:super:

Chappo only claims to hate BIAB, he was plied with the stuff a couple of months ago and I think his problem is that he woke up the next morning feeling dirty and used



:lol: :lol: :lol:

Just got a silver medal in the SOBA NHC for my Bourbon Porter which was my 3rd AG and brewed with BIAB and No-Chill B)

Well done RevKnut! Kudos to ya and yes it was a good drop as BribieG said!

:super:

up yours Chap Chap

:lol:

I can understand your feelings of inferiority. You BIABers are such a touchy crowd must stem from stewing your grains.... h34r:

No only the unmodified Crown owners stew their grains, we Birko owners do them at a good rolling boil before sparging in the bucket. B)

This is very timely, I have been very interested in this topic,

In the up coming Nationals to be held in Canberra, on the entry form it will have a box to indicate if it is a conventional beer, brew in a bag or no chill for those who would like to indicate how they brew there beer. This will not be compulsory but interesting non the less. I know that not all brewers are into competitions, and it may not be a true reflection on the overall brewing style but I believe it will be great to see how the different styles stack up against each other.

This is just for information, nothing to do with the Nationals categories, brewers DO not need to indicate if they so wish.

Not a competition guy Stagger though I'll help out at the Nats 2009.

I'll bring you in my BIAB Amarillo Ale next meet as Im now working on balancing the fruitiness to cleanliness of ferment and bitterness to malt. First of the balancing attempts done.

Too early to bring in my BIAB hefe as I've been building bee hived so its sat in the fermemter on the counter all this time waiting bottling so next meeting following this upcomming one for that. Clean as the beer from Germany I cultured it from. Next hefe I will punch the temps to bring out the fruity banana some members seem to enjoy lots of.

Cheers,
Brewer Pete

Stagger, I take it that such information would be disclosed after the judging, not before? This would certainly be a useful exercise. As I posted on another thread a few weeks ago, BIAB brews have not featured a lot in comp wins for the main reason that we are mostly novice / recent recruits to AG and are not at the same level of knowledge and experience of brewers who have been in the game for several years. They, by default, are 3 vessel brewers with a couple of notable stand outs
However with a cohort of BIABers who have been coming up through the ranks over the last couple of years it will be interesting to see how the comp results stack up over the next few years.

Same goes for no chill as well.

 

[Stagger]

Absolutely, no information will EVER be disclosed before a comp, in fact only one person (the comp sec) will be privy to the entre forms. I believe this would be very useful information for everyone, consideration our national climate. If the non traditional brewing techniques stack up against the more traditional brewing process in the national comp, it might raise a few eyebrows.

This is, in no way compulsory, but considering we will have the best of the best from each state (that choose to entre comps) might be a worthwhile exercise.

Bump:

Just announcing some BIAB Results for the Queensland Comp held over the weekend. Of course this is just the ones I know about as I brewed them and a lot of the entrants I don't recognise their human names so can't speak for BIABers amongst them but, if BIABBing please pipe up: :icon_cheers:



Not all these appeared in the overall placings as they were pipped by higher scoring beers of course but I was pleased to see my SuperLandlord did so well, thanks to the Good Doc for his tireless work on TTL which has really inspired me. However the beer that really warms the cockles of my BIAB heart is the 'ordinary' bitter that picked up a bronze, it's a modern British Summer Ale, midstrength and refreshing, and based on what I remember Boddingtons to be in the past.



It is, to my way of thinking, a vindication of BIAB as being able to produce a light clean beer - in the face of some recent critisism that BIAB is only good for dark ales and stouts.

Brilliant comp, was running like clockwork when I was in there yesterday, and incredible job being done by all, together with a couple of Canberra judges.. Thanks for making the trip, and watch out for us Baggies in the Nats :icon_drunk: :icon_drunk:

What ! ONLY a silver !!!

Imagine how well you would have gone if you had NOT used BIAB and No-Chill - Gold at the very least !

Nah I'm right here, and enjoyed judging the QLD beers.

Scruffy, are you suggesting I sell my 3 tiered system and go BIAB? Your dreamin'.

I have tried many many good traditionaly brewed beers, and until I get to sample good BIAB ones (like Bribie's obviously are), then I am happy with mashing the 'old fashioned way'.

As I have said all along, if the beer is good I'll drink it. Plenty of crap traditionally mashed beers out there as well.

Anyway Reviled, let's see how the cookie crumbles come nationals time eh bro?

God No mate! you stick to yer old boiler...

Apart from the odd ribbing, we're all on the same page...

:icon_cheers:

As for my BIAB efforts - I made it to the 'complete results' list (... ), so some refinement required I guess...

In case you havnt noticed, i live over in NZ, so wont be entering the aussie nats, however I have recently just got my results for the NZ nationals, and I got me a silver medal :icon_cheers: I wont be entering the Aussie nats, but would love to!

I also know of one BIAB'er who has allready qualified for the Aussie nats, so im gonna stick my neck out there and say that any BIAB'er has just as much chance to clean up over a traditional brewer

Convert the 3 tier system to a BIAB one Maxt, you know you want to

 

[Bribie G]

Max, were you at the Platform Bar Saturday? I was there for an hour, probably filled your water glass on my rounds and didn't know you were there! Bugger. I didn't know we had Canberrians until that evening when Ross mentioned it in a post. Sorry we didn't get to meet up

Cheers
Michael :icon_cheers:

Care to share you OB recipe? I have had one terrible failure and one that I may be able to drink, though I am not sure I want to (long story on the second one).

Include any water tweaks you do as I think we have very similar water.

Thanks
