Where's the case swap Nazi when you need him?

I'm here !!!

We need Retsamhsam to confirm some details about his place - his missus is due about now to have a baby so he may be preoccupied at the moment ! I was hoping to do a bit of a brew there for the sake of it so that's still on the cards. Again, more info as we get closer. Ret lives at Colyton and we will use the same park as last time as a fallback if his place becomes unavailable.

More details as we get them !

 

[barls]

ill check with the swimbo but i cant see any problem with falling back to my place if we have to. ill ask when she gets home.

OK guys, time has managed to get away from me with the new baby in june and all, but the 25 th is still good for me...

We probably should get a list giong as to who is bringing what. Gas will only be a problem if we end up doing a brew, as I only have the one bottle. My brewing equipment consists of a 60L stock pot and a 55L mash tun and I can generally squeeze out 40L of 1.050 wort at the most, so I'm not sure how many people will be able to take wort home, let me know what you guys want to do.

Acouple of things that spring to mind:

Meat
Salad
Glassware (I remember Fatz having some glassware which might be suitable). If not I can pick up some plastic cups, as long as people don't mind drinking out of plastic.
I have afew brews on tap at the moment but nothing that I am overly happy with, so if someone wants to bring a keg of something or if afew people want to bring some half kegs it would be good.
Bread rolls
Paper plates
Plastic cutlery

We will need to confirm how many people are attending to determine how much meat and salad we need. Feel free to add anything you can think of.

 

[barls]

ill be there. i think the easiest way with the meat is for everyone to bring a bit. im happy to bring the onion and a small keg of something.

 

[tdack]

There's about 21 on the list, I don't think everyone can make it though. Here's a bit of a list.

I'd be interested in watching/helping a proper AG batch get made and I'm more than happy to contribute whatever is required towards it. For me a specific recipe isn't that important, it's more about learning the techniques.

Garage should be good for it.. Someone will need to donate a BIAB bag to the cause though..

Bizier: I have a 100L pot with pickup & valve which I can fit my spiral & reg inside, I will check if I can get it there. Provided there is something to hang the bag from we can push it to a 70L-ish batch maybe. Maybe a low gravity beer mashed high?

Sounds like a good idea. I have a Rambo burner which would probably have enough grunt to get 90L boiling rapidly, but if you bring the burner along we could use my pot as a dedicated HLT (If we can't obtain a BIAB bag that is).

Bottled mine last night

Memories of why I bought a keg system came flooding back

Cheers

 

[Josh]

I won't be there, but I will leave a bottle of Ordinary Bitter and Belgian Pale Ale with Rets for tasting on the day.

 

[Muggus]

Looks like I won't be able to make it to the day this time around again lads, sporting commitments.
I'll throw in a few extra longies of random brews to fill up my 2 crates worth...i'm sure they'll find a good home.

Looking good for the swap. Seems like a few blokes can't make the day so they will organise someone to transport their beers for them. If anyone is struggling to find someone to do this, say now and organise early !

You Sydney blokes, anyone going anywhere near Petersham ? Left a sack with 9kg of grain at Pollux's place that I'd really appreciate someone collecting for me and taking to the swap. Anyone close to there ?
