Hey haysie , I have been camped at the Marong caravan and cabin park for the last few months and have no hesitations suggesting an ensuite cabin may suit your needs.
About 12 k's out of town keeps you out of the rat race and away from those annoying rellies :icon_chickcheers: nice , friendly park too!
Call in (fifth wheeler down the back) and I'll shout you a brew , 4 kegs on tap, no waiting :icon_cheers:
Hi Guys,
Justin McPhail here - thought i'd see if there was any interest happening on the internet regarding the event - good to see there is!
So far we have had 19 entries, a fairly diverse range with some surprising 'mad' brews! Just what I was hoping for!
If you guys are on facebook - check out the Facebook Group 'Better Beer for Bendigo'
Will stop the shameless self promotion now
Cheers,
Justin
ditto notung..
Has anyone seen an entry form yet?
I think I may have had a mild brett (or similar) infection in my starter that I just pitched into the Rye IPA I brewed for this competition. After pitching I smelled the starter and while it doesn't smell terrible, there's definitely something off there.
I used the same stock of 1272 from my fridge as my last IPA that also had a mild infection, which I put down to using an old hop sock to filter the beer when pouring from the cube (It was the first time I had done so and I thought boiling this would sanitise this sufficiently but after reading the yeast book, realised this is not sufficient). I now think the infection may be in the stubbies of 1272 I have in the fridge. The shame about it is that I thought it was time to refresh my 1272 with a new smack pack but G&G had sold out so I kept using my current stock.
I'll just have to wait and see...
RDWHAH...

Thanks for the feedback guys!
To clarify a few things:
There will be another competition in about 2-3 months time, we are in the process of organising a bigger venue (due to the amount of people who turned up).
There are more 'beer related' events in the pipeline for Bendigo. The aim is to have some satellite events in conjunction with Good Beer Week next year - I believe Bendigo is up to the challenge!
Zac will be brewing some more beers for the next event, stay tuned - he's quite a talent!
Sorry I don't get on here enough, juggling work, uni and beer (although beer is the genuine priority!). As Beer66 posted (thanks!), there's a link to a newsletter (http://t.co/a3I0tgY) we are planning on making a regular thing, so if you want to get in touch, feel free to join
Thanks again!
Justin
