Get the entry in compmaster and express post before 2 to the brewers den, check postage times to make sure

Sounds like the right place to me.

We'll get hold of it and enter it in on Saturday arvo when we do the rest, the owner of the shop is a club member and will bring it along. just write on the parcel "beerfest entry" and you should be right

Cheers

Well mine is still in the fermenter, but it finished fermenting at the start of the week. Just conditioning it.

I'm sure it's both delicious and safe mate.

Was a slightly tongue in cheek referral to a number of posts all with the same 'quick, better get that **** bottled'' vibe.

It's the vibe of the thing, your honour.

 

[Grainer]

If your referring to mine it was bottled 4 weeks ago.. but found it as a gusher,. hence withdrawing it!

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I'm considering putting in two entries.

One that is primed to self destruct destroying all the competition except for my heavily armoured (and glad wrapped) entry.

MWAH HA HA HA

Hi all a reminder that entries need to be dropped into pickup locations by midday. There is absolutely no leeway on this as comp is next weekend.
Good luck with your entries.
Looking forward to a great weekend. Hope to see a lot of the hb community there over the weekend.
Cheers
Mudd

PS: one less pale to be judged as the keg blew out when cpbf my bottle.

 

[Yob]

Final day for entries.

Good luck to all entrants, may the froth be with us.

indeed good luck to all and thanks to everyone involved!

 

[lobedogg]

Mudd and others,
My printer carked it just as I was printing labels this morning & by the time I got in to Officeworks and then G&G with my two bottles and kids in tow it was 12.30 and they'd already been picked up.Spewing!

Given the extenuating circumstances, is there any possible way of me getting them to you? I can express post or drop somewhere.

Apologies for even asking, I realise you've got a cut-off for a reason,but just thought I'd try my luck as they're bottled and paid for already. Cheers.

don't stress Jesse, i know you guys will be busy enough

 

[dannymars]

threw in 4......

German pils... I think it's good. Nothing super special, but clean, clear and tasty.. (like a pils should be I guess)
Hefe... bit thin, slight sulfur... otherwise good
Barrel aged porter (entered in specialty (wood-aged) category)... this is a cracking drop tbh.
APA... obligatory entry, suspect slight diacetyl (I'm not good at detecting it as I get it confused with malt sometimes)... great hop character (late and dry hopped the absolute bejeezus out of this).

Wanted to enter a Berliner... but I bottled in champagne bottles and they already carbed (to 3.5 vols, not easy to re-bottle). Ah well, next time.

Thought about entering a fruit beer, didn't think it was good enough.

Looking forward to the feedback!

Speciality is one of the biggest cats over 2 flights, is your Porter actual barrel or chips? I've got a RIS in wood aged so looks like we're going head to head in there

I managed a fruit RIS as well.. Tough category

 

[GrumpyPaul]

How many entries?

 

[Yob]

Just shy of 200 from memory mate

I've entered mine, after an evening at carwyn cellars drinking real good beers, then coming home to open mine I'm not convinced I'll do well. I've only entered one other comp in WA before and am curious hop the samples are poured? My beers are bottle conditioned/carbed and the second pour is always heaps cloudy from the stirred up yeast. Ideally I would imagine it's beast to give one steady continuous pour into a jug of some type then divide the jug amongst judges. I understand this is really not practical for a comp with such high numbers.

 

[Yob]

this is exactly how the stewards are instructed to pour, one careful pour into a jug and then this is poured from the jug to the judges.

We do take a LOT of care in this arena mate, I personally assure you of it and will be responsible for ensuring the greatest care is given to all entrants beers.

That was me!


I hope!

Awesome [emoji106] that's reassuring. Appreciate it.

Actual barrel

(I scored a bunch of 15ltr barrels from the local boat sheds).... Unused (they were serving wine from bladders inside)...

Hey mate, the entries were misplaced in the shop. As they were there in time we should be able to get them into the comp OK.
They better taste good.
Cheers Mudd

 

[Yob]

does that do anything to the current running sheets that Ive dutifully printed off yesterday?

thanks very much!
i did ring Peter at the shop on Monday and he explained which was fine.
after all that i guess it would be reasonable to say both beers will probably now, in spectacular fashion, bomb...hahaha
