CRABS isnt around anymore, our fearless leader abandoned us for the Hunter Valley! I am pretty sure Matt at the Country Brewer organises a brew club for Coffs, otherwise the Grafton lads get together once or twice a year, but be warned they are a pretty dodgy bunch and will get you in to all...

Now i regret not labeling these bottles...... I can't remember which is which and there are 5 or 6 different brews there! Maybe I'll just enter some random ones into the old "pale" category and hope for the best!

Fun times, didn't wake up nearly as badly as i thought i would :P Don't think you even made it till 8pm Gabba! Had a quick drive around this morning but didn't see anyone braving the storm to cook bacon and eggs in the park, so headed on home.

Brewed my case swap beer yesterday, double batch, put into two ferments, us05 in one, english ale in the other, will bottle one of them up for the swap. Hit all my targets, only thing was i couldn't find my whirfloc, will do an extended cold crash to compensate.

Knocking out a double batch of this and will bottle some up for the case swap. Aiming for a sessionable amber ale, would normally do with more carabohemian but I'm using up my last bit. Carabohemian Rhapsody (American Amber Ale) Original Gravity (OG): 1.050 (°P): 12.4 Final Gravity (FG)...

Hello Grafton! Where y'all hanging out?

That burger looks killer. Waking up in the morning, eating breakfast, then hitting the road. Don't want to miss the horses in the morning. Then the rest of the day to relax, unwind, and try some good/bad/great/wtf is that beer. Its been a hectic year and really looking forward to this!

What time is the march? 9:30? Don't want to get there late and miss it.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking......

Hmm maybe ill come at 11 to see the march, sounds good. Lunch at Roches at 12, head to the club after for 2-up, then onwards to the show ground! Are the march, roches and the club close to each other?

Planning on arriving around 12 on sat, will anyone be around keen for some 2-up and lunch?

I hadn't even thought of that, might head up a little earlier to squeeze in some beer and 2-up beforehand! Hell yes, Saturday is going to be off the charts.

oh ok then, when buses and lifts were being mentioned i started to worry!

How far is it from Roches to the Showground? I've been assuming its within stagger distance.

Thought i might wear clothes. Guess that rules them out for you.

Dropped my entry in to Matt at the Count Brewer today. Looking forward to next Saturday!

Are you sure you are not over priming? Takes a fair bit of pressure to blow up a bottle! I mainly keg, but bottle a few in swing tops from most batches, and use plastic long necks for comps / case swaps etc. No issues with explosions!

That'd be great! I'll only be there saturday night. Shoot me a pm if i need to transfer dosh, otherwise ill pay on the day. Looking forward to it, sampled one of the longnecks of my entry, it warranted a second bottle being opened to confirm my thoughts about the first.

I better book my room, hope you guys haven't taken em all!

Damn, need to track down a fridge mechanic and entice them to join CRABS :P Just kegged/bottled the two beers. The one that fermented out fully in 30 hours is actually quite good and a passable APA, so i bottled some of them and will enter it. The other one tastes like a bad curry that has been...
