Babbs Mini Comps - Who's Going To Compete?

[DKS]

Onto my thurd tallie of ESB just to judge if suitable for Babbs Feb minicomp. Not quite carbed enough after 8 days. Not to sure how it relates to specs and guidelines,as not a usuall ESB drinker but it thure pacths a punth. :icon_drool2: I think Ill go with my Aussie sparkling for Feb comp at this stage.

O.k does it break protocol for a pisspoor brewer, who happens to be out of town (on comp night) to earn barely a penny to be able to feed his starving family, to pass on an entry for the feb comp for entry even though I will not be present. Was thinking I could bring my entry on Sat 20 at the B Buy split and I could get the el presidentah to deliver my Shite entry.

Please

Brad

Brad,
I do remember this has been discussed briefly in the past but I will raise it at the committee meeting tomorrow to get clarification.

I think we have allowed it but it could be that the question hasn't come up to often.
Worth having it answered anyway.

Edit: Just don't let el presidente sample the beer first, or he might decide it's better than his and "accidentally" give it away as a sample

Would be just like the last ESB I had the guys at the shop sample.........gotta love butterscotch........... Isnt that what ESB means Extra Special Butterscotch?

Would be good to get official clarification though Ben.

Cheers

AH ha, you have been studying at the feet of the All-Ranga master, haven't you grasshopper? Hope you can enter it Brad as I was keen to try it (maybe a bottle swap if its a no go?).

I'm wondering whether my SMASH Challenger Pale Ale will be ready in time for the next club meeting. It went down to the fermenting fridge tongith, so there's a chance it'll be ready, a slim chance

Yup I'd like this clarified as well: last year I brewed two Aussie Sparklings for the Mash Paddle Mini-comp but couldn't get to the meeting and my entries were refused - "have to be handed in personally at the meeting". There has also been interest - I believe - from AHB members in outlying areas such as the Sunny Coast who would like to join BABBs from the point of view of participating in the competition circuit as well - with the rich prizes offered by such a successful club - :icon_cheers: but not always able get down for meetings. So with the comp temperature rising this year to dizzying heights it would be good to get rulings so members know where they stand re brewing schedules etc.

Edit: yes brain cells have woken up. I did actually go to the meeting but couldn't bring the Mash Paddle beers down to the meeting in time as they were still in cold conditioning, due to short notice about the re-brew (results had been lost if you remember) and I arranged with MT to have them couriered up to the brewery, and BABBs said nope as it would open a can of worms... PaulH pm'd me on that score IIRC. So seeing as the BABBs minicomps and Mash Paddle have become somewhat enmeshed maybe a set of firm guidelines would be the go. Not quite the same situation as Brad but would welcome firm rules as I'm almost on the Sunny coast myself with travel issues

Cheers
Michael

There has never been an issue with entries from people not able to make the night that I'm aware of. You are welcome to get them brought in by attending members.

Entering a beer after a competition has closed though, is a different matter.

Cheers Ross

 

[Bribie G]

Thanks Ross, cleared up.

Apart from the Mash Paddle that's not been an issue for me, hopefully will bring new blood into the minicomps, Annual, State and Nats as well :icon_cheers:

Just a quick question(s) on the mini comps. Is it just the single bottle? And do we use the labels, ah la last years comp guide?

One bottle for judging, a bottle of another batch for comments if you wish. You get a numbered label on the night that has a hole in it, along the lines of a hotel 'do not disturb' sign, that gets hung round the bottle neck initially, then a sheet is made out for each bottle as it's poured and taken out to the tables.

perry,

You can enter 2 for feedback but only one counts towards the comp. You must select which bottle counts at time of entry.
No need for any labels, they are labelled on the night. If already labelled, that is no problem either.

Feel free to label your beer if you like, makes it easier to work out who's beer we need to shake the shit out of before pouring :icon_cheers:
