[a_quintal]

Just dropped it off. Looking forward to an unbiased palate tearing it to shreds.

Noooooo! Missed the cut off Any chance of late entries? I'd drive it out to potters even.

"Entries received after this date will be
discarded and the entry fee returned no late entries can be accepted."

Fair nuff...
Next year

Enter your beers into the Castle Hill comp instead ! Plenty of qualified judges to give you feedback, a well-run annual event with hundreds of entrants. You would have to get your beers down to Sydney drop point fairly soon though. Theres a thread in this section somewhere.

any scores/results?

Yep, still time to get your beers into the Castle Hill show. Entries in by next weekend (Friday really) by post or directly to the showground next Saturday or to the retailers.

How did the state comp go for those who were there?

 

[Jay Cee]

****, Friday is the deadline? I was going to drop mine off on Saturday to Absolute

No, that's fine for Saturday at the brewshops. I was unclearly just noting that the deadline for post is down as next Saturday but there is of course no post on Saturday.

Any news, guys?

 

[bigfridge]

Any news, guys?

Sorry not yet - it will be another week before the judging is complete.

Due to large number of entries and the minimal support from outside the Hunter region we will have to conviene the 4th day of judging next weekend.

Our thanks go out to all the Hunter Brewers and Kelly, Graham, Barry, Mort and Dave who travelled to make this weekend possible.

 

[barls]

sorry to hear that you couldnt get the number of judges you needed, wanted to go but went to beervana instead.

 

[petesbrew]

okey dokey. cheers guys.

As of Wednesday last week it looked we were staring down the barrel of around 320 entries.
Damn good effort by the judges and stewards over the weekend! Probably cursing my name by the end of it....

Some of us turned up for all 3 days, and my palate is FATIGUED. We missed you, Mike.

I'm sure that some of those RIS entries were loaded with table salt to enhance character (maybe it only had to be one).
Sorry if I provided feedback as astringent character, as they were sweet but had the driest finish ever. Later my tongue was shriveled and I could taste salt. Was OK before the RIS flight. Tongue has still not recovered.

I'll apologise now for the infected IPA I entered :lol:

 

[Stuster]

Good effort to all the judges who made it there. Three or four days of judging is pretty intense. It can be a tough job at times. :beer:

then I'm hoping my RIS was one of the earlier ones you judged Les, before your tounge got a-salted,
mine was the black one

 

[BOG]

Was the judging completed today?

BOG

 

[mikk]

I really hope so! I've never checked AHB for thread updates this often before. I'm really hoping to end my 'disappointing results in a beer comp' streak....

I have been checking too but plan to continue my 'How many faults can you have in one beer?' streak in the vain hope of gradually eliminating them from my brewing!

 

[a_quintal]

This is my first comp so really interested in the experience of getting some feedback

How many entries did you expect??

 

[Muggus]

How many entries did you expect??

Far less than last year!
I think it was around 360ish last year; more notice, more people involved, more interest on the forum here...I put a rough estimate on 200 early on - totally blitzed that!
All for the greater good though. Glad to see great commitment to serious homebrewing across the state!

 

[Jay Cee]

Tick tock. The results will be out this week, right?

I have a question for the organisers - what was the correct entry fee ? I seem to think I paid $10 per entry, but was advised of an amended form that required only $7 per entry.

And I thought the Robust Porter flight in the ESB comp was tough. Well done to all who passed judgement!!

 

[mikk]

Ah man, every time someones posts something new on this thread it makes me think the results are in...

Good work HUB for putting your hand up for the comp, but getting swamped with entries. Hope it wasn't too arduous for you guys.

So, PLEASE can we have the expected time-of-release of the results? I'm starting to lose sleep here, & want to know how poorly i've done!

 

[sama]

results are not in yet

 

[a_quintal]

results are not in yet

Damn you

 

[Paul H]

If I remember correctly a couple of years ago they took about a month to be released..

Cheers
