I'll come back and edit this post to get everyone in it alphabetically, to link all of the sponsors, and to provide dollar amounts for each, but I just wanted to get this started.

As of right now, we have twenty confirmed sponsors for the 2016 BrewUnited Challenge, with prize contributions at somewhere around $3800 (at least). Considering that we were just a fuzz over ten sponsors in this time last year... I'm very excited.

Sponsors include:

SS Brew Tech (7 gallon Chronical, ARV $395)
HomeBrewSupply
BrewerShirts
The Brew Bag
Label Peelers

Also, I hope that it goes without saying, but if you are involved with a homebrewing-related company (or know of one) that we should contact as a possible, please do let me know!

You've got the yeast folks except for White Labs and Wyeast.

Maltsters? Briess. Rahr. Maybe some smaller producers like Riverbend Malting.

Nice idea, thanks!

Well, we've added sponsor number twenty-one - Homebrew Finds is back again this year, and will be contributing a $50 gift certificate to the winner's choice from a list of major homebrewing supply shops.

Also, Label Peelers is kicking in an additional $25 gift certificate above and beyond what they donated last year!

And now, we're at twenty-two. The Yeast Bay is back on board again this year, this time, with ten vials of their yeast!

Make that twenty-three - Brew Your Own magazine is chipping in a free subscription again this year.

I got three more sponsor confirmations today. As soon as I know exactly what they are donating, I'll update the thread with details.

Okay, one of yesterday's confirmations has clarified their donations.

Let's all welcome Keg Connection as a returning sponsor! Keg Connection is graciously donating a "build your own" jockey box, as well as a CMB V3S creamer faucet, for a total retail value of ~$194.

One correction - CM Becker is acting as their own sponsor with the creamer faucet. So more total sponsors, same total prizes.

I just got clarity from Chapman Brewing Equipment - they will be giving us three $40 codes and one $20 code to use as prizes. These codes have no minimum requirement, meaning that they spend like cash with Chapman!

Add yet another sponsor to the list - Craft Stir Plates will be donating one of their awesome custom sitrplates as a prize, and will also be creating a special coupon good for any BrewUnited member to use in their store!

Well, folks... we did it. We are now officially at more total prizes, dollar-wise, than we had last year.

The Brew Outlet is coming aboard and giving every single participant a free copy of the Brew.io Android app.

Keep an eye for for an email with instructions on how to redeem your copy!

Aaaaand we're now at about $5100 in donated prizes, folks.

And the absolutely BANANAS march of the sponsors continues...
