Good point, a very immature reply from me considering the humanity and sacrifice you demonstrate by judging the beer

I shall chasten myself and make amends by multiple batch tasting of my own product, and even to the extent of (edited, its just like the facebook thing - someday, someone will read it)

Just mashed in my entry! Hope I can get it ready in time, my fermenting freezer died too so no temp control. Doing a double batch of apa, different hops and yeast for each cube.

Judging commences at 3pm on Saturday 25th April 2015 and all exhibitors are welcome to attend, with a sausage sizzle also being held. This is not a BYO event. Persons over the age of 18 will only be permitted at the judging.

 

[Bribie G]

The reason the event became BYO last year was because of the later start, when many attending members felt the urgent need for some timely and fortifying refreshment.

The earlier time is an excellent move, congrats, and provides scope for some post-event conviviality as well. :beerbang:

Sizzle was brilliant last year as well, looking forward to it :super:

I'm actually working that weekend so I can't hang around too long if I can even get there but at the judging, for those present, will we have any idea of of how we went or will it be a week or two after that?

Good to see you making the trip up again Bribie.

Yes, the aim will be to get the judging completed before dawn this year! Hopefully finished in the early evening so that everyone can relax, have a chat, and say hi to those making the trip up.

Will be great to finally put faces to names, hope you can make it.

Thanks Matt.

I caught up with Stu last year & it will be good to put some faces to names.
I'll do my best to get there but I'll have to be heading back home no later than 6pm unfortunately.
Do we just rock up to the Pavilion?
