It doesn't look like I've been sent an email. Can I PM someone my email address or find out what's involved in getting my entry organised?

Darren, send it to me & I'll see if I can get an answer/solution for you.

I planned on dropping them off to brewers den tomorrow otherwise there is a Melbourne brewers meeting tomorrow night at boronia you could drop them off at

You people meet on a Wednesday night?? You either take this beer drinking thing a lot less, or a lot, lot more seriously than the Westgate brewers

I'm in the same boat as Darrenp. This was my first ever Brew comp and I would like to have a go at the nationals but I have no idea how to go about it.
It was quite a shock to get a first!!
Darrenp, I'm up the road in Fishy and could get bottles to Melbourne on Thursday??

 

[darrenp]

Really OMG I'm sitting here sulking because the boss wont let me go to Melbourne Brewers tomorrow night because she has a mums group dinner. That was about the only chance I'd have to get down. If you could get down there Thursday that would be great. Looks like we need to sort that club out.

Thanks

 

[GrumpyPaul]

You tell MrsDarrenp that you're an award winning brewer and to get her priorities right.

Contact admin@vicbrew on the website for answers (for some reason, I can't access anything on the site to give you guys a linky...)

 

[Andyd]

Evening all (or morning). I've just finished uploading all the scoresheets to CompMaster. If you entered online, your scoresheets can be downloaded from the "MyEntries" tab.

Let me know if there are any missing sheets and I'll see what we can do to fix it.

Cheers!

Andy

Guys, please note the time of Andy's post if anyone has doubts about the committment shown by members of the organising committee......

 

[manticle]

It's only cos you were all out till the wee hours gambling away the expansive profits from the exorbitant entry fees.
Please note also both posts above were sent from ibiza and were typed with an expensive escort on each arm.

I suppose if you looked at it from a distance and squinted really hard Tasmania might look like Ibiza...

Thanks For the offer Andrew but I've decided to send my entry off today by express post. Must catch up for a brew soon.

 

[Wolfman]

Anyone know what this box is used for?

 

[MartinOC]

Erm.....indicating Stylistic accuracy & Technical Merit perhaps??

 

[dannymars]

^^ Boxes weren't ticked on a lot of my entries either.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Hypothetically speaking.

Lets pretend you got a third place in the APA category scoring 106. So you get to submit an entry into the APA category at the Nats.

And lets pretend you also put what you called a RED IPA in the Specialty category that scored 120 and the judging comments are things like, "bitterness a the low end for an IPA", and "too good for and IPA" , and "more like an APA"...

Hypothetically would you send the APA that got 106 to the Nationals or rename the red IPA that scored 120 and say its an APA and send it up.

 

[Blind Dog]

Pretty sure there's nothing in the rules that says the hypothetical entrant has to enter the same beer, but even at the low end of bitterness a Red IPA isn't that likely to fit the style guidelines for an APA on colour, strength, body and mouthfeel. Unless of course it always was an APA and the hypothetical entrant merely mislabelled it and is confident it will score well against other APAs

 

[julesinoz]

So. Can someone let me now which committee member is closest to Northcote area. And how can I reach that person to organise a drop off. That is assuming I have enough ml remaining in my keg to fill a bottle. I didn't realise the drop off was so near and tapped a few in celebration to share at our meeting last night. Oops.

Thanks heaps for a great comp guys.

I liked it at the Top 5, might have needed a bit more body to balance the intense heat. Would be awesome with tradition wood fired oven pizza piled high with ham and cheese.

Traditional pizzas aren't "piled high" with anything [emoji6]
