Yeah, but I'm still in "NHC judge mode", and I'd probably have given it a bronze medal at best, with some comments on "not quite to style, work on bitterness, maybe some noble hop aroma". ;)

Bugger, not sure if I'm going to be able to attend on the new date as I have the office Christmas function in the evening. I might be able to drop my entry and run, however. Will try and figure something out.

I'll be there with an entry. See you all on the 1st.

Having just tasted mine, I will throw my hat in the ring.

There are some obvious flaws, but I think it sufficiently passable to enter.  Poor head, perhaps a touch too dark, possibly even some estery flavours.  But gods know I need the feedback.

Looking forward to meeting you all on the 1st.

Yeah good feedback is one thing that is sorely missed at a lot of competitions, it's probably the main reason for entering for most.  Looking forward to getting my NHC note back to see what they had to say.

Well I've got two to enter, ones a German red ale and the other I'm not sure yet since it's just gone into the keg yesterday, still a bit green appley.  I have to admit that I have never had a commercial alt so I'm brewing blind, all good fun and look forward to seeing if I was anywhere near in a couple of weeks.

Is there anyone attending that is in the Orewa/Warkworth area that could take a bottle to the comp for me. I will be away but wouldn't mind entering a bottle.

OMG! just found a singular bottle conditioned version of my Alt in the cupboard! mustve been spares from the fermenter at kegging time. And I'm back in!

Is anyone else going from centralish Auckland and wants to share a lift?
