Gold Medal for Our Bilge Pump Saison

We just got the results for the NSW Amateur Brewing Championships 2012, and our Bilge Pump Saison got a gold medal...finishing second to a Fruit Lambic.

Unfortunately this has caused all sorts problems, as we had run out of Bilge Pump Saison!  And with entries needing to be in Melbourne by the 13th of October - we needed to get cracking brewing another batch. An emergency trip to Peakhurst was made - and -  as I refused to waste the starter I had already made for this weeks brew, our Escape To Saftey Hefeweizen, it meant brewing twice in one day.  Not something I want to do every day.  But we have prevailed, and I am about to pitch the yeast in both the Saison and the Hefeweizen  - and call it a day.
