It's time to start booking your leave with work and the family, because you won't want to miss this!
The second ever Australian National Homebrewing Conference 2010 will be held from Thursday October 28 to Saturday October 30, 2010 at the William Angliss Institute, Melbourne.
This year's conference will feature another couple of iconic American homebrewers - Randy Mosher and Gordon Strong.
Randy is famous for penning the one book that every self-respecting homebrewer should own - Radical Brewing. He has also recently released Tasting Beer: An Insider's Guide to the World's Greatest Drink. At the conference he'll be schooling us on extinct Belgian styles, recipe formulation and, of course, radical brewing.
President of the Beer Judging Certification Program and a two-time Ninkasi Award winner, Gordon will give us all the judging info we can handle, including guided tasting panels and the first ever Australian pre-AABC judges' briefing.
All of your favourite events from 2008 will be returning. The Beer & Food Pairing Dinner will again feature food matched to beers from four of Australia's champion homebrewers, Club Night will be back in an expanded format and the Australian Amateur Brewing Championship judging will take place on the Thursday.
But we also learned heaps from the last conference, and have big plans to make this conference a whole lot better. New features will include:
- Judges dinner before the AABC judging led by Gordon and Randy
- More, expanded demonstration sessions
- System Wars: HERMS vs gravity vs brew in a bag!
- Beer cooking challenge
And of course we've got a whole new batch of presenters with some seriously interesting things to say. But we'll keep you in suspense on that front for now.
