Tanunda Show 2010

[Luka]

The 2010 Tanunda Show Home Brew competition will be held at the Tanunda Show Hall on Saturday 13th March. Entries close end of business Monday the 1st. Entries may be dropped off to the following places:

• Luke Willis, Rockford Wines, Krondorf Rd, Tanunda
  Beer Belly, Pooraka
  Brewmaker, Holden Hill

I have attached the entry form with labels and the 2010 style guidelines. This years guidelines have been tweaked to make them more in line with SABSOSA and we have included a new section, the ANZAC challenge (details below).

ANZAC Challenge rules

• Beer may be either All Grain or extract there are seperate categories for each
  Beer must be brewed with either all Australian or New Zealand grains/extract and hops
  Yeast is at the brewers discretion. Brewers may use an Australian yeast if desired but may also use an appropriate yeast to the style being brewed, ie a lager yeast.
  All entries for the ANZAC challenge may also be entered into the regular categories but must be within the style guidelines for the particular class. For example, an Australian Pale Ale may be entered into section 3.1 AUS Pale Ale and the ANZAC challenge.
  Please indicate where appropriate on the entry form if a beer is to be entered into the ANZAC challenge
  Entries for the ANZAC challenge will be judged on their particular style guidelines where appropriate, but first and foremost on the balance, drinkablity and overall quality. The judges and organisers reserve the right to assess an entry within these guidelines.
  Please remember that this is the first year we are running this and we are still fine tuning it. If you have any queries or comments regarding how we judge the beers please direct them to myself at Luke Willis
  We encourage brewers to be imaginative and innovative with their brewing, if you want to brew a wattle seed wheat beer, then by all means. A vegemite stout, why the hell not!

I'm also putting the call out for help with judging and stewarding. We will be holding the judging at the Tanunda Hotel on Friday the 5th and Saturday the 6th. If anyone is interested in helping out please email me at the above address. If any BJCP accredited judges are available then we will register the event with the BJCP organisation, otherwise its not worth it.

Thank you all for you support and entries in previous years, we hope to make 2010 the biggest and best yet!

Cheers,
Luke

$3 per bottle - bargain!

I will struggle to attend due to sport commitments, but I shall certainly enter a few beers.

I like the ANZAC challenge too! Fingers crossed I have some home grown POR ready for the batch

Question - being aligned with SABSOSA, I presume there is a limit to the number of Styles that can be entered in each Category (i.e. 2 max styles per Category)?

Well done on organising this Luke.

Cheers!

Thanks mate!.
At this stage we haven't put a limit on entries for each class, style wise or number wise. So if you want to enter a beer in to each of the Pale Ale class you can!

Cheers,

PS Nevermore rocks!

Yes it would be great to actually have a certified BJCP judge present. Having only be brewing for a few years and still learning it would be fantastic to have this comp as a recognised BJCP event. While I have no issues with any State Comps such as SABSOSA, to have a regional comp such as this with some experienced judges to guide us beginners would be of much benefit. This Tanunda event has grown remarkably over the years so much so that it actually has far more entries than the amateur wine section. Considering the Barossa is known around the globe for its wine!!

So how about it Jayse

Guys, just a quick update. There will be a very BIG announcement with the prizes for the Best Of Show beers, Best Kit & Best mash. Watch this space, this prize is one of the best anywhere!!! one of the Big boys in the beer industry has offered us a very cool prize, details to follow next week. Get your entries in, it will be well worth it!!

 

[Luka]

So, big announcement has been finalised as of Friday! The big boys have stepped up and showed their support for the home brewing community with an awesome prize now available. SA brewing have very generously offered the Tanunda Show Homebrew competition either (winners choice) a personalised tour with the brewers at the West End brewery on Port road, including a tasting session to see how the big guys do things OR (an I think this is the one most f you will be keen on) a day at the Knappstein brewery in the beautiful Clare Valley for a more "hands on" experience!

Regardless of your personal feelings toward the large brewers we are very lucky to get these prizes which we will offer to the Best Extract and Best Mash winners. All the more reason to enter and try to win one of these great prizes.

Cheers,
Luka
