Top work Guest Lurker :super:

 

[Guest Lurker]

Thanks Asher! You tasted the English mild (start of brew day yesterday) and the Ordinary Bitter (end of brew day yesterday). I didnt bring the APA yesterday cos I wasnt really happy with it. Thanks POL for the prompt post work. Most succesful exhibitor..... You Beauty! Just goes to show a shotgun approach can reap rewards (if you can afford the postage!).

 

[dicko]

Thanks for the results POL,

It was obviously a very successful competition and it is good to see such high scores.
Cheers

Bit dissappointed with my entries. I had them ready about seven weeks before the comp (for entry at Bathurst and the Castle Hill show). I entered them in Coopers PET bottles, and the feedback from the Castle Hill comp was they were lacking carbonation. I dear say by the time they made it to Bathurst, they were under carb'd. Looking forward to the judging sheets to confirm. Lesson learnt (and passed along. Don't use PET bottles for comps).

Congratulations again, and three cheers for the organisers of the Bathurst comp.

Beers,
Doc

Top stuff Simon. :super:

[Darren]

Thanks to the guys who run this show. Top marks!
Well done Simon and Barry must have been close. How many bullets did you'se two each have in your "shotguns"?
cheers
Darren (I entered 3)

 

[Ross]

Congrats GL, well done :beer:

Is your ordinary bitter recipe a secret - or can you share it?

 

[deebee]

The Big Dog Brewery cleans up!!!

Well done the Lurker, you've done us proud. (Did you enter ANY non-placers?)

 

[wee stu]

Well done guys, some excellent results - lang may yir collective lums reek!!!

Lesson learnt (and passed along. Don't use PET bottles for comps).

Unless, of course, it is the mash paddle, true Chiller?

Thanks POL for the prompt post work.

Thank Brian and Gay Noyes for their work, they are the ones that did all the organising including the collating and sorting. The email landed in my inbox, it was in xls format which I don't use. Kai kindly converted it for me, so I could post it on the board.

Congratulations Guest Lurker on your place. We were sitting up the back clapping when your name was read out. And congratulations of course to Barry Cranston and to everyone else in the winner's circle.

The weekend was a great success. We had the opportunity to sample many fine brews. There are certainly a few brews that I tried that I am keen to get the recipe of.

Awards and judging sheets will go out this week.

Events like this do not happen without organisers, sponsors, judges, entrants, stewards, dog washers, pourers, cleaner uppers, etc. Make sure if at all possible, you help at your local show, no matter how big or small it is. Helping out, stewarding, then judging at shows is high on the list of things to help your own brewing. There is nothing like talking beer all day with other people just as passionate as yourself about brewing good beer.

 

[Gough]

Congrats Guest Lurker, a top effort. :super:

Well done to all the others from the list as well. It was my first ever comp so I'm really happy (and surprised :blink: ) to have got a second place. Looking forward to the judging sheets as well. As it is my first time, how long do they usually take to appear? Are they posted out to you?

Thanks in advance, and again, GL, Top Darts!

Shawn.

 

[quincy]

An impressive list.
As a non AGer (hopefully soon ) plenty of inspriration to draw from here

BTW GL not only a good footy tipper but can brew the odd beer as well :beer:
Well done.

Cheers

[Boots]

Jayse
Mate that was your SFPA in the APA class, not only that it wasnt a particularly good version compared to others of your SFPA I've done, (can you say diacetyl? I shook the crap out of the bottle to resuspend the yeast before I sent it off) but its nice to see that get recognised. Also the mild was based on advice from MAH. This forum rocks!

Darren
7 bullets. I figure Barry must have been under that.

Ross
Mate they are all in the public arena.
Goto
My brewing log
look for Brew 109 for the ordinary bitter.

Gough
Its a well organised comp and the sheets get posted out pretty quickly as I recall.

Cheers to POL for encouraging me to enter this year after disappointing results last year.

Simon, grinning despite being at work on a public holiday

 

[Weizguy]

Great to recognise a helluva lot of AHB names on the winner list.

Especially satisfying to see some Novocastrian names, including Gough (whose beer I tasted at the lhbs) and Keith (who is now a F/T employee at the lhbs).

Cheers and big up yourself (as Ali G sez). :super:
