I'm on hols in sunny Port Macquarie and the local Big W has the new DIY kits on sale for around $74 (about $10 off). Not sure if it's the same price country wide, but worth a look if you're interested in getting one.
Sorry guys.
Forgot when this was on in October. Couldn't have made it anyway, as I was away on a bike riding trip down to Victoria.
See you at the next one.
Dave.
Ian,
Jeez you've got a good memory. That Morgan's Blue Mountain Lager is a cracker kit beer. IIRC it was just the can + Morgans lager liquid malt. It was always my favourite kit.
BTW I wasn't having a go at kit beer, just the taste of bottled New. A properly handled kit beer will always beat a...
4. Shmick - Imperial Amber, OG 1.071, WY1028. Bottled 5/7/10 ready to drink but will improve over the next month or 2
I will just say this about Mick's entry.
This beer makes all the effort we put into case swaps worthwhile. Everything about it is 110% - presentation, flavour, aroma, body &...

Our normal venue is no longer available & a new one is still being sorted out.
Hopefully we'll see you at the...
12. Rurik Belgium Blond. ABV 5.6%
Had one of these last weekend, even though it's a bit early according to the swap list. Despite that, it's coming along well.
Lovely clear light gold colour. A subtle lemony aroma & flavour, yet enough of that Belgium influence to make it interesting...
Scott,
Thanks for the feedback. I must admit, I had 2 pints of this tonight & am really happy with the way it is now. It's getting a real earthy background note, which I think is coming the Challenger I chucked in at flameout.
Drink up #2 now guys, it's ready to roll !
Looking forward to your...
Thanks Tony.
I agree with your thoughts on this beer. It's not the beer I had planned on, but still drinkable. It just needs a bit more time in the bottle to carb up.
If you other swappers haven't tried #2 yet, leave it out of the fridge until mid-august & hopefully the carb level will improve.
