TICKETS NOW ON SALE
The Queensland Homebrewing Conference has made two big announcements this week, with tickets going on sale and a major speaker announced.
The speaker, Chris White, President of Whitelabs Yeasts, has agreed to cross the pond and present about yeast. Chris has spoken a number of times in Australia and has always been very well received. Chris has worked with yeasts his entire life, with a PhD in biochemistry and he is a member of the Seibel Institute teaching faculty.
Chris started Whitelabs in 1995 and has seen it grow into one of the major liquid yeast suppliers in the brewing world. With a range of hundreds of pitchable, pure strain yeasts covering beer, wine and distilling, Whitelabs is a major force in the home brewing industry worldwide.
Chris is also the author of the authoritative book on yeast in brewing, Yeast: The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation.
Other presenters include Brad Rogers (Stone & Wood), Jaron Mitchell (4 Pines Brewery) and a host of other product specialists from Bintani Malts, Hop Products Australia and a bunch of great local home brewers. Kevin Longhurst (QldKev) will be presenting on growing your own hops, and Andrew Clark, Champion Qld Brewer (2008,09) will be talking on the new Beersmith 2 software (with some giveaways, as well)
We also have the results of a 4-way Mash Systems war, being run by BABBS. The final beers will get judged at the Conference and results announced AFTER the participants present their session.
The conference will be held in Brisbane on Nov 5 2011 at the Southbank Institute of Technology.

And make sure it's announced at the next couple of BABBs meetings. I'll also bring it up at PUBS in a couple of weeks.
Verily shalt thy prayers be answered by Chris White.

Hi all. an update on beer for the Conference Dinner. Press release and posting on www.theqhc.com.au will go up tomorrow.
Pro-Am Collaborative Beer Brewed for Conference Dinner
Aine O'Hora, a lovely Irish brewer from Matilda Bay Brewing Company made a flying visit to Brisbane recently to whip up a quick batch of beer for the Conference dinner. Aine chose the style made with all pilsner malt brew to create a DMS brew, just like you would get in Europe, like she grew up on in Ireland. The beer was all made with pilsner malt and traditional Saaz hops to be a true expression of the style that Aine grew up enjoying.
The beer was brewed at Bacchus Brewery with the assistance of David Clarke (fellow organiser of the Conference and BABBS Deputy Brewmaster) and Sim Bonetti (Manager Brewers Choice Enoggera). The beer is now maturing in the cool room at Bacchus and should have matured beautifully for the dinner. Aine's beer will be the accompaniment for our Entree of Scallops and Rocket a beautiful combination.

With the addition of the Cheese Course, the Beer and Food Matching Dinner will now expand to (at least) four courses and five beers a fantastic culinary exploration of the finer qualities of craft brewed beers and the excellent food they can be matched with.

I am looking forward to the dinner also, but am allergic to scallops. Hopefully they will find our group something else to match the beer. I am new to the AHB Forum, but not to home brewing in general. The info will hopefully help to get my brewing up to scratch for next year's round of competitions.

Time to get your calenders & tickets sorted for this one-day conference and dinner.
The conference is a month away.
FYI - the beer and food matching dinner are being run as separate events.
You can book for both or only attend one event that you are specifically interested in.
Check out the Official QLD Homebrewing Conference web page for details of program, including the open to anyone "pre" and "post" conference get-togethers.
Cheers, :icon_cheers:
