2008 Sa Christmas In July Case Swap

[Adamt]

Mine got brewed on Friday, hit my efficiency but got 26L instead of 18L.. even after a 2 hour boil :S

I guess it's alright, more for me!

 

[mickoz]

Mine has been sitting in the keg for the last month.

Think I'll call it Goblin Rocket Fuel It has 11.3% ABV, the bad thing is you can't tell

Looking forward to that mate - used 25g of kiwi styrian flowers at flameout on the mild. Never used them before so keen to find out how it turns out. 22L leaves plenty of room for sampling........

4 hour mash....

Are you serious? What happened? :huh:

 

[drsmurto]

Are you serious? What happened? :huh:

Missed strike temp so faffed about with hot and cold water adjusting till i was around 4L/kg and still out. Had to drop sis off to bus stop but discovered buses dont run from Lobethal to city on the weekends :angry: so ended up driving her home (Bowden). And you think public transport in the city is pathetic......

4 hours later i added mash out water! Ended up with OG of 1.044 instead of 1.040 and with the extra litre of wort my efficiency went from 70 to 80%.

1187 is chewing on it now and will taste it constantly to see how it goes. Smelt and tasted good last night after 48 hours in the fermenter.

Efficiency up, that's a positive I guess. Wonder if the extra long mash allowed alpha amylase to do it's job thoroughly... maybe over-thoroughly :huh: ... perhaps you'll end up with a high attenuation despite using Ringwood?

Look forward to the tasting anyway!

Bottling my swap beer from the keg tonight. Just finished the washing and sanitising, about to fill the bottles. I do hope that there's enough left in the keg to finish them all, I haven't enough time to brew more if I run out.

Can all involved in the swap please check the wiki page to make sure the listing is up to date? :beer:

 

[Adamt]

Yesssssuh. I'm now up to date with yeast information! Hot damn, it's only a month away.

 

[Back Yard Brewer]

Hot damn, it's only a month away.

29 sleeps to be precise . Since this is my first case swap and the time is getting close could all those "attending" please advise me so as soon as possible. PM would be great :super: Also for those who want to bunk it there may be room for a few (three)

hmmm, looking at the wiki page, there's a few yeast strains i don't have (i've yet to even try a non-dried yeast). i'm definitly gonna have to get some slants ready.

 

[drsmurto]

Will be bottling mine after all (instead of kegging then bottling) so free samples of Wyeast 1187 Ringwood yeast for all! (2nd generation - assuming it starts at zero in the smackpack...)

Damn i love this yeast :beer:

I currently have some Bairds Medium Crystal, 20kg to spare to be exact. Looking at swapping some for the following if someone wants to:

Weyerman Carared
Roast Barley
Dark Crystal
Wheat Malt
Weyermann Carafa II
Weyerman Caramunich II

The case swap is here in a few weeks so someone may be able to link it in with that.

OK just a little over two weeks to go before the swap, so far I have seven attendee's for the swap.We have sixteen down for the swap. For those of you who are still deciding I do have room in the back yard for around four tents. If you arent conservative you may be able to share. As for what to bring, I have decided that I don't like washing glasses so if you can bring your favourite that would be great otherwise I can supply those disposible type beer cups. Bring along some nibbles, beer nuts go great with beer. I have a barby on hand or we can settle for pizza from the award winning pizzaria that is close by. If you have kids no problems I have a couple that need to be kept ammused. For those that are camping I was planning for an eggs and bacon recovery session next morning. Have spoken with Wayne from Beerbelly and we were thinking about an early start on the Saturday for an AG, undecided yet as what to make. So step up those who are down for the swap and I have not heard from. The Barossa is only around an hours drive to the Adelaide CBD so its not like going to Smiggins Holes

Can you post a confirmation list of the people in the swap and what beers they are bringing so that we can work out the number of stubbies/bottles we need to bring...

 

[homekegger1]

I am in, but won't be there till the evening. I have a proter in longnecks ready to go. Been bottled for sometime.

Cheers

[Adamt]

Latest list is in the Wiki, GMK. Link.

Looks like 15 is the magic number.

 

[domonsura]

Ohhhhhh yeah...it's getting close now...I can FEEL it. Mark out a spot in the back yard for the tent Andy. I'm looking forward to those bacon & eggs too mate, I'll have mine sunny side up. Where can we get hold of a whole leg of bacon up there? (There must be a good local butcher up there who smokes his own) Maybe we need to knock up some hollandaise to go with them, put a little extra fat into the gut to help the recovery... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
