Australian Amateur Brewing Championship 2007

[Fatgodzilla]

Im sorry Ray, I wasnt asking for results just an update.

Ray isn't online and when he does go on line, he will put the winners and placegetters of all catagories on line at the same time. This was a decision endorsed by all judges and stewards still there on the Sunday when the question was asked. I can't and won't speak for Ray but do know that when all the flights have been judged, he will very quickly publish the results. That is the style of the guy. Have patience.

Please find enclosed four really boring photographs I took on the day using my new telephone camera. If you squint real hard, you might recognise if the judges are tasting your beer. Of course they wouldn't know it was your beer because the stewards did a bloody good job making sure the judges didn't see the bottles from which there tasting samples come from.

In Rays absense, last round should be Friday for a release of info thereafter.

The pic on the left looks like the boys wernt alowed to take a toilet break :lol:

Damn Fat....... your starting to sound like the national comp bouncer.

We all understand that there were problems and we all realise that it is going to take time but you cant shoot down people (ordinary joes's) who have their beers entered in the highest level comp in the country for being interested in whats happening.

I can see you standing just out of shot of those pics mate...........

cheers and before i get yelled at in just trying to lighten the mood a bit

PS...... im glad to see the time is being taked to judge it properly and judge it well. Its easy to rush things through and i am impressed with the IBU's diligence to do the job properly........ as every job should be.

Well done folks!

Just how long does it take for 15 Belgians to judge 4 beers?

Re the bottom left picture I prefer studious intent and concentration - Mental arithmetic is challenging after judging several

[Barry]

Where do they get such intelligent, wise looking judges?

 

[Oblomov]

In Rays absense, last round should be Friday for a release of info thereafter.

What time exactly?
(Just in case: that was a joke)

We in the Union are such sensitive guys. Trully deep and meaningfull souls. Peaceful, fun loving people not unlike the hobbits in a Tolkien story. JUST DON'T GET US MAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judging does on .....................

 

[lonte]

well, at the risk of being jumped all over just for posting on this thread ... I notice that there is a message on the IBU's site that says "National results published soon (sorry)" ... If someone online is involved or was there can I deduce from this that judging went well over this weekend and that all the classes are now at least complete??

 

[Tony]

Judges were thin on the ground........... the comp is not being rushed as its a very important comp......... and results will be in some time before xmas and we have to be patient ! Should be early next week some time from the last report just 3 or 4 short posts ago if you read them.

cheers

 

[Stuster]

Shhh. Don't say anything or Fatgodzilla will come and sort us out (again). :lol:

No, I think the results will be out soon as Tony says. Just keep clicking on the IBU site and see if you can get a denial of service going.

Now Stu, I thought we sorted this out on Saturday .............. by the way your Summer Ale was a nice drop. Can you make me a dozen for Xmas please ? The new IBU bouncer will now have to come look for you ..

IBU site on AHB a closed site so assume you talking of the web site. Heard nothing yet so PATIENCE.

Gees Tony, now you are starting to sound like me. I'll drink your Sheepshagger this weekend - while eating lamb chops.
