antiphile, jump in and take the spot. I can't guarantee that with the short time left I can get something worthy in bottles so the spot is yours. I'm still going to try and brew something anyway (I'll take any excuse to brew if I can find the time!) and at worst I'll just have to drink it...

I'll add myself in as a reserve swapper (position 25?), otherwise it'll simply bring it along to enjoy. Not sure which beer it is yet, but I hear the attendance price is one burnable piece of household furniture...

Late confirmation but I've just kegged a beer and packing the car. See everyone in a bit over an hour!

A massive thanks to Kris for all his work for QABC 2014, it was a very smoothly run comp. Well done to all those helping behind the scenes as well, there's a massive amount of work required to organise and run a competition of this size. Well done to all the place getters too, lets hope they...

Thanks for the feedback. I'd aimed it at a more malt forward variant of an IPA and initially thought it may have ended up too sweet. It's come back in balance, but I could probably squeeze a few more hops in ;) Benken25 - Raunchybier Big upfront smoky aroma, along with some malt sweetness...

If it's had a week of slightly warm storage then it should be right to drink, it was bottled a week before the swap and being naturally carbonated hadn't quite finished. I tried a bottle on Sunday night and it's lost a bit of hop flavour but I'm still happy with it. It's close to a red IPA...

Grabbed a random bottle from the fridge to try. 2) Beersuit - American Wheat. Upfront, light citrus aroma. Pours with a fluffy, persistent white head. Plenty of wheat tart flavour in the taste with a slight metallic tang. Personally I thought it was a tad too bitter for the style, I'd cut...

Right, feedback time! Angus - drunken weasel Some light clove and banana phonelics as well as a light, toasty malt aroma. Medium carbonation so slightly lower than style guidelines. A nice wheat tartness and not overpowered by the sweeter, caramel malts. Possibly a touch thin for style but...

Found this auto-awesome version of Snow going swap bottle surfing and laughed ;) (You may need to click on the image to see the animation)

Glad that I made it this year, it's always great catching up, sharing a beer or 30 and having plenty of laughs with other brewers. Thanks again to Perry and Anna for hosting. Looking forward to the swap beers now, by the description alone they look great!

Really looking forward to tomorrow, I have all the swap beers ready and working on what beers to bring and share. No kegs but I'll ensure that there's some rare and enjoyable beers to share regardless. Looking forward to plenty of random, drunken conversations as per a usual case swap!

Count me in for a plate or three of nibbles also, I'll whip something up to bring. Speaking of wanting a handful of nuts... has anyone heard from InCider? :lol:

It's really about time I turned up to one of these shindigs again, Perry I apologise in advance for the fire / ambo / police calls due to any involvement I may or not have. For legal purposes, my official statement is "I cannot recall" (seems to work for politicians) :beerbang:. Adding myself...
