2014 Vic Xmas in July case swap

[JB]

Excellent, close enough but too far to stumble all the way back to Cockatoo

Also, that's breakbeer's neck of the woods mate.

 

[breakbeer]

Hi Nullnvoid, I'm a Cockatoo local a well (just off Bailey Rd). Yet to work out my travel arrangements as it looks like I'll be taking a portable keg system, gazebo & spit roaster. If I can offer you a lift I'll let ya know

 

[Grainer]

I can do the friday night !! might be easy to stay the night of the next day...

 

[Nullnvoid]

Hey breakbeat, that sounds great thanks. Otherwise if you are having trouble fitting everything in, I can give you a hand to take stuff down.

Either way!

[Yob]

In a thorough break with tradition I thought it might be interesting not to do it the week before the event... Weird I know

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

CONFESSION!

Brewed the chestnut pilsner on Saturday, mashed in, insulated keggle and headed off to manticles to collect some hops and visit local butcher. Whilst waiting in butcher I contemplated how good my AG process is getting and that the morning was trouble-free, until I realised I had mashed all the grain without the CHESTNUTS!!!! Argh!

When I got back I drew off some wort and took into kitchen, performed a mini-mash with the chestnuts whilst I was mashing-out the rest of the batch, combined together for the boil. Nothing else could go wrong, right? Wrong. A short while into the boil my brewing assistant (1 yr old pup) decided he'd start trying to eat a european wasp, it bit his lip which swelled quite a bit before I could get the wasp out of his mouth... by the time I had sorted the escapade and booked him in at the Vet I had to cut the boil short by 10 mins, which actually resulted in lower than target gravity (1.044 instead of 1.050) and higher volume (26L instead of 23L).

Having said that, I ended up with a full cube and leftover wort to build a yeast starter for it, so I'm confident it will be a beer to remember, hopefully one that's delightful to drink also!

Yob, are you at capacity for this, hence the reserves?

Would love to swap pending subsequent batches are of high enough quality, also have offset smoker I can bring to help cook!

 

[Yob]

24 is a goodly number to cap at, it allows for a few tasters before the event, by all means, add your name to the reserve list, its common that a few people will drop off the list as it gets closer, this can either allow for others to enter the main swap list or even (as a possibility) that the reserves hold a little mini swap on the side..

I will invite you into a PM thats going about for folks that have put up their hand for Cooking doodies so you are in the loop

:icon_cheers:

 

[Mardoo]

Mmmmm, deep fried doodies.

 

[breakbeer]

I'm (not so) secretly hoping at least two of those tentative swappers pull out, I'm keen as to be bumped up the list & swap some beers

Ok, July 19, better brew something.


Edit: Cheers, Yob. Looking forward to it.
