Hi All
Fraser Coast Bayside Brewers Inc. are pleased to announce dates for the 2017 Fraser Coast Home Brew Competition
Sunday 30th April 2017 will be Competition Day.
Since the 29, 30 and 1st is a long weekend, we've brought the comp forward to accommodate those who wish to use it as a prelude to the state comp with ample time to re-brew etc.
Few changes from last & previous years due to the size of the comp these days:
We'll be looking for at least 5 Stewards & a Chief Steward to oversee.
The 2016 comp had 113 entries from QLD, NSW, Vic, Tas and the NT.
This year based on feedback, we're expecting somewhere up closer the 200 mark.
On the unofficial side, the event after the event is usually a pretty big affair. Last year we had about 70 odd attend for dinner and some 25 or so extra bodies for breakfast. We're expecting quite a lot of brewers from all over to make the pilgrimage as usual, so for those who arrive on the Saturday, there'll be plenty of food and something to cleanse the palate.
There's no rush for those travelling home as usual and we'll run the normal big breakfast on Monday morning.
If anyone is keen to lock themselves in for judging or stewarding, the pay is crap, but the beer is good and the company is better. We'll get a judging/stewarding nomination form up when the registrations go live.
We'll update regularly over the coming months.

Few changes from last & previous years due to the size of the comp these days:
- Registered the comp as a sanctioned BJCP event http://www.bjcp.org/apps/comp_schedule/competition_schedule.php so those up and coming judges / stewards / helpers can gain points towards quals.
- Moving to an online pre-registration which Mark Mc is currently working on and should be up and running by Christmas. This will give us about 2 hrs more judging time on the day.
- Moving to an on site data entry so results will be available pretty much immediately and certificates will be printed as soon as scores are checked on the day.
- Run a mini panel comprised of a few special people from within the craft & HB sectors to add value to the event similar to this years one, but slightly extended.
- Entirely BJCP styles - open to all styles within the latest version of the BJCP Style Guidelines
- Entry will be $2.00 per brewer and $5.00 per entry - all proceeds will go to Fraser Coast Bayside Brewers Inc.
