Castle Hill Home brew Competition 2013

[Fatgodzilla]

there wil be one flight morning and afternoon with a lunch break between. this will be the format both days.

on what barry said, ill be one of the people unpacking and i have small tolerance and will use a knife without hesitation if theres too much tape on them. just a point to remember.

never trust an old sea salt with a knife in his hand .........

 

[barls]

damn right. you allowed to come up and judge fatz. i believe they have you penciled in for the specialty category and meads

 

[koots]

i heard ian was pencilled in for fruit beers!

 

[barls]

those too. forgot them

 

[Barry]

Yes mmmmmbeer black IPA's are in specialty.

 

[Barry]

Are the results in yet?

 

[barls]

Just a quick question, have all posted entries been picked up? Just that my tracking number says mine's been at Baulkham Hills PO since last Thursday. Not having a go at anyone, just want to make sure it got there ok.

 

[barls]

ill check with stu later today but im sure they have.

 

[mosto]

Cheers Barls. If they have, hopefully AusPost just didn't scan it out, so it would still show as uncollected. Should stick out like dogs balls. It's in one of those double bottle wine gift boxes that is in a brightly coloured Xmas theme. I pinched it from work, we use them to send wine as presents to customers at Xmas time.

 

[Barry]

I will be there at 2.

 

[barls]

see you there barry.
mosto ill ask as i didnt unpack the first half.

 

[mosto]

Cheers Barls, appreciate that.

Mine have been sitting there since Tuesday 13th... I'm assuming there will be a few more there than just mine and Mosto's - I'm hoping that someone will collect them all today???

Cheers,
Greg

Either that or, if a heap were picked up at once, I could imagine that the clerk at the PO may not have bothered scanning them, so they would still be marked as awaiting collection.

Let's hope so - fingers crossed.

guys can i get some full names to get stu to check the list to see if they have been entered. happy for you to pm me or stu if you sont want to post up on here.
also did you both do the online entry?
we ended up with around 600 entries so its hard to remember a single box.

 

[mosto]

Graeme Mostyn is my name Barls. Stu also pm'd me, so I've replied to that as well. Thanks for checking this guys.

I don't have any entries in this but live nearby - is there anything to 'see' at the competition? / What is it like there?

If you turn up I'm sure they'll be happy for any help.

 

[barls]

plenty to see there.

 

[HalfWit]

I popped into the show ground today for a stickybeak. Everyone was very focused and doing a great job, Stu and the other organizers deserve a big pat on the back. The 15 minutes spent on each beer is above and beyond.

 

[barls]

saw you drop in.
all done and dusted. congrats to all the winners. the beers were above the standard of last year.
stu will get the results up once he works his way through the massive pile of paperwork he has.

 

[lael]

What time and where was it? Dropped by late in the afternoon but didn't see the event on

 

[Stuster]

So results are out and here they are. As far as we can find out, this is the biggest amateur brewing competition held in Australia with 556 entries. (though I'd be interested if there were others that were bigger.)

Well done particularly to Barry Cranston and Michael Wallace for stellar performances once again.

Sheets will follow soon, but I'll need to have a little lie down now.

i got home around 6.30 i think we finished around 4.30

 

[PacNorWest]

sorry for maybe an obvious question, but I got an HC, what does this stand for?

Also, the total scores do not seem to be the ranking criteria... how to the scores correlate with ranks?

 

[fletcher]

i'm going to guess it means something like 'highly commendable' or something similar?

 

[PacNorWest]

sounds legit! I wasn't gunning for anything so that is pretty fun to know other people like my beer almost as much as I do.
