2018 NSW State Comp

[shacked]

I'm just following this thread as I'd like to enter some beers!

 

[Fatgodzilla]

What does this event entail? I am not interested in submitting anything. I just want to try different brews and learn the art of the trade. I'm only new to brewing.

Get yourself down to the event .. Gosford is not far from Newcastle, help the organisers by being a steward, open your ears, taste a few brews. Talk to brewers. A day at the champs will teach you far more weeks of reading threads.

Hi guys,
There is a reply form on the Comp website for Judges and Stewards to register their interest.

What does being a steward involve?

 

[Barry]

I can’t find the link to register my interest to judge, can you point it out me please.

What does being a steward involve?

Hi Thomas

Stewarding generally involves getting the beers ready to serve, taking the beers to judges as needed and some general roustabout type work to keep things flowing on the day.
It also tends to involve sampling a wide variety of beers throughout the day.
It is kinda serious but also generally a fun day.

Cheers
Adam

Hi Barry

There seems to be a slight hiccup with registering as a judge or steward.
This should be sorted today or tomorrow.
I'll post here again once it is sorted out.

Cheers
Adam

Was going to echo Barry, will look later.

I've just checked my calendar and I have my footy preso on that weekend. Absolutely gutted because I was keen to Steward and learn some stuff . Fingers crossed for next time.

I'm not sure i'm seasoned after entering only two comps, but my beer must have been ok as I won the lager category in both. I bottle from a keg with either of the following.

To plastic (PET) beer bottles: https://www.kegland.com.au/carbonation-line-cleaning-cap.html
To glass bottles: https://www.kegland.com.au/counter-pressure-bottle-filler-kit.html

Generally I find it easier to post plastic bottles. If dropping off in person, whatever is easier/have available. The counter pressure kit is fiddly and really should be mounted on a piece of timber or something.

Cheers, yeah i have the cleaning cap setup already and plently of un-used plastic bottles. could be a goer. so you find you maintain proper carb levels after taking off the cleaner cap and attaching normal plastic bottle cap?
