Bit confused

Which bit are you confused about ?

 

[geoffd]

Well done Banana Benders...now banana mashers.

I guess all the suspense is gone out of the Gala Awards Dinner, might as well just post the full results now & forget the presentation.

If it were referred to in the thread as Champion Brewer and Beer of Show it would be clearer. Got a bit confused myself before I worked it out last night. Congratulations to both.

Hey, while I'm still half awake, congratulations to Mark Davies from the Northern Territory, who picked up the coveted Braumeister 20L system from the "stainless Ticket" draw... Mark was one of the first people to buy his ticket to the conference, so it just goes to show the early bird DOES get the worm...

Cheers!

Safe drive home mate.

That beer was a cracker! Care to let us in on the recipe when you get home?

Thanks to all that organised.

My head hurts! But well worth it.
Great night to all involved.
Just wish i didn't drop my dacks and flash my blue undies on stage...

The sours made me do it.
Well done Barls



@Wolfman...consider yourself reminded, and have a cracker in Nimben.

From a first time attendee, it was an awesome experience.

Didn't have the opportunity to attend the Gala or Club night due to non beer related stuff but I found the actual conference to be extremely valuable and I've walked away with a lot of ides about where to go with my brewing.

I will provide more detailed feedback to ANHC via but I think a feedback form should have been included in the conference packs because as great as it was I am sure there is still ways to grow and improve it.

More than anything it has really shown me that I need to get involved in a club so I can be in a situation to discuss these these things on a regular basis (online doesn't always cut it).
