Yes.....I'll put some more details in the Systems Wars thread.......

Meanwhile..this article made the online couriermail.. Didn't get much printed about great beer (I laid it on pretty thick) and the awesome community we are all part of...at least the BABBs club and the conference got a mention

Lucky all the beers hide me...

Great conference to BTW.

Congratulations to David Kitchen from Brewers Choice who was determined to host a homebrewing conference in QLD..:beerbang:

Somebody is up early after a big day.
Yeah cheers to David Kitchen and all the staff at Brewers Choice for helping. The speakers were great to listen too and good to hear the Q & A. Thanks to all the sponsors too.
Enjoy myself immensely and looking forward to going next year. Great info on yeast there from John from White Labs.
Cheers

Cheers Ross

Couldn't agree more Ross. The day had heaps of info for everyone including us new brewers. Beers weren't bad either. Now your mission is to get a few recipes together using Stella and Topaz

Huge congratulations to David Kitchen and his Brewers Choice Staff for a fantastic day. A special mention has to go to Dave Clarke and to all the guest speakers who came from interstate and overseas to be part of the conference.

A top day and evening.

Agreed here, had a great day, was some great info from many of the presenters, I brought a non brewing mate & he enjoyed himself too.

Great stuff Dave Kitchen for organising & all his staff. Great to see some local dudes get up & present too, nice work guys.

Also great to have a beer & meet Bribie at lunch.

Thanks again
Mick

Word has it a clone of Endeavour Amber ale using Topaz hops should be up on the Brewers Choice website tomorow!

The third grain passed around was Simpsons Crystal (not sure if it was the Heritage, i dont think so).

Hooray for beer!

 

[Howlingdog]

Tim lord asked that I pass this on to the people that recieved Topaz and Stella in their packs.

"you might like to keep this handy for anyone who may ask about the appropriate use of Stella or Topaz.

This was an interesting assessment with Topaz in particular being very well regarded.

I'm pretty sure that one was a medium crystal.

Had a great time at the conference and the dinner. Met heaps of great people. Thanks to everyone involved as well as the presenters, especially John from Whitelabs (for being a good sport at dinner), Wade from Four Hearts, the Ipswich lads and Tim from HPA (for the hop production video). Liam's Belgian was nice too.

A dry family wedding or a beer conference... I know which one I should have gone to... :angry:

A dry wedding, how did they get guests turn up for all the boring bits?! :blink: :blink:

Wish I could have been at the QHC but I was moving furniture upstairs instead. At least my day wasn't a dry event, my latest IPA with Stella hops reminds me of the Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA and went down too well for a 6% beer. :chug:

Yeah... Muslims kind of frown on the whole alcohol thing.... but that's okay.... my heaven is way cooler... we have a beer volcano and a stripper factory: The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
