Second ive been given the garage as free reign for brewing use.
Third I'm getting hooked up with ANHC tickets for my birthday.

My Mrs wants to head down to Melbourne that week fortunately. I've been brewing for a few years and am pretty happy with my beers. Not part of a club too. Any recommendations for what kind of package might suit me? What would I miss in the main conference sessions?

What's club night on Saturday night? For club members only or is it open to everyone?

$40 Hey? FULLY catered? So they're putting on the beer instead of the clubs?

Bwahahaha

The club night is a definite goer, an actual party

 

[jayahhdee]

I'm hoping to get the all clear from SWMBO to attend both conference sessions, even that is going to be a push considering its her b'day on the Friday.

Spit-roast and stuff so I hear ... they must be paying attention to what is planned for the case-swap.

Its a showcase for homebrew clubs both local and those who care to make the trip to Melbourne. Plus of course, a bit of a party

Each club sets up a stall/area for themselves, dresses up silly, bungs on a bunch of beers that they're proud enough of that they want to show them off. You take your glass and wander from club to club trying their wares and meeting the members.... nature takes its course and people end up doing many amusing things.

This year we're charging a bit of cash, but also whacking on some food, and we're opening it up to more people who dont necessarily have to be from a club themselves - that way new and prospective brewers get to meet the various clubs and visa versa, plus be exposed to a really wide variety of top class homebrew.

It are a top night indeed.. come along and watch my club make all the others look like a pack of cub-scouts with a lemonade stand (again)

(Note: the evening also provides a chance to engage in a little friendly interclub rivalry)

 

[Rob S]

Sounds brilliant

Its a killer program this year - the theme this year is triple strength, and I reckon the program we have lined up is triple strength indeed.

Which pakage is best for you? Well, i think going all out is the best idea. If you are a beginner or perhaps a kit/extract brewer looking to ramp up, or even a brewer who's been into it for a few years but hasn't pushed any boundaries, then maybe the begginers packages are for you - otherwise if you want to hear about brewing at its very best and all it can be, from absolute masters of the art, then go the full conference package. In either case I'd be taking up the dinner and club night options, both are just top nights and not to be missed.

Keep an eye on the website - more details of the program and more presenters will be being put up over the next little while. It only gets better.
