Hi Moad,

I will send you a pm, but I think it will be very difficult to take anything after the doors close on Friday evening, as final paperwork & other planning etc starts straight away, and this has been tightened even further due to the judging being brought forward 4 hours on the saturday.

[Brew Matt]

I've got quite a few entries this year (not just beer)
I intend on hanging onto my championship prize

Sp0rk,

You are a legend. If you pull it off again, they are likely to make you the Jacaranda King when the festival comes around.

 

[skelly22]

Good to see the show is going to be well supported again this year! I aim to have a couple of entries and see you all there!

I'll be keen to help out Matt. But due to having a baby, travelling Tassie, working full time and farming I have hardly entered my shed. Even got 10kg of honey I wanted to make Mead with but haven't struck a blow yet.

Spoke to John, the owner of Roches Hotel, who are now a sponsor, and he was very interested that entries are coming from Tasmania.

As a local, its very humbling that brewers are sending their beers to what is basically our local Agricultural Show.

Just remember... there is no prize....You just get a Blue Ribbon if you come first,

This kinda doesn't make sense, I'm keen and willing to help out, just wont be entering anything due to being busy.

There! :huh:

 

[Arghonaut]

[Ducatiboy stu]

does spork have to bring back the blue ribbon or is there a freshy?

A fresh ribbon, but the tiara has to be returned.

 

[sp0rk]

Nuh, the tiara is stapled to my head, y'all ain't getting it back

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Looks like this year the Tiara comes attached to Sporks head. Might bet a bit smelly, but at least you get the Tiara

does spork have to bring back the blue ribbon or is there a freshy?

Yes The ribbons are fresh. We have a Ribbon factory out at Trenayr industrial estate. Most ( 90% ) of the workers are 90 yr olds who have been in the ribbon game for at least 85yrs.

 

[Bribie G]

I badly want the tiara to go with my ribbon from 2013 so I can swan around like a prize poodle like Christopher Pyne.

 

[Bribie G]

Naked, in front of nuns.

 

[Brew Matt]

Naked, in front of nuns.

As long as they were Trappist Nuns.

 

[Grainer]

if we enter must it belong necks.. how about 500ml???. it says approx 64oml..otherwise it makes it 4 500ml bottles which is way too much in postage etc...

The 2 Bottle rule thingy is about having 1 Bottle for judging and 1 Bottle for showing...in fact you get to keep the second bottle as it is for display purposes only.

The first bottle is a different matter....as those who attended last year and had to accidentally drink our way thru eleventeen hundred home brews and try and pick a crowd favourite.... h34r:


But in saying that, the Show is a traditional Agricultural Show, with a history of tradition, and rightly so. The idea of a " Stubbie" is not really accepted, as " Longnecks" are the traditional form of vessel for home brew.

You don't spit?
