Wa State Competition

[roger mellie]

maybe brendon knows something we don't like the results?

That was my greater concern

RM

 

[brendanos]

I wish!!

I was purely reenforcing RM's sentiments in hope that they'd be addressed.

 

[brendanos]

So... anybody got a when/where yet? The suspense is killing me.

 

[Guest Lurker]

Hi guys. I understand that posting of the places is about a day away, and that a couple of people are currently sorting a pile of scoresheets spread scross a floor for posting.

 

[brendanos]

Cheers!

[Simon W]

Congrats to all.
'Tis an impressive range of brews!

 

[brendanos]

Props to Asher and Adam! And lesser props to everyone else that scored well, looks like there was some fierce competition.

+Asher I think they've mixed us up, did you enter a cream ale?

 

[Ross]

Well done all...

Out of interest, did any of the WA BIAB's enter, or get a result?


Cheers Ross

 

[Aaron]

Out of interest, did any of the WA BIAB's enter, or get a result?

Don't get them started. Those guys don't need any encouragement. I'm sure we will see a thread, or seven, at the end of competition season detailing exactly how many places biab brewers got.

Oh and congrats to everyone that scored a place. A big congrats to the organisers for getting a WA competition going too.

 

[wee stu]

Yeah, well done to all concerned - great to see a WA comp on the go.

Congratulations to eveyone involved - this is only the start.

With the calibre of brewing in the West this will grow into something really big.

awrabest, stu

 

[Trent]

Well done to all the winners, Asher, Brendanos, and am I correct in recaliing Guest Lurkers real name earning him a first and a second? (I am pretty bad with names!). Judging by some of the scores, there were some very high calibre beers entered. Glad I didnt have to go up against ya's!
All the best
Trent

Actually Brendan you did, you put 12.2 on the entry form. But the judges were so on the ball, as soon as they tasted it it got moved to 12.5.

Hi guys. I understand that posting of the places is about a day away, and that a couple of people are currently sorting a pile of scoresheets spread scross a floor for posting.

In the end the judging sheets got moved from that particular floor to my office floor, and sat there while real jobs got in the way. But today I finally scanned all of the judging sheets, emailed them to anyone that gave a non-bouncing email address, and posted them to anyone that didnt. So if you dont get a copy of your judging sheets in the next few days, one way or the other, contact me to send them again.

And a third...well..last in a category of three beers, but I'll take what I can get. Thats the advantage of getting in in the first year before it gets too popular.

 

[Vlad the Pale Aler]

Thanks Cap'n just got mine.
Great effort by all involved, good also to see a lot of new names in there.

 

[Guest Lurker]

For those that missed the awards presentation for the WA comp at Last Drop Brewery tonight, it was a well run event, where the prizes given to the winner of each category were either a full sack of Cryer malt, a corny keg, or a new fangled poly tetra watsit fermenter with racking arm. Plus there were medals. Pretty rich pickings by Aussie home brew comp standards, a very well done to the sponsors, and I bet we get a lot more entries next year.

 

[big d]

Providing i dont muck up the dates i will be in next years comp.

Cheers
