
Recipe posts for the BrewUnited Challenge are required for entry into that competition, and are not part of the main recipe database. As such, these are excluded from the "Get Involved" contest. Incomplete or nonsensical recipes may be excluded from entry.
Blog entries are subject to editorial approval prior to qualifying for the contest.
The drawing will be made via random number generator on September 1st. The winner will be contacted via email, and given 72 hours to accept their prize. If no response is made, a new drawing will be made, and the new winner will be given a similar opportunity. This will repeat until the prize is claimed.
Contest rules are subject to change, without notice. Any such changes will be reflected here.
At the present time, I have additional prizes lined up, so expect several more of these contests in the coming months!
If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here. Good luck... now, get involved!

So, who's up for winning one of these Javelin thermometers? Since I have the regular version in hand, I'll give one of these away (unless Lavatools wants to ship a pro version to replace it with).
You guys down?

The mailing address I have for the BU stuff is good for delivering this?
