    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Hi Everyone, Just a clarifying post with regards to the mead and cider categories. When this was discussed with the AABA committee last year, it was decided that because a number of states weren't necessarily going to be able to judge those categories, the points from those categories wouldn't...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Apologies for not updating the website yet - I've been off work since a couple of days after the AABC and not had access to where I stored the results doc. Back on deck tomorrow so will have sorted by tomorrow night. But the results were all emailed out a week ago, so if anyone hasn't received...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Michael, My apologies, you're correct - my adding up didn't, well, add up. I'll have the website updated to reflect this. On a side note - with regards to the score sheets, everyone should have them by the end of the weekend. My plan was to scan them in and email them out, with the option of...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Hi all, I know it might be a bit late, but I've finally got around to putting up the finer details of the AABC this year on the website (www.aabc.org.au). As has followed since the great inaugural ANHC way back in 2008, there will be a club night associated with the event on the Saturday night...

    Tasmanian Entries For The 2010 Aabc

    OK Taswegians, The Canberra Brewers have completed their last club comp, so we are now in the lead up to the ACT Amatuer Brewing Champs (held the last weekend in September) - where they will be also judging any Tassie entries for the AABC at the end of October at the ANHC. Unfortunatley the...

    Tasmanian Entries For The 2010 Aabc

    Hi, To help foster a greater inclusion of Australia wide entries into this years Australian Amatuer Brewing Championships, the AABA has asked the ACT if they will provide 'judging services' for Tasmanian brewers wishing to enter. It was a toss up between the ACT or VIC but with the increasing...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Further to what DrK mentioned, club support to this is crucial - not sure what the Vic boys do, but in the ACT, we hold the ACTABC as close to the Nats as we can. Plus the CBC club comps are held to support the brewers getting feedback and being able to re-brew. We have 3 club comps a year...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Phew ... Sorry guys I've had hectic couple of weeks since the Nats (its fete season here in the ACT and with two kids in school and a missus on various committees ... I know I know excuses are like arseholes - everyone's got one). I pleased to say that the first batch of feedback was sent...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Apologies, Chuck the embarrassed competition secretary here ... I did make a mistake in transposing the brew title into the results. Johann did indeed win, but with his espresso stout - the sour raspberry imperial came a very credible 4th with 121 points ... and speaking oif the full results...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Hi BribieG, You're right - the CBC has been associated with the Wig & Pen, and that is definately part of the reason of our success - having all our members within a half hour drive also helps, along with a couple of very experienced, very good brewers (some of which are now professionals). As...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    We are aiming to get the first beers served by 9:30, but there might not be a great deal of room for spectators. If you have every seen a beer judging session before, its hardly a spectator sport ! Given what the weather is supposed to be, you're better off sleeping in and heading to the Olims...
