2009 Nsw Xmas In July Case Swap

[Insight]

I'm in the same boat guys, not looking for any wort from the day but happy to hang around for a couple hours. I presume there are some that will have more constraints on their time. FGZ, as Mr Nazi could you put together an itinerary with Ret for those that need to do the swap then bolt?

eg.

10am Brew kit arrives and assembled
10.30am dough in for those interested
11am swap takes place, all beers to be present
11.30am sparge
12pm lunch
12.30pm boil begins
etc.

Sounds good so far .. why improve on a perfect plan !

Don't panic too much about the cubes - we may set a few cubes aside to ferment as a "Case Swap July 2009" brew which we can consume at a future time.


Is there anyone who can't be at Ret's place in western Sydney by 11.00am ?

I'm away Friday but should be back Saturday morning, but I can't guarantee it.

I'll see if I can tee up a delivery during the week with RetsamHsam.

looks good rets, ive got some pilsner malt i can bring.

 

[tdack]

Holy Snapping Duck Shit Batman!!! 200 litres!!

I'd be happy if I could get my wee 10L cube filled.

Honestly, if there isn't enough interest in actually making a batch and everyone would rather drink the results, I'm perfectly happy with that. I only mentioned it as there was talk at the last swap of making a batch.

But if drinking is what the masses want, then I'll help there!

Cheers :icon_chickcheers:

Most of the talk at the last swap was a BIAB demonstration for those who haven't seen it and for the non-AG brewers to see how easily you can make the switch.

 

[barls]

how about a split batch with one being biab and the other being normal ag.
just a idea then we could compare the two at a later date.

sounds a reasonable plan if we can pull it off !

When too much wort is never enough !

That would be an interesting comparison.

[Bizier]

OK, so 2 brews with the same recipe & boil shedule?
Can I re-suggest cube additions if we are going an aromatic style?

 

[tdack]

Well, since I am interested in both the process and some of the results, please let me know what you would like me to contribute, $$ or grain or hops I'm happy to get any of them, just let me know what.

Thanks!

 

[Gulpa]

probably should look at using the same yeast as well. Something neutral like us05.

cheers
Andrew.

It looks like I'm out.....my wife & new baby ( :icon_chickcheers: ) could not wait until after the swap....they just don't understand

I have my swap ready to go and hopefully I can get one of Nth Beaches brewers to bring my crates along for the big swap.
