Winner Of Babbs Trip To Ny Is......

[clarkey7]

BribieG,

Thanks for the kind words...

It's a real shame that you are unable to get over to the states this time...and I still feel a bit weird/guilty for going in your place.... h34r: I am however very excited to be representing us (BABBS, AHB, Aussies & Aussie home brewers in general) and will try to learn and bring back as much as possible to everyone.

I am really pleased with how my beers went as a I changed a lot of my setup and techniques this year and am still blown away by the whole thing.

And we'd all be more than happy to setup your keg fridge and help you test the taps. :icon_drunk:

Big congrats on winning the comp...and being named:

BABBS Champion Brewer 2009. Onya Bribie,

PB

Truly an awesome competition and a fantastic Club.
Don't feel guilty PB, you must deserved it as your entries would have to of been right up there as well.

Andrew

 

[Bribie G]

Cheers
I should point out that although my entries accumulated more points in the comp as a whole, the top winning beer trophy itself went to MossyRocks for his APA, and at the June BABBs meeting he brought along a very creditable Czech Bo Pils and Ian is definitely a man to watch over the coming year.

Congratulations to all the winners especially BribieG and PocketBeers.

Many thanks for the kind words and lets see if we can replicate our results in the QABC comp shortly.

Also many thanks to the judges and stewards who did a fantastic job on judging day to ensure the event ran without a hickup.

Once again many thanks to all entrants especially the members who make Babbs such an excellent club and grounding for very good brewers.

Cheers,

mossyrocks

Nice work BribieG and PocketBeers! :super:

And Dave, if you see Zizzle, tell him he's a big girlie nancy boy for not coming to the swap

Congratulations guys. I want to see pics of everything when you get back PB.

The only thing wrong with going overseas is the bloody foreigners.

Thanks guys.. a word of explanation:

I did indeed win the comp, but sadly will be unable to go to NY due to family and work reasons, so happily passed the trip onto the second place winner, Pocket Beers.
PB is not only a top brewer but is the sort of guy, if you saw him in town you would unthinkingly jaywalk four lanes of rush hour traffic to go over and shake his hand "hey it's good old PB over there" and he will be an excellent ambassador for Aussie Home Brew in New York.

Anyway not all doom, there was a fairly good cash component with the prize as well so I'm finally off to get my Keg Fridge tomorrow then down to Ross to get taps, tubes, regs and a tutorial on how to bang it all together. I actually have a full keg of my winning superTTL already waiting.

Next year is either West Coast USA or the Great British Beer Festival as I understand so me preparations start this afternoon :icon_cheers: :icon_cheers:

I'ts also a win for BIAB which is as important to me as one year's personal success.

:icon_drunk:

What a man! Well done to you all... and well done to BIAB.... whOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 

[clean brewer]

Well done to the Winners of the various sections and to all the BABBS in general... :icon_chickcheers:

If im still in this town next year or wherever, I will be joining BABBS and making the trip down once a month for the meetings and have a crack at your Comp. <_< And/or get some feedback on my brews.... :unsure:

Awesome work again...

I may have been p*ssed on the weekend, but I'm sure I got permission to go regularly to BABBs after explaining this competition. Well done again BribieG, and don't take any ***** from Zizzle PB.
