6:46pm - Welcome
NSW state comp - 10th - 11th September. The committee have been busy contacting sponsors. 8 left to fill. Entries should be able to be accepted in a week or two. We are still chasing volunteers for stewarding and judging.
Sydney clubs have committed to sending judges and volunteers, yet to see what the numbers will be though.
Sign up form will be available on the website.
The organising committee floated the idea of one free entry per day volunteered. All seemed to agree that this was fine.
Brendan has reached out to the Maitland council to see if we are invited to be a part of it this year. Still waiting to hear back from them.
Jeremy will send through details of the RSA that he did which was easy and online. Here is the link for those who are interested.
"Uber" brewery tour is still coming - State comp has interrupted things. Rob wants a sash (joking... perhaps not joking). Time frame would be good for September-October.
Tech Talk
Dave Lammotte
Tasting beer - off-flavour tasting

Pick the different beer - fault was light struck
We did 4 taints from the taint kit. Faults included acetaldehyde, diacetyl and DMS.
