Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

[2much2spend]

How did I get ranked hire than my vicbrew comrades?

 

[Black n Tan]

I was completely blown away to get a first for my Munich Helles and so so close with a fourth for my Maibock . Still pinching myself. My Berliner Weisse was a wild card so happy with a sixth. It was a great conference and competition and many thanks to the Canberra Brewers for stunning few days. A lot of work goes into running something like that and it shouldn't go unrecognised. :beerbang:

Congrats to my little club, The Ipswich Brewers Union. Less than 20 members and scoring 3 firsts and 3 fourths, well done you guys.

cheers

Yes well done all the place getters! In many categories it was very close, so it wasn't easy for the judges.

Can anyone remember what the score ranges were for Gold, silver and bronze medals? I seem to remember someone saying they were different from some of the state medal scores...

Cheers - Snow.

 

[Lawfo]

Medals were for point rangers of:

90+ Bronze
105+ Silver
120+ Gold

[GrumpyPaul]

Medals were for point rangers of:

90+ Bronze
105+ Silver
120+ Gold

Is this true - or is it just first, second and third place getters that were recognised?

Does this mean my 111 score = a silver medal?

Spiesy does that make Cocko your Cocunt?

 

[Droopy Brew]

That sounds like 2/3s of a menage au toi menag au twa threesome.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

[Droopy Brew]

Thanks Grumoy I was never any good at this splink caper. That will do.

I don't think so. Only place getters got medals.

I should have clarified, the above is the point range for where you score sits.

The actual, physical medals are only provided to the top 3 place getters of each category.

 

[Kodos]

I don't think so. Only place getters got medals.

This is correct. Actual medals go only to first, second and third place-getters. The points breakdown is more of a reflection of standards to help the judges award points etc.

The top three IPAs were all of gold medal standard, for example, but I don't believe the judges gave a "gold" score to any of the bitter ales.

It's not a universal thing, and I believe states vary a bit on how they award such ratings. My impression is it just helps keep the judges within a certain range across the comp.

 

[spog]

did you say "manage a ****"?

Manipulation sir,it's all about manipulation .

 

[CmdrRyekr]

We've collated the 339x3 judging sheets and typed in all the addresses, just need to fill the envelopes and get them into the post. (And catch up on our day jobs). Hopefully will be in the post next week.

Lawfo.

I am assuming you're one of the comp "officials" - can you confirm your earlier post about medals for gold, silver, bronze based on point ranges, or is it just first second and third as someone posted later?

I'm not an AABC official (yes lawfo is) but what Kodos said earlier was true, AABC medals are awarded for first, second and third. In one category these three placegetters could all be 'gold range' beers, another category they could all be 'bronze range'.

So winners should just quote what makes them sound more successful to family and friends - I got a gold medal beer at nationals (cough I came fifth cough) - or - I came first at the nationals (cough with a bronze medal beer cough)

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I like your thinking MrNoTip.

I am a national sliver medal award winning brewer (cough) I came 6th (cough)

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

Got my feedback today, while not as good as I would have liked, there's lots of detailed feedback on how to fix things and get it up to scratch. Cheers for the quick turnaround!

 

[waggastew]

Mine arrived in the mid-north coast back blocks of NSW today complete with a pretty silver medal. Kids wanted to use it for dress up.....
