Thank you for your interest in the NSW State Homebrew Competition organized by NSW Homebrewing Association, NSW.

Thanks and Good Luck To All Who Entered the NSW State Homebrew Competition!

There are 274 registered entries and 90 registered participants, judges, and stewards.

As of 10:40, AEST, there are 274 received and processed entries (this number will update as entries are picked up from drop-off locations and organized for judging).

Rules

This competition is BJCP sanctioned and open to any amateur homebrewer age 18 or older that is resident in NSW.

All mailed entries must be received at the shipping location by the deadline - please allow for shipping time. All entries will be picked up from drop-off locations the day of the drop-off deadline.

All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers (i.e., no use of commercial facilities or Brew on Premises operations, supplies, etc.)

The competition organisers are not responsible for entries entered into the wrong style, mailed entries that are not received by the entry deadline, or entries that arrived damaged.

Qualified judging of all entries is the primary goal of our event. Judges will evaluate and score each entry. The consensus of the scores will be used to rank each entry in its category. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge.

Brewers are not limited to the number of entries per category but may only enter each style once.

The competition committee reserves the right to combine overall style categories and reallocate prizes based on number of entries. All possible effort will be made to combine similar styles. All brews in combined categories will be judged according to the style they were originally entered in.

In the event of tied scores in determining the first three places, this will be resolved either by the judging panel during judging or using a progressive countback until the tie is resolved based on:

a) highest score for Overall Impression;

b) highest score for Flavour;

c) lowest range of individual judge scores (smallest spread of scores across panel);

d) the judging panel will be requested to resolve the tie.

The Best of Show will be determined by the highest scoring beer.
