Entry forms and labels are on the show website www.tanundashow.org.au On the front page click on entry forms then Home Brewed Beer and there is a downloadable pdf.

The show is open to all amatuer brewers not just residents of the Barossa so I encourage everyone to have a go and put something in. To members of the Adelaide Mash Brewers, let's see if you can mix it with the boys from the Barossa! We need a little friendly rivalry. For members of the Barossa Brewers Club we still need stewards for judging day, Saturday 4th March at the Tanunda Hotel, food will be provided.

Cheers

Entry form shows Beer style example as 3.1 Australian Pale Ale, but the list given in original post does not show sub-numbers for the sub style.

On the entry form should we just put 3 Pale Ale?

Found it Linky

If you follow that link and scroll down you will see all the categories and sub-styles listed as per the example. So Australian Pale Ale should be listed on the entry form as 3.1. The original post here just listed the styles as a rough guide, please follow the guidleines as listed on the show website here click on Home Brew Beer.

Cheers
Luke

We'll start pretty early, probably 8.30 for a 9am start, and try and be finished by 1ish depending in the number of entries.

1. Is the Tanunda Show open to interstate brewers as well, or just SA brewers?

2. Will prizes be sent out to interstate entrants? I ask for clarification because the rules state that:

".......... After 2 weeks of non-collection, any prize moneys & certificates (incl. judging sheets) will be forfeited and their bottles & judging sheets will be disposed of".

Well guys and girls, entries for this years Tanunda Show close on Wednesday and the entries are flowing in now from both Adelaide and Barossa brewers. We have received some amazing support from a lot of companies like Wyeast, Joe White, NZ Hops and Bintani as well as Beer & Brewer so it'd be great for as many "local" brewers as possible to have a go and enter your beers. Feedback from judging is to help all of us become better brewers so regardless of your experience/setup/brew style or whatever, there is still time to put in a few entries. Entry forms and bottle labels are here. As murcluf said entries can be dropped off at the above listed places. So come one & all, put your beer in and have a go, you never know you might actually win!

Cheers :beer:

Would just like to congratulate Luke for the amount of sponsorship he has managed to track down and also to the mentioned companies.

Home brewing since I got back into it 4 yrs ago has really come a long way. So its no surprise to see companies like Wyeast, JW and Bintani throw out support. Here in the Barossa, the local brewers that I have known for years are beginning to realise there can be more to brewing than just throwing a can off the shelf and mixing it with water. Hell, this arvo I had a mate around who after tasting the fruits of my labour, wants to hire my AG system

Anyway enough about me (I'm starting to sound like GMK) Anyone who can, why not throw a few entries in.

Well, judging for the Tanunda Show was all done on friday night and Saturday. With 113 entries Tanunda Show is second to SABSOSA, so it's a big part of the SA homebrew scene and we hope to continue to make it bigger and better. It was a big slog thorugh all the entries and many thanks go out to all those who judged, stewarded and helped out. Thanks to Murcluf, BYB, KHB, Smurto, Alan, Steve, Kingy, Dave, Craig and all the staff and management at the Tanunda Hotel for allowing us to use their space and for providing excellent hospitality. There were some exceptional beers and of course a number of not-so exceptional beers too. Full results will be published later in the week.

After 2 weeks of non-collection, any prize moneys & certificates (incl. judging sheets) will be forfeited and their bottles & judging sheets will be disposed of.

Hmmm, I don't have a copy does it matter when I collect my judging sheets?

 

[lobo]

Yep, great getting involved with the judging. Bloody hard slog getting it all over the line in respect to the judging. Hopefully we can give the BJCP guys a little more notice next year and get them up here (less than an hours drive fron Adelaide). Would be good for all others concerned to learn a little more. While we are on the subject of BJCP judges, does anyone know exactly how many are kicking around. ( BJCP judges that is) It would be good to get a list of contact numbers, early in anticipation for next year.
As can be seen by the number of entries yet again this year that brewing is becoming big bussiness. With the help and guidance of the experinced judges it can only be of benefit in promoting brewing.
