Looking forward to it.
Hmmm, I've been meaning to brew a English IPA for some time now - might have to get on with it.

Got a couple of bottles of Citra Blonde Ale I was planning on entering. Maybe an Aussie Pale Ale too.... How many beers can we enter into comps? (sorry, been a long bloody time since I've entered.....)

Cheers

Hey guys,

Been brewing for a while jsut doing the K&K, but nailing that on all fronts, but looking to get a bit more indepth with the whole thing.

Whats needed to join BABBs? Very keen on finding some like minded people, cos my missus just doesnt share the passion haha

Cheers,
Evil.

Good to hear Nick,
One to be scored and counted, one marked for evaluation / feedback only. Nominated prior to entry which is which of course.

[NickB]

Awesome, thanks Daz. Just to clarify, that's two per comp, not per category...?

eviljesus - Just rock up on the night and talk to the treasurer (not sure who now, sorry!) about becoming a member.

Cheers

Two per minicomp . And remember to register one for placement judging in the comp itself. At the Belgians night, Argon very timidly and apologetically entered a Belgian for comments only and if he'd put it in for comp it would have won, got something like 43 iirc.

oops edit: Nick if you have been to a meeting already and have been sighted and deemed not a total derro or a crim then you can apply for membership but need to get onto the sec straight away and pay fees otherwise only registered members can enter - I thought you were already a member
Otherwise you still have a couple of weeks to extracto digitum pronto amigo

:icon_cheers:

Thanks Biribie.

I am already a member, have been for a couple of years. Was responding to eviljesus' post about membership.

Will be entering my Citra Blonde for judging, and most likely my Aussie Pale Ale for comments only.

Looking forward to being an active BABBs member once again!

Cheers

Nick

 

[Bribie G]

That's what I thought. I hadn't read the thread properly and thought "eviljesus" was a cursing word used out in Nanango - like when your banjo bass string snaps - apologies to Eviljesus himself

 

[globe]

How do i become a member?
:super:

 

[NickB]

See above GB - basically rock up and speak to the treasurer on the night.

Cheers

 

[globe]

Awesome looking forward to it.

 

[Bribie G]

Racking my minicomp beer into cold-crash tomorrow :icon_chickcheers:

That's me out then

 

[geoff_tewierik]

Only an IPA in the fermenter for me at the moment, not sure whether Target and Styrian Goldings would suit the style for an English IPA.

And waiting on a new mash tun, so will be a bit before I brew again, can't wait for it

 

[Bribie G]

Winkle, probably not, in last years ales minicomp my TF Golden Promise + Challenger + Styrians + Ringwood yeast "lacked the hallmarks of an English bitter" :wacko:
Maybe I should have hopped it to 100 IBU with Chinook or something

 

[eviljesus]

Cheers for the info boys. Hope to see you guys there!

Apologies accepted bribie!

 

[NickB]

Be great to see you EvilJesus - make yourself known and we'll buy you a beer
