2006 Nsw Xmas Case (december)

[DrewCarey82]

No. You need larger caps and a different bell for your capper.

Well you can put me down as one of those that want standard 750-800ml longies only.

Thanks for the info.

 

[Barramundi]

Put me down for any champers bottles that were destined for Drew

740mL... i've bought enough of them to know, all the boxes say "15x740mL bottles". Not sure what the exact capacity excluding headspace is though. Under the required 750mL anyway even if they were glass.

I've lined up a few 800mL's from a mate so hopefully i should be alright, i lose my collection of Cooper's longnecks but at least i get them back

If i do manage to find a bottle supplier that can do 750mL+ glass bottles i'll let everybody know. Until then, get cosy with your local watering hole and ask them about empties. :beer:

Hey all,
I'm back online after a few months without the net at home. And work blocks any sites that look remotely fun.

Anyway, thanks for putting my name down Duff, and I'll be thinking of what to brew soon.

Cheers, Rob.

I have decided to change my beer name to "Mongrel Ale". Highly non-specific, but that's kind of the point. The recipe changes on almost a daily basis!

[kungy]

This is a tad weird, considering in the very last reply i was in for the case.

But i think my spot would be more appreciated by one of the stand by's. So first on the list can take my place if they want.

My motivation for churning out a batch on such a largish scale is a bit low at the moment. I think i'll keep the case to once a year.

Sorry fellas

Will

 

[Trent]

Sorry to see ya go, kungy, have enjoyed your contributions. Look forward to the next one then.
All the best
Trent

 

[Josh]

I don't think I was first reserve. but I'm happy to fill in if required.

 

[Duff]

Sorry to see you pull out Will, I've really enjoyed your beers over the last two cases.

Josh, thanks for your offer. I guess though to be fair to everyone who put their name down we should go in order who got in first. Going back over the thread the brewers who just missed out on the 28 and who got their names down went like this:

1. Tony
2. Barramundi
3. Oblomov
4. Josh
5. Redbeard

So in fairness, with Will pulling out, the spot opens up for Tony if he wishes to contribute. Tony, are you interested?

Also a reminder Xmas Craters, please label your contribution on the caps with the number only corresponding to your name. It makes sorting so much easier.

1. Duff
2. Stuster

It is disappointing to see guys miss out on these swaps. That's why I was thinking if we go ahead next July (and I'm sure everyone would be keen to go around again) that we all try and get together somewhere, whether it be in Sydney or the Hunter for a personal swap and all have a few beers together Saturday night, head home Sunday. That way we could then open it to all interested, meet each other, talk beer, etc. I'm sure with 6+ months notice and a venue we can all agree on, it will give us enough time to save some pennies if need be and get in first on our personal 2007 calenders.

Cheers.

Thats a rippa Duff ! :super:

 

[Tony]

I would love to but i dont think i will get a brew done for it.

I dont have enough of anything in bottles to send out so i will have to pass.

Maybe i will get to start brewing next year again.

Cheers

 

[T.D.]

What date do we have to have our entries ready by???

 

[mikem108]

Earlier in this thread use of Champagne bottles was getting a bashing. Is that the case? because I need to get this sorted, are champagne bottles out?

 

[DrewCarey82]

Is using champagne bottles really fair as not everyone has their capper set for this?

I know I'd prefer to get back 30 longnecks that I can re-use.

 

[Doc]

What date do we have to have our entries ready by???

Not sure if a date has been set yet, but last year I think it was the last weekend in Nov that all the entries needed to be at Duff's.
With a change of logistics this year, maybe that will go out by a week. Duff ?

Looking to brew my entry this weekend. Still swinging between a Saison or something hoppy. Decisions decisions.

Doc

 

[Stuster]

How about the saison, Doc.

Mine was brewed yesterday and is busy bubbling away now. I'll have to put a blowoff tube on it soon. 24L with the American wheat yeast will definitely be a bit much. :unsure:

Personally, I don't care either way on the champagne bottles. KoNG (?) used them before I think.

So, Barramundi's next in the queue. What do you think mate?
