2008 Hag Xmas Case Swap

[Weizguy]

Tony, I'll put an extra beer aside for ya whether you participate or not. Just turn up on the day, me boy.
You have a significant amount of pluck, and that should be rewarded.

Cheers
Les

 

[balconybrewer]

that coffee porter sounds awsome tony, would definatly love to sample it, i wont be able to make it on the actual swap day so heres hoping you include it as your swap beer.

cheers

PS (any update on numbers or i just assume we will get 28????)

 

[Offline]

I would aim for 28, if the number of swappers does not get that high you can either swap 2 or more beers with your favoured brewer or keep them yourself.

And if the extras are in stubbies, well thats up to you I guess.

Had a slight stuff up with my case swap brew, Ill wait to see how it turns out before making a decision. Lets just say my mild may not be so mild at 1.050

 

[Tony]

Thanks folks. My pluck has worn thin but still there. Dont plan on loosing it either. I dont like things getting in the way of progress.

Will aim for the Coffee Porter for the swap but if all else fails i have the Red ale....... bloody nice beer i must say.

like i said......... Die trying and if you go down......... go down fighting!

cheers

PS........ cant let my HAG palls down can I

There is a story of the coffee Porter in my blog thingy with pictures

Hi Guys,
Is it too late to join in? This sounds good. I am pretty new to brewing but should be able to put together a reasonable Euro Lager if there is a spot left?

[Brewman_]

Looking forward to the swap.

Silly question,
We are swapping longnecks?

Just kicked off the lager, (I know late) should have it bottled by the swap date but won't be quite ready for drinking on the day.
I was going to enter earlier but was not sure about getting the yeast I wanted, anyway got it a couple of days ago, so it's all on.

[Tony]

yeah all you need is 2 milk crates and enough 750ml longnecks to swap with everyone else.

cheers

 

[n00ch]

I said to myself I would put a tried and tested beer in this time but stuff it. My offering will be a Berliner Weisse.

To address balconybrewer's question I don't really see the need to finalise number when we are sub the 28. As Offline said just aim for the 28. A few extra hanging around never hurts.

Cheers

in, out, in , out, in..............
out for good!

 

[HarryB]

Are there any non-AHBers in this case swap?

I'm keen to know whether I have to have 28 in longnecks or whether i only need to bottle enough longnecks for the numbers on the list (I was thinking to bottle any "left overs" in stubbies/pint bottles).

 

[leeboy]

If numbers remained the same Harry you would only need 22 bottles. With only a 2 weeks till the swap I think your fairly safe to assume 22-24 bottles will cover it comfortably.
Regards
lee

 

[Punter]

I bottled 28 just in case and dropped them into Marks on Wed.
If theres not that many swappers, whoever wants, can take an extra,
or I'll gladly take the leftovers back.
