NSW State Comp 2015

[Josh]

I emailed the organisers about the courier from Absolute Homebrew St Marys. Unfortunately it was from work and I haven't been back since. But I did tell them Pat isn't usually open Mondays if that was their plan. Hopefully the courier doesn't turn up to a closed shop on Monday. Given Casey's Beer is up and running, I dare say Pat will be in the brewery on Monday.

Just dropped my'n of at Dave's Home Brew North Sydney. He said he hasn't heard anything about a pick up time. And also said he hopes it's not Monday as he and almost everyone else in Sydney is closed on Mondays.

 

[Barry]

The Brew Shop Campbelltown is also shut Monday. I am about to drive down there and pick up the entry left there and take it to The Brew Shop PEAKHURST. The entries dropped off at Kirrawee have also been brought to PEAKHURST. So the courier needs to go to The Brew Shop PEAKHURST on Monday.
How is the courier going to handle loose bottles, bottles in milk crates, etc.? The people at The Brew Shop will try to pack them as best as possible.

 

[Barry]

I have been to The Brew Shop. It has been confirmed that HUB are having two pick ups, one Monday and one Wednesday. Both by volunteering HUB members. This will cover all drop off points including the ones closed on Monday.
Please understand this is what I have been told. I am not a part of comp organising.

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

Thanks for looking out for us Barry, knew I dropped off to the right place!

 

[MCHammo]

All entries dropped off to The Brew Shop(s) were picked up this morning. You can all relax now. Good luck to all!

 

[motch02]

Not long now! excited to see how my brews stack up in my first comp

 

[Weizguy]

I'm looking forward to judging some great beer. Standards have been rising over the last 5 years, at least.

There are usually some absolute stand-outs in each class, and usually a larger number of good-very good, and a small few which 'needs work", that we try to provide suggestions re troubleshooting any issues.

Now I'm getting ahead of myself...

 

[kaiserben]

First-time entrant here as well.

I only decided to enter at the last minute with whatever spare stuff I had laying around. And really only for feedback.

I entered one that needs a lot of work (hoping feedback will highlight the biggest flaws so I can concentrate on those issues first).
And a couple that have only minor flaws - an IPA that's lost it's freshness, and beer that was straddling 2 styles that I now wish I'd entered in the other category.
And 2 entries that I wouldn't change at all (but both are on the edge for their styles, so who knows how they'll be judged).

Anyway, it's all a learning experience.

When can we expect to receive results?

 

[Weizguy]

I'd say the results will be available after the judging, but not sure how soon. Depends on several factors, but expect a week or so (Maybe sooner if we're really on the ball).
Also depends if you have provided an email address or only a street address.

 

[moodgett]

Another question, is it ok to come along and say hi. Or is it more of a judges/stewards event?

 

[Weizguy]

Sounds OK to me. You might even feel the need to help out with a round or two of stewarding. Get some practice in.

Generally not open to the public, but I can't see any harm unless you bring all your mates and get disruptive.

Some judging action from this mornings session

 

[manticle]

Good to know bald spots feature as much in nsw comps as they do in victoria (and mine has certainly featured extensively).

 

[motch02]

is that BJCP recognised plastic?

 

[asis]

AABC approved

 

[warra48]

Man

Good to know bald spots feature as much in nsw comps as they do in victoria (and mine has certainly featured extensively).

If you look closely, mine is in there too!
Those who know me will find me, and for those who don't, just pretend my name is Wally.

 

[g-funke]

Hey - will the results be posted here later today in pdf form (like all previous years)?

 

[barls]

depends on how organised they are.

 

[warra48]

Results unlikely to be posted today, as the judging continues over today as well.
However, we shall collectively do our best to get them published as soon as practicable.

 

[Moad]

Thanks for the hard work guys, hopefully there are a few spares for you to enjoy after the judging wraps up.

I won't make it out there today unfortunately but look forward to getting some feedback through on my two entries!

 

[Weizguy]

Finished up yesterday afternoon, with judging the BOS round. In general, the standard has improved.
I tasted no badly 'off' beers over both days, just some oxidised, perhaps aged beers and mostly minor flaws and yeast health issues.
Anyway, I feel it's appropriate to post a photo of one of the winners, the legend himself - B.Cranston.

Well done fellas!!, excited for the results

likely you can complete the form now, for quicker notification time.

As long as we have an address/contact phone, the results will come.

 

[Topher]

So....to clarify. Will there be a posting of winning results here or any at other online location?

Are the scoresheets and feedback sent snailmail or email?

I cannot find any reference to this.

 

[motch02]

I've been checking this thread constantly in hopes of seeing the score sheet

Maybe I'm a bit over excited
