Nsw State Competition 2010

[Bribie G]

I note that our QABC state comp is held a month earlier than the NSW and winners will also be invited to enter the Nationals. Brewers might wish to re-brew some beers such as mild ales and Aussie Ales to present them in a 'fresh' condition (brewery fresh, now where have I heard that ) so having a two month gap between QLD and Nationals makes sense. On the other hand moving the State to just before the Nationals would also make sense as the same beers in the same general condition can be brewed and entered in both comps.

Six of one half a dozen of the other?, or would it make sense also to coordinate all the states so their comps were all around the same time and maybe 2 or 3 weeks before the Nats in all states? Not a huge issue but it's something I've wondered about.

For a large number of beers, the month difference is nothing. If you have a beer worthy of a state championships, put a few at the back of the fridge and all will be well. Whilst some beers might do better "fresh" (eg weizens) only the best brewers or brew setups produces consistent results anyway ! I guess those you counterfill from kegs may also gain an advantage if they can re-brew for the Nationals.

Plus there are always interstate judges who like to judge away from home. If we held everything on the same weekend, there does that holiday !

There probably is no "perfect" date or time difference between states and nationals, is there ?

Just wondering what category I would enter an American Wheat beer into? Is there a category similar to the BJCP 6D category (American wheat and Rye Beer) in AABC or ?

Hmm, unfortunately there isn't one in AABC. So it'd have to be in 18.7 Other Specialty. Not perfect but it certainly can be judged there.

Thanks Stu, will have a think about it, Cheers

Hi Stu, any updates on drop off points, entry fee etc?

 

[Stuster]

Flyers will be out this weekend. Just waiting from final responses from a couple of potential sponsors. Entry will be $5 an entry. Entries can be taken to the three brew shops which have already kindly agreed to sponsor us as well as act as drop off points: Dave's Home Brew, Absolute Homebreww and ESB/The Brew Shop. You'll also be able to post in entries or bring them straight to the show ground.

I will finalise everything on the weekend though and so look then for the full details, including the good range of prizes. :beerbang:

was just reading another thread about the national comp, and when i clicked the link, it took me to this thread. i noticed there was no state comp this year (unless i'm blind and haven't seen it) in NSW. is this right or am i missing something?

was only looking because, even though i'd have bugger all x 100 chance of winning, i'd love to enter a beer for feedback.

is there another comp or comps in NSW/sydney/hunter etc this year? i just missed the ESB one recently. excuse my ignorance being a relatively new brewer and all.

State comp I believe will be the Castle Hill comp end of August
