Only if the plate has some food on it! There's only 2.5wks to go so can everyone please confirm what beers you'll be swapping and if you are just coming for the swap part or will also be eating. Do people prefer a kick off around 12 with a later lunch or kick off around 2 with snacks in the...

I think I can rustle up some food to chuck on the bbq - chicken wings, lamb chops and snags sound ok?

What's the normal go for these things? First swap so not sure what usually happens.

Brass for that old english pub style feel. S/S wouldn't suit and the wood would probably end up getting lost among the lacquered bar and uncoated floorboards.

Foot rail 2.2m long.

Lacquer on the panelling 2 coats on the top, 1 coat the rest 3rd coat on top, 2nd on the rest (final coat for now) Now to clean the room from all the dust generated by the belt sander, put the taps on and hook it all up again! Need to put a small 1/4 round at the bottom and get my hands...

Jarrah boards on serving side Panelling replaced with jarrah boards and top bar support in place Jarrah going on the top bar Nearly completed construction

Well looks like I've stuffed this thread up a bit by sorting the files in photobucket but here's a bit of a recap and the current situation Frame Fake panelling Serving side With taps

I'm leaning towards Sunday so Evil G (my brother) is available and would also mean fish13 can make it as well. If nobody has plans for the Sunday we could make it then. Might also keep me out of the dog house as being on sunday would reduce the likelihood of it being a massive piss up.

I will not say no to those that want to bring along a keg. Belt sanded the top and now need to do a little tidying up, puttying the holes and then it's ready for the first coat. Hardest bit will be cleaning up all the dust in the bar due to the belt sander - it's on everything.

Date not set in stone yet - but it will be the weekend 10-11. Been busy as the wife gave birth to my new assistant brewer on Monday. Managed to finish construction of the bar the Sunday morning which was mighty kind of the little fella to hold on till that was done. Trying to find some spare...

It's on - case swap in Guildford on the weekend of 10/11 December.

No real problems. Just get a good strong bucket which doesn't warp under high temps, put a tap at the bottom so you don't have to tip it into the HLT/Kettle, you can drain it. Some people go on about hot side aeration causing unwanted flavours, but I've never had a problem with the hot wort...

Sorry - dropped the ball on this one. Will put it to the boss today and hopefully get back a bit later. Fingers crossed.

I normally just hold the stir plate while tipping the flask, thankfully it weighs nothing.

My 4 plants - unfortunately don't know what is what, but they are all growing nicely. PoR, EKG, Tettnang, Cluster

Check freecycle as there's always pc's given away. Unfortunately I don't know about the jumpers so can't really comment on that sorry. I just know that a psu hooked up to a 24v motor does a great job in driving the mill. It has heaps of torque so make sure both the motor and mill are secured...

I always try to pitch lager yeasts cool if possible and allow to warm - reduces the diacetyl meaning not needing the rest at the end. Having it warm at the start will help the yeast kick off, but there's more unwanted byproducts. The quicker you can get it down to ferment temp the better. Is...

Did you end up getting rid of the spec grain you found L_Bomb?

There's a few asian stores in northbridge. Tran's Emporium on newcastle street would be a start.
