Pressure filling at 32 degC even when the bottles have been in the freezer since Monday is an art.
Regardless my entry is bottled and will be dropped off to Duff's tomorrow.
Hope you all enjoy it, as I was drinking the overflow @ 32degC @ 6.8% after a 70 hour week
Yep I'm pretty trashed

Beers,
Doc

Ho Ho Ho,

Summer is approaching (though you wouldn't think it in NSW at present :huh: ), that means time for some nice cold suds brewed by our fellow NSW brewers whilst watching the Aussie flogs the Poms in the Ashes.

New transport arrangements have been arranged with our Newcastle boys, so it's time.

Please add your name if you are interested in participating in an end of year case. It is open to the first 28 brewers. You will be responsible for providing 28 bottles of your finest in 2 milk crates to the designated drop off, by the designated date. If we have more than 28 and someone withdraws, then the next person in line will fill the spot.

Lets get it on :beerbang:


1. Duff

From post #1 on this thread. Gotta agree, Mr Duffman. Will save some Weizen for the Ashes win.
It's not about the beer, it's about the cricket!

Hopin' for some more Summer weather to carbonate the beer. Then lager for 2 weeks in the fridge before guzzling at 8-10 C. Probably good for Christmas day, if not before. You see, I have some weizen in PET bottle, so I can squeeze and then test for max carbonation/ flavour sample. I like 'em young, these weizens.

Really looking forward to POL's Dunkel, and all the others, too. Will be taking one to work, from time to time, to show to potential beer judges (ha ha ha).

Seth

Duff, On my way to your house in a minute. Won't be knocking incase it's too early, so just holler if you see me there, otherwise beer will be beside the front door. Then it's off to homebake in the rain. WOOHOO, wet T-shirts.

Mmm Berto, you and I must have had the same maths teacher. I don't usually bottle and was sure I could
count to 28 but .... I'm three short. I even bottled 7 or 8 stubbies so it wasn't as if I didn't have enough -
I've included a few 'commercials' for the guys doing the sorting to do what they want with. With the drop
outs, shouldn't be a problem?

This exercise has been more stressful than I imagined. The plan was to keg and taking advice from a couple
of threads on 'Bottling From Kegs', use the Pluto to slowly fill the frozen bottles with cold beer. I was
expecting a little foaming. I had deliberately overcarbonated the beer a bit, dropped the pressure to very low
and had a go. Half a bottle was the best I could do.

Plan B was a similar brew that was put down on the planned bottling day. There was still time to ferment out
and bottle but it would be close. A couple of mates had been saving some bottles for me and after a closer
look they were 800ml! I never buy long necks and had no idea that 800ml was a new standard for some
megabreweries. Without reading back through the whole Case thread I got it into my head that bottles had to
be 750ml.

Next ring the HBS and order several dozen new bottles @ $1.45 per bottle. They arrived the next day and I
was relieved - until I measured the capacity - 730ml!

Eventually I did what I should have done and reread the whole thread again and realised that 800ml was fine.
Anyway, the beer should be at Duff's front door today. It was bottled on 26/11 so a few weeks should allow
enough carbonation.

If anyone wants some new 730ml bottles give me a yell .

There's a slab of 'special stuff' as well that I have asked Duff to share amongst the people who have made
the swap possible.

Unfortunately I only have a couple of stubs of the xmas case beer for testing and no other stock of hb at the moment, so , due to the drop outs, I will gladly give any extra bottles to the people who have donated their generous time and effort to make this swap happen

cheers

[n00ch]

Well cases were sorted today and all the Newcastle return cases are at MHB's waiting to be picked up.

Thanks Duff for putting up the place and organising the smooth sorting today.

Cheers

 

[Duff]

Woohoo, finally back online.

Sort went well and before the big dump of rain. Cases are ready to pick up here.

Thanks to all.

EDIT: Forgot to add I'll be at home all day tomorrow if you wish to come and collect.

 

[Doc]

I'll be around mid-morning Duff.

Cheers,
Doc

 

[Doc]

Picked up my case from Duff this morning. Looking forward to some quality brews.
Mine is ready to drink straight away guys. Best fresh.

Beers,
Doc

 

[Keith the Beer Guy]

Thanks Duff and Nooch and all others involved.

I will crack open my first taster tonight.

Cheers,

Keith

 

[Barramundi]

[Linz]

Beerslayer has them...to collect...PM him to arrange pick up..

Thanks for the 'Extras', much appreciated

 

[Barramundi]

great stuff Linz .. thanks to you and everyone else who played a huge part in making this happen

 

[T.D.]

Hello all, finally able to login to the site again! I apologise for not including any extra beers for the organisers with my case. I don't have any spares of the actual case beer and other beers I have had not been tried yet and I always like to taste a few first before giving them out. So anyway, I'll try and organise with Gerard some way of getting a few bottles to the organisers in the near future. Quite funny actually, before going with the Hunter Valley Pale Ale I brewed an APA for the case, which I didn't end up submitting. Well, I must say I am really enjoying it at the moment and am kicking myself for not using it as the case beer! Anyway, I'll make sure I get a few bottles of it to the organisers!

 

[beer slayer]

Thanks Linz for dropping the cases of sorry I missed you. Thanks again to all for another smoothe transitation.
I have all the cases at my place ready to be picked up for the southern guys just P/M to arrange P/U or let me know if you get stuck I may be able to drop them off.

Cheers

Ho Ho Ho,

It's about time for someone to create the NSW Xmas 2006 Consumption thread. Oops, missed it, as it's already there.

Please note that the Seth Kmas Kase Weizen (#18 on your programme) has not been tested since bottling and is prob OK for consumption in a week. Will test one tonight and report (if my ISP has their act together - hence, no AHB this weekend just gone).

Seth out
