Vicbrew '08 Results

[fraser_john]

I did not see when the results were going to be posted, does anyone have any idea?

 

[Fourstar]

Good question!

I have 3 styles I want to see results for. 1st comp ive entered.

 

[chris.taylor.98]

They usually take about a week or so for the full results to come through.

I sometimes get them early through the Melbourne Brewers mailing list. If I do will post them on this thread.

 

[Thirsty Boy]

I presume if you placed in a category, that you get a reasonably quick notification so that you have time to get your subsequent entry for the AABC in order??

Not that I am expecting this to be an issue for me - but I can live in vain hope.

 

[chris.taylor.98]

Results will be out in plenty of time for people to get their entries ready for the AABC.

Rest assured that nobody at Vicbrew wants to see Victoria under represented in the AABC and give those interstaters a head start, especially with the ANHC in Melbourne.

Thanks Hutch, although I do feel like I cheated a little bit by entering a Cider (came 2nd out of 3 entries)

Yeah, and by that measure, it also got 2nd last in the category - don't go bragging about that!
...and big-ups on the result in the Wheat beer category - having tasted your case-swap beer last Christmas, I'm NOT surprised!
Cheers :icon_cheers:

That was pretty quick. Congrats to all who did well. 36 out of 56 for my first ever comp entry is alright I guess...

 

[Fourstar]

Well thirsty,

Best of Show!

Congrats! :icon_cheers:

Well for my 1st comp

APA - 42 of 56
Belgian Wit - 25 of 31
Specialty - Choc porter 14 of 16 (not suprised due to chocolate being heavily on the low end.)

Best to go off the tasting notes to work out why ive scoed so poorly, hopefully its simple stuff and not infection etc.

Congrats to all the place getters!

That was the Weizenbock I brewed for the Xmas in July caseswap (has placed twice now).

Also the Mild I have brewed for this current swap placed 2nd, so looks like I should keep entering my case swap brews

Score sheets should be mailed out next week according to an email sent out with the results attached. I'm very curious to see what was good and bad. I'm a bit confused about the scores...I thought it was out of 50?

 

[Maple]

I too thought it was out of 50. The only thing I can think of is that it is out of 50 with 3 scores that are cumulative, i.e. it's really out of 150?? not sure, maybe someone in the know can let us new comp go'ers in on it. I'm stoked with a 3rd in the specialty cat. :super:

Correct scores are accumaltive accross 3 judges, so are out fo 150.

I did notice that a lot of the categories they could only get 2 judges, so they would have worked out the 150 on the basis of just 2 score sheets in this case.

BTW if you guys are entering comps, putting your hand up for the judging is a great way of getting to know styles better, and getting to know what other brewers are doing. It certianly hsa improved my brewing a lot.

 

[fraser_john]

Well I am happy, but I guess I have a lot of learning to do still:

45th of 50 for my APA
6th of 30 for my American Barleywine, stoked with this
16th of 30 for my Russian Imperial Stout (American style) - so so
16th of 21 for my weizen, I figured this was not going to do well

But, now to look forward to the scoring sheets!!! Hope to find some pearls of wisdom!

 

[Thirsty Boy]

Thanks Guys.

Not my first Vicbrew Chris, my second - just the first time I have managed to place anything. Pretty happy - and congrats to you as well Mr Champion Brewer. If the beers of yours I have tasted are any indication, something like this was inevitable.
