Guys It is the Bigfella here from the Country Brewer. Yes, I am in the shop on a Sunday to meet a customer from out of town. I think the idea of some private E-Mails would be a good idea and not rely on the forum. I would be prepared to hand out a small flyer from the shop to my Grain Brewers...

Guys I am Brian who has the Country Brewer shop here in Bathurst. We had a Brew Club formed back in 1996 which had about 20 members of which about a dozen were always keen. This was all before Grain Brewing became more popular. We used to run a huge homebrew comp. each year but gave that away...

Goldrush Kits went off the market years ago.

I don't usually make any comments on the forum but regarding these competitions I feel I would like a say. As most of you would know we ran a very successful comp. here in Bathurst for many years with great success. We don't do it any more for many reasons. Getting judges to travel to Bathurst...

Just to let you know the Bathurst Comp. is no longer. After 15 Years we have given it away for good. The Bigfella

Fair enough. I can understand about entrants wanting results within "30 seconds" of the last beer being judged. I got it evey year either with a call on the Mobile or an E-Mail on the Saturday night when I was enjoying a cold beer and handing out the winners their goodies. That was why we...

Mate, I just ripped it in to you and I am afraid you deserve it. Why on earth would you put such a ridiculous statement on a forum for us all to read and then say it was a joke. Well, this fat duck did not find it funny at all as I would think most of the other entrants didn't either. I think...

Mate, you have to be kidding. Who is the CLOWN in the Show Society who has made this decision? I hate to think what reaction you are also going to get from your sonsors. You are going to have a riot on your hands buddy. I can tell you from my opinion that if this is the case I will be...

I know the NSW Comp. is in September at Castle Hill but I can't find aywhere to download Entry Forms. The syles are OK but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to download Entry Forms. Can someone please point me in the right direction? The Bigfella

We are just having a year off. No particular reason at all. It is a lot of work and I can tell you after building it up over the past 15 years we all deserve a year off. Mind you the Bathurst Comp. would not have got to where it is without the help of some great people out there in homebrew...

I have just put a post up that we are not running the Bathurst Comp. at all this year. The Bigfella

We are not running the Bathurst Homebrew Comp. at all this year. After 15 odd years of doing it we are having a year off. The Bigfella

Yes, I must agree with Wiggo. You have done well again Barry - and so soon after doing well at Bathurst again this year. It is a credit to you as you make a great beer and you get the results out of the competitions you enter. Wiggo and I even scored a medal or two in Adelaide this year...

Thanks mate. All good now. Brian

Please can anyone tell me where to download Entry Forms, when the cut off date and where to send entries to Canberra for the Nationals in October? I am getting asked by some of the winners from the NSW Comp. held here in Bathurst and I can't find any info on the internet anywhere. I know Barry...

I want to claim a record here :) :) :) Made my first batch of homebrew on 6th January 1983 but bought my first hydrometer later that year and I am still using it today. It still has the price label on the little cardboard tube it came in from a local health food store at the time. It cost...

To the supporters I give a BIG thank you and you are in the majority. To the rest I do not give a toss as I get off my arse and run a good competition and the knockers/stirrers can all get f#*%#ed. I am happy with what we did but you knockers are enough to want me to give it away. Instead of...

Darren I have avoided posting in this debate but I can tell you that a judge who can pick his beer in a flight of 20 is new to me. Some specialist beers, yes maybe, but most beers - no way. Any way who are you cheating - only yourself. The simple answer is if we don't have entrants judging...

He had it listed on his entry form as a kit so that is why it is listed. The reason we say it is kit or mash was for feed back to our sponsors but it is quite often not even stated so from now on it will not be distinguished. Cheers Brian

Another quick note to tell you all that the Judges Sheets, Certificates and Prizes are all packed and will be mailed out on Wednesday. Don't forget that anyone on the Results Sheet with a "Q" have qualified to enter the National Comp. in Canberra in October. When you get your package it will...
