Nsw State And Castle Hill Comp 2010

[collin wiggins]

Unfortunately, due to a miss communication with the show society, we will not be able to release the results of the comp until early next year when the rest of the show results are given out.

This will mean that entrants will be able to enter the national competition for 2011 instead of 2010 as originally hoped. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

i still think that you will have to release the results for 2010 due to the statements for condition of entry on the forms

This competition will act as the NSW State Homebrewing Competition for 2010 and the qualifying competition for the AABC National Competition.

and also
Provision of Awards:

Results will be mailed to exhibitors after 19th September 2010 with tasting sheets and sponsor prizes. Results will also be posted on the AHB website (www.ahb.com.au) following the completion of judging.

 

[Stuster]

Ok, yep, of course only joking people. :icon_cheers:

Results should be posted on here this evening as long as I don't fall into a deep sleep on the couch. :chug:

Mate, you have to be kidding. Who is the CLOWN in the Show Society who has made this decision?

I hate to think what reaction you are also going to get from your sonsors.

You are going to have a riot on your hands buddy.

I can tell you from my opinion that if this is the case I will be demanding my entry fees back and would NEVER enter the comp. again.

I have been running the Bathurst Comp. as you know. Before we made it a stand alone comp. we ran it in conjuction with the Bathurst Show Society. It was always run a few weeks before the show and results were always given out straight after the comp.

It really amazes me who the ****** is that has made this decision.

I am not having a go at you mate, but you are going to have a war on your hands.

Best of luck

Mate, I just ripped it in to you and I am afraid you deserve it.

Why on earth would you put such a ridiculous statement on a forum for us all to read and then say it was a joke.

Well, this fat duck did not find it funny at all as I would think most of the other entrants didn't either.

I think you really over stepped the mark this time.

That's my opinion and that's that.

Sorry you took it that way. It was meant in fun and the first post did have an emoticon to show that. It was just a gentle poke at the people who are often asking for results even before the judging is completed (thankfully nobody did). Anyway, it was at the end of a long and very tiring weekend and I'm sorry if it came across the wrong way to anybody. Working away at my spreadsheet as the moment.

Fair enough.

I can understand about entrants wanting results within "30 seconds" of the last beer being judged. I got it evey year either with a call on the Mobile or an E-Mail on the Saturday night when I was enjoying a cold beer and handing out the winners their goodies.

That was why we started having the Presentation Night after judging on the Saturday and only my wife and her helpers knew who the winners were until I actually opened each envelope to announce the winners thru the night. You would know as you were here last year.

I also understand that not all comps. can do a Presentation within a few hours of completion of judging. We actually made a rod for our own backs here in Bathurst and that is one of the reasons we decided t have a year off. Might I add now that I am pretty sure won't be doing any more State Comps. so it is up for grabs for who ever wants it in 2011.

Look forward to the results anyway as me and my Mash Brew buddy here in Bathurst have some "friendly" rivalry with our brewing and entering comps.

Cheers

I am not having a go at you mate....

:huh:

Mate, I just ripped it in to you....

????

Biggups for a job well done, Stu... For someone to put in as much time and effort as you have just for the unselfish benefit of your brewing brethren, I think you deserve a big pat on the back. I'm sure after the past two weeks you needed to lighten things up a bit.

Here's to one of the real gentleman of the NSW beer community... :icon_cheers:

F$&@ the haters...

Nice one Stu.

If I wasn't at work, I might have had time to bite.

Thanks for organising, and thanks to all involved, congrats to the winners.

 

[Jazzafish]

You got me stu!

Laughing now of course! Was dirty before realizing though. Ha ha!

Thanks so much for putting this on, big thanks to the judges and stewards for putting all the time and effort in too. 400 entries is a major effort! Hopefully I can lend a hand next time around.

Cheers

 

[redbeard]

Thanks Stu for excellent organising- 400+ entries made for 2 long days. Thanks to Heather for lunch & the the other judges also for their efforts.

cheers

 

[Bill F]

Stu - Thanks for all your work - you desrve a variety of medals and if you can't be humouros in a way that is EASILY understood by anyone who is thinking about it I think that is a little sad for them. Well done and thanks.
Cheers

 

[barls]

[Stuster]

So, here are the full results. Hope all is clear but do let me know if there are any issues.

There really were some great beers there this weekend. The standard of brewing seems to be improving greatly to me. Well done to all place getters and there were also a lot of very fine beers that didn't even place. :beer:

 

[barls]

damn a hc on my 3 week in the bottle ouid bruin damn thats good. cant wait to try the keg in another 6 months.
just a quick one are the scores out of 100 stu.
good work to all the judges and stewards.
congrates to kelly and graham on the first place

 

[campro]

Thanks very much Stu and well done.

Can you pls confirm the placing for category two - the points and the placing don't seem to match up.

Congratulations to all involved and placegetters. From my end it all ran like a well oiled machine.

Cheers
Rod

 

[JonnyAnchovy]

Congrats all, and in particular to Justin Murphy with his Eisbock. I managed to taste a tiny sample, and it was really, really amazing.

 

[Damian44]

It looks like i won 1st place in the Pilsner Category (pick my self up off the floor). Unfortunately my last keg just blew. Could i enter a Oktoberfest that has just carbed up in the Nationals?

A big thanks is indeed needed for the hard working organizers that do a great and speedy job. Congrats and thanks for the hard yards.

Rod, yep, just to recap from the notes on page 2, the points and the placings don't match up due to the best-of-category round. 4-5 beers that scored the highest were judged separately at the end by 2 experienced judges and placed 1,2, 3 and HC.

To reduce variation between tables of judges, winners of each flight were decided by best-of-flight rounds between the best few beers. Thus, the highest placing beer may not necessarily be the winner of the round.

Jon, yep that Eisbock was delicious. Well done, Justin.

And well done to barls. Yep, scores are out of 100. Two judges out of 50.

And Damian, sorry but you can't enter an Oktoberfest as that is not in the pilsner category. You can enter any beer from that category, 3, but that's all.

 

[Barry]

A big thanks to Stu, I don't know how he did all the organisation before and during the comp so well. And lets not forget Phil (OK lets forget him ). No, Phil never stopped either making sure the comp went so well.
It was great to see the Newcastle judges make the trip down for the two days.(they're really into the disco music).
Heather made sure we were all looked after exceptionally well.
A great comp, and I am really happy I had a chance to judge in it.

 

[Silo Ted]

Thanks to all for the organising. Sorry Stu that I couldnt make it, maybe next year.

Stupid question, but Im new at this comp thing. What does HC mean?

 

[MattC]

Congrats to Barry for Champ Brewer and Justin for BOS,

Another big thanks to stu for running this comp.

Im a happy camper, 2 2nds, a 3rd and a HC

Cheers boys

 

[MattC]

Ted, HC means you brew good beer!!

It stands for Highly Commended, unlucky not to place mate.

cheers

 

[beers]

Cheers to Stuster & the rest of the crew for giving up their time. Much appreciated.

:icon_cheers:

 

[petesbrew]

Hats off to all the judges for running this comp, and congrats to all the winners!

 

[samhaldane]

Big thanks to Stu and all the judges and stewards, sounds like a big couple of days!

Sorry again I couldn't help out Stu, would loved to have been there.

[mrs eyres]

Cheers to Stu, judges and stewards. It was awesome to be able to be a part of the judging. It was a BIG couple of days.

[Fatgodzilla]

Well done to all winners and place getters on their success and to all the other people for having a go. To the judges and stewards, well done. And to Stu and the team, as always, you know you have my greatest respect for what you have done. Sorry I couldn't be there, it wasn't by choice.

And to those few who really showed how stupid some people can be, by blowing up over Stu's humour .. (posted at 6.17pm after two days of judging and many prior in sorting, carting , carrying and cooling ) .. fair dinkum, you blokes really need to have a look at yourselves.
