I don't normally blow my own trumpet - in this case I'm blowing it for BIAB and to encourage those new to the method who may perhaps harbour some niggling doubts about whether BIAB is 'second best' or some sort of soft option.
Anyway this year, as announced tonight at the awards night, the Brisbane Amateur Beer Brewers Competition yielded these Results for my BIAB beers:
1st - Pale Ales and Bitters - Special Bitter 42 points (out of 50)and Silver
1st - Stouts and Porters - Dry Stout - 44 points and Silver
1st - Dark Ales - UK Mild - 43 points and Silver
3rd - Lagers & Pilseners - German Pils - 37 and Bronze
Champion Brewer as well with a trip for two to New Zealand for a beer festival in Wellington. Woohoo :twisted: .
Well done my faithful bag and urn :D
The comp is judged strictly to BJCP guidelines. It would be one of the larger clubs in Australia and AFAIK I was the only BIAB brewer to take any prizes, everyone else being 3v, herms, etc. As I said, not blowing my trumpet, just a confirmation to new brewers that when judged impartially against all other methods, BIAB not only holds its own but can be a winner.
State comps next
BIAB competition success
