Hi QLD Brewers,
We are using the same 20 categories as last year (18 beers, and one cider and one mead) and the descriptions can be found on the AABC web site www.aabc.org.au Please note that these are using the old BJCP guidelines, not the new ones.
Judging will take place on Saturday, 17 September at the Prince Alfred Hotel, 170 Brisbane Road, Booval. Close off dates for entry will be Saturday 3 September at either Craftbrewer, Brewers Choice or National Homebrew stores.
The organising committee is assessing moving to an online registration system and until that decision is made, the QABC web site will not be updated.
The cost of entry remains at $5 per brewer plus $5 per entry.
Due to the continued growth of the competition and pressure that is placing on cool room storage, brewers are only being asked to submit one bottle per entry, rather than two. Brewers need to have a second bottle available and if they come in the top 3, they will be asked to forward their second bottle to the organisers, who will arrange shipment to Adelaide and pay the AABC entrance fee ($10).
In addition, we will need volunteers to assist with judging and stewarding. An appeal has already gone out to BJCP judges and there should be one BJCP qualified judge for every class, but we will still need a second judge. The Prince Alfred Hotel is close to the Booval railway station and has plenty of parking. The plan is to judge the entire competition on the Saturday which will require a minimum of 40 judges and 10-12 stewards, so your assistance is essential! If you would like to volunteer, please do so on the QABC web site once it has been updated.
Cheers,
Mark Davies
