Chris, a little off topic in the BABBS thread, so please start a new one if you want more answers.

Simply.... If you are selling your homebrew it's illeagal. If you are not selling it then it's legal & you have nothing to worry about.
No amount of brew legislation is going to make an iota of difference if your neighbour believes you are selling it.

Cheers Ross

Is there a link to the BABB beer classes style guidelines somewhere? Or just the relevant sections for the January Pale and Bitter MiniComp would be super. (Not a member yet!)

Members log-in and you will find the styles and guidelines in the Download section.

Is it just me or at BABBs should we be wearing a second set of name badges with our AHB handles on?

So would someone be able to tell me what actually happens at a BABBS meeting?
I understand that there is brewing competitions but not sure what else.

Beer nerds sit around talking beer, sharing beer, looking at beer, smelling their forearm then beer and most of all learn heaps about brewing techniques and different beer styles.

oh yeah and laugh and talk shit. And take the piss out of each other.

ok so a lot of that sounds like fun (except the forearm part lol) but would it be the right place for a newbie kit brewer, female, who is also a 2 pot screamer with a chinese bladder? :lol:

Definately like i said earlier they let winkle join h34r: :lol:

Seriously its a great club for new brewers and experience brewers to learn and share.

There's a great spread of ages from 20s to 70s and maybe beyond, we have had a number of female members and associates and more would be welcome. If you are driving it's a good night to appreciate a range of beers in "nip" size doses without getting drunk so ideal for 2 pot screamers. After the initial short formal club thing (minutes of meeting, treasurer's report etc) The mini-comps take the form of splitting into six or more tables and the jugs and forms are brought out, and judging and discussion commences, with plates of nibbles to clear the palate. Great way of learning about styles. There are often interesting prizes for the first three or four winners, I once won a laser thermometer and a pack of Punk IPA :icon_drool2: The forearm thing is helpful to neutralise your "nose" - to recalibrate it - just sniff your own forearm and it magically clears it ready to sniff the beer again to judge aroma.
There's also a raffle.

Like any club it takes a few meetings to get really comfortable walking in, unless you are a screaming party type - but it's great once you get into the swing.
