    G'day all, Cleaning out my workshop today and dug up my MarkI Temp Controller with Heatbelt. It's in great Nick, used for only 6 months. It's this one here: $30 if any AHB'r can use it. Located on Central Coast but happy to post Cheers

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Gday all, Doing up my entries tonight to send off tomorrow, and just wanted to confirm I'm not missing something. There's no actual bottle labels per se, so its leave the bottle unlabeled, rubber band the entry form and entry money, and send her in. No marking on the actual bottles?

    Castle Hill Competition 2015

    Cheers to all involved, especially Stu, huge amount of work involved and it's ran smoothly once again! And thanks to the sponsors! Quite happy with my results, the little Altbier that could keeps kicking goals! Great to see a very high standard across the board, gotta say, when you're scoring...

    NSW State Comp 2015

    Got my feedback and very shiny awards today, cheers to all involved, gotta say the rosettes look great! Been reading through the feedback and it's brilliant, big thanks to all the judges (and stewards) involved. Gotta say, I've entered a few comps now, and the feedback from this is by far the...

    Castle Hill Competition 2015

    I just left it blank for my Specialty IPA entry, didn't have any issues submitting the form. Looking forward to seeing how my beers fit these new styles, should be an interesting comp!

    Castle Hill Competition 2015

    Finally sorted my entries and I'll be dropping them off tomorrow. Tell you what, narrowing 11 beers down to 3 entries for category 3. British, Irish, Commonwealth was a challenge this afternoon, after all, have to fully taste test, don't I? :) Wish I could pop in to help out, alas, working...

    Experience With Wyeast 1968

    1968 is probably my favorite yeast, it's a cracker, and by far the best English yeast I've found. It's unbeatable for lightly carbed english beers, and the proof is in the pudding. Last year my Mild Ale brewed with WLP013 scored second in the states, this year I used the same malt bill and ferm...

    NSW State Comp 2015

    Thanks Les! And all involved. Ive seen just how big an effort these things take, its no small task, so thanks to all! Couldn't be happier, finally cracked a first, not once, but twice! And five entries heading off to the nationals. Knew it was a good idea putting ciders in!! :D Cheers all!

    I'll happily share my Belgian Pale recipe that scored a 39.5 but got pipped for places due to the Best of Show if anyone is interested :)

    NSW State Comp 2015

    I find clear packing tape works a treat and is the easiest

    NSW State Comp 2015

    Cheers. I've got over 25 entries for this comp, had 12 for ESB and a few dozen for Castle Hill aswell, so I know the pain only all too well!! One final question, with more than 1 online entry form needed, I'm assuming I number them 1-25, rather than 1-8 then starting back at 1, right!

    NSW State Comp 2015

    Cheers mate, was honestly doing my head in, although that may be the ciders I'm trying to figure out how to describe! And just one final question, the numbers I put on the hardcopy are the same numbers I put on the entry number on the bottle labels, right? I've entered a few comps, but I'm...

    NSW State Comp 2015

    Ok, this might come across as a silly question, but with the entry forms (online and hard copy) as well as bottle labels, I'm really confused as to what the Entry Number is. The entry form states 'Entry number on bottles is number as on entry form, both hardcopy and electronic'. Yet, the...

    Any good recipe ideas for English IPAs?

    I really like WLP007 - Dry English Ale for my English IPA's. I mash a slight bit higher to allow for a little residual sugar so it doesn't go super dry, but still get great attenuation. Keep grainbills pretty simple. I use 85% MO, 5% Rye, 5% Crystal 60 or 90, 5% Munich. Aim for a high OG of...

    2015 ESB Homebrew Competition

    Got my results back today which were more than pleasantly surprising! Talk about a tough competition, my Belgian Pale scored 39.5 and still wasn't enough, testament to a high quality comp! Considering most of my entries were very early in carb, most only 9 days out of the fermenter, I'm very...

    2015 ESB Homebrew Competition

    Great to hear it went well, always a well run comp! I'm eagerly awaiting the results, apologies if any judges copped some undercarbed but otherwise good beers! First time I've carbed my english ales to near cask level too, so I'll be interested to see how those went! Cheers to all involved!

    NSW State Comp 2015

    Les, Thanks for your work in quite clearly doing everything you can to get the information out. Entry forms, dates, pretty much full info. There's been obvious issues with timings, but as you and others have reiterated, have brews ready. That's what I've done and I'm all apples now. Cheers mate!

    NSW State Comp 2015

    Or what styles are being judged (meads and ciders?), how many entries per style/category, etc Its a shame, because I've spent a year on some of my brews aging and perfecting, and at this point, who knows if its even going ahead?
