Good Day I put my name down for judging but my cold/flu is winning so I can not make it on Saturday. Sorry for any inconvenience. It is a shame I was really looking forward to judging and visiting Wayward.

About to set up to brew tomorrow. Plan to brew a no sparge Maibock. I have two mash tuns (coolers) etc., so I usually brew two batches at once. With the no sparge I mash the grist in both tuns then run off the wort. I then add more water to the tuns to get a second runnings beer (this time it...

Doesn't answer your question but there are a lot of good dry yeasts available now. Order on line, yeast and postage are fairly cheap. Safale US05 is a good clean, neutral yeast. http://www.fermentis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/SFA_US05.pdf Hope this helps.

Just received my scoresheets etc.. Lots of good critical evaluation. I had a great time judging and meeting up with old and new friends. So a big thank you to HUB, organisers, sponsors and everybody else involved in the comp. A special thanks to Keith Grice for his warm hospitality. Also a...

I have been to The Brew Shop. It has been confirmed that HUB are having two pick ups, one Monday and one Wednesday. Both by volunteering HUB members. This will cover all drop off points including the ones closed on Monday. Please understand this is what I have been told. I am not a part of comp...

The Brew Shop Campbelltown is also shut Monday. I am about to drive down there and pick up the entry left there and take it to The Brew Shop PEAKHURST. The entries dropped off at Kirrawee have also been brought to PEAKHURST. So the courier needs to go to The Brew Shop PEAKHURST on Monday. How is...

I have been involved in collecting comp entries quite a few times. I don't know the exact arrangements this time but someone(s) from the Hunter will be collecting them. I had the impression it was going to be the Saturday 1st August. Most of the shops are shut on Sunday. So I will be getting my...

The score sheets and gift certificates will be mailed out in the near future.

Just to be sure, the judging is Saturday and Sunday. I should be able to book a room there for Sunday night which is good. I think some people thought the judging was Friday and Saturday.

Potters is booked out so at this stage that counts me out for judging.

Yes I am a member of ESB. I know that The Brew Shop was asked to be drop off points and they agreed. They are also providing some sponsorship for the NSW comp. Apart from that "I know nuuffink!"

It is now essential to post details about the comp. I, and others, need to know so we can book accommodation if we are going to be part of the judging. Entrants need the forms, etc. 21 days to the comp, and I assume, 14 days to have the entries at drop off points which need to be verified. I...

Latest thinking is to keep at normal temp for a couple of days at least then cold crash.

Just a practical note, what is the need for judges and stewards, plus possible accommodation? I am looking forward to being a part of the comp but I will need to make arrangements in the near future.

Yes 25 grams would give you a good punch of aroma and flavour.

Yes you can just drop some hop pellets in (gently). They should drop out when you cold crash (best to take temp down a few degrees a day to avoid yeast stress).

That I don't know, hopefully it will announced soon

Just to reduce stress, unofficially I can tell you the different The Brew Shop(s) have agreed to be drop off points as well as some other homebrew shops. So get bottling and get those entries ready.
