Excuse my noob question but is this stuff open to those from other states, can entries be posted?had a look on the website and forms and couldn't see anything.
Cheers

 

[Barry]

Open to all brewers everywhere. Your entries will be welcomed.

 

[Bribie G]

Page 8 of the pdf gives you the postal address at Peakhurst.

My Aus lager is in the fermenter with an ale to follow in a couple of weeks.

edit: nice mouse piss twang developing already so well pleased.

 

[citizensnips]

Cheers for the replies guys. Should have gotten on it earlier! Still be able to get one entry in though.
Cheers

Mate you've got over a month to go and if CUB can crank out a fine brew such as VB in 21 days I'm sure you can.


Re comp: I see that there is a gap of a week between receipt of entries and judging. Will the bottles be kept at ambient for the week or in cold storage?

Also I see we can enter two per style, does that mean for example: two AusPA, two light Lager, or does it mean two lager but different types of lager?

 

[Barry]

Good Day Bribie

It is a maximum of two entries of the same style e.g. two foreign stouts. You can put two entries of every single style in the comp if you wish. The entries will spend some time in fairly cool temps while being labelled etc. then put into the cold room. The entries will not be subjected to any extreme temps (i.e. over 24oC) at any time.
Still time to brew beers and add some Aussie spice to the last few litres to have a speciality beer entry as well.

 

[Korev]

5 weeks before entries close - still time to brew!!

[Bribie G]

Just to get it straight, say I brew 2 Aussie Light Lagers and then spice up a few bottles of one of the brews with some dogswamp beetlenut bush does that mean I can enter three Light Lagers but one of them goes into the spiced class?
Or am I only allowed a total of two, with one of them spiced and the other "as is" ?

 

[Korev]

HI Bribie

To clarify there are 4 separate groupings for this competition so in the A section you could enter 2 light lagers under Style 1.1 PLUS in the C Special group you could enter 2 Australian spiced light lagers based on Style 1.1 as well if you wanted to.

Hope this helps

Cheers

[Bribie G]

Thanks, I have the dogswamp beetlebush under control, now have to track down some Kunjarri olive-plum

 

[Bribie G]

I'll be bottling 4 entries over the weekend and will mail them once they are carbed up :beer:

 

[Barry]

Still time to brew a quick entry, especially a pale Aussie ale or lager. Add some Aussie spice to a couple of litres of that beer that you are about to bottle.

 

[Barry]

Just a reminder, entries must be at The Brew Shop by 4 pm next Saturday 25th May. Be sure to enter and good luck to all.

Well tomorrow is the big day. Hope you got plenty of support and entries, bit far for me to pop in for the day sadly.

Yes we got through the judging well. We had stouts but no robust porters this time.
