Biab & No Chill Comp Results

[Paul H]

GUys,
With 2 comps (NSW & WA) now completed I was wondering how the biab & no chillers held up against the more traditional brewers?

Cheers

I have a feeling they went extremely well.
Of course this is just a hunch. :lol:

I got two first places and two second places in the NSW comp. All beers were no chilled in cubes.

The Robust porter that came first actually spent 5 months in a cube

well done.
did it spend 5 months in a cube as wort? or cold conditioning?

Cool. How about any no chilled lagers?

Any BIAB reports?

My Vienna lager came a distant 2nd to Doc's Schwartzbier in the NSW comp.

My "Black Iron Prison" Belgian Ale that won its class was no chilled, in the kettle for 2 days

I saw some strong lagers get caned at the SA state show on the weekend for DMS. I believe they were commercial beer judges with no affiliation to HB shops or kit manufacturers.

Who knows if they were no-chilled!!

cheers

Judging from the above, likely that they weren't. :icon_chickcheers:

TOP EFFORT guys, and not a case of botulism to be seen I think the only thing that remains to be seen is the stability of the beer over a long period.

Nice work, Rob!

WA comp, two firsts, two seconds no chilled, a third place rapid chilled.

 

[Stuster]

WA comp, two firsts, two seconds no chilled, a third place rapid chilled.

Which clearly proves that rapid chilling will wreck your beer.

As were the judges at WASABC (no affiliation).

Have said this one before but on topic here

Brewed English strong ale 3 years ago.

Cubed in a blue Kmart cube with 2 inches of airspace in the cube (left full of air) for a couple of months

brewed and entered in the last 3 NSW state comps.

1st year did well but needed time to smooth out, no placing
2nd year. Won champion beer and got a 1st in catagory in the AABC
3rd year, got 2nd behind Docs IAPA that killed the judges taste buds from anything that tasted like beer

ENteres a few others in the NSW comp that didnt do well but im fairly sure they had faults from yeast and posible infection but i couldnt put my finger on what...... entered for feedback and cant wait for my sheets to return

cheers
