Cheers for popping around to have a look tonight Tyler! :icon_cheers:

So Tyler will work out a price over the next day or two for me.

My girlfriend of 8 years (who thinks i should hurry up an get her a ring!) is concerned that im going to have 25+ drunk bogans here!? So im trying to convince her that you are all good people and will not be any trouble!? I need you all to help her belive me! Will any of you be bringing your wifes/Girlfriends along?

Right now its 50/50 after power is conected its ON! just have to twist her arm! ;)

Mrs Hatchy isn't sure if she'll come due to study commitments but she definately loved having everyone here for the last one. She is a beer drinking bogan though.

With a couple of exceptions these guys are more geek than bogan. Even us bogans have got some geek about us. Can you get her to the Wheaty for locals night next week to meet some of the geeky bogan brewers?

Edited to add the quote for the second page in a row.

Easy mate. We'll have it up and running next Wednesday on my RDO. Twist SWMBO's arm, then brew your swap beer poste haste :beerbang:
 
Hatchy, Cheers mate! My SWMBO (what does that stand for?) Likes a good beer!....she even told coopers there clear was crap! And she likes beer with FLAVOUR! On ther FB page when it was released! Haha! I was just asking if there was any girle comming so she would have someone to talk to "not that she is much of a girly girl anyway.....she can beat me in a arm wrestle...LOL! Not sure if i should be telling you all that!? :drinks:

I dont want to get everone to excited yet.....lets sit back untill the power is on....then we can smile! Are all OK with Ridgehaven? Its about 2 mins from TTP.

Obeyed

And dont we all know it...

Locals night hey... Haven't been to the Wheaty in ages, might see if Desiree wants in, and we'll see what we can do
 
Grain ordered for my base swap beer, it's a version of my Hoppy Red Ale (American Amber) known over Christmas as "Santa's Secret Stash". Should be perfect for Autumn. :beer:

Anyone got any long necks I can use?

Hey Josh

It's all about how you pitch it. If you tell swmbo "a bunch of no good beer swilling bogans is coming around" then understandably she might be a bit hesitant.

However if you say " a group of fit charming gentlemen are coming around for a beer appreciation day. It will be like a manpower meeting without Jamie Durie" then she might be more inclined to go for it.

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
 
On my phone so multiple quotes are a PITA.

Who would say that coopers clear is crap? I'm disgusted!

Locals night is Wednesday 6-8.

I've got longnecks for anyone who needs some.

I wouldn't recommend outright lying to her but everyone was very well behaved at my place & even more so when you consider the amount of beer that was drunk. If she's a beer lover then it may be worth mentioning that there were 13 beers on tap at the last one. Most pubs don't have that many taps.

Sounds good to me, I might even be able to stumble home. I don't remember it being that far to your place when I picked up the cascade rhizome.
 
I'll hopefully be going. I'm not sure I really count though - I'm not particularly girly and bat for the same team as the fellas, so to speak.

I don't think I have enough beers for a swap - but I'll be bringing some of my bragot that I can hopefully get some feedback on. Only lightly hopped though. I'm not a fan of really hoppy beers so it sounds like a good thing I won't be in this swap.
 
Hey everyone!

So i now have power in my manland! A BIG thanks to Nevalicious for hooking that up!

So if everyone is happy with Ridgehaven and we dont have a better place to do the swap? The SWMBO and myself are happy to have it here!

If everyone is ok with the location Ill Pm my address out to the swappers and to those who have already showed intrest in attending as non swappers.

Cheers.

I'd personally do it a little closer to the swap mate as you'll find people will pull out in the last few days... Just a thought.

Location works for me... I'll walk stumble to my folks house up the road at the end of the night! :beerbang:
 
Ok Thanks....

Then ill send my addy out to people a week before the swap. :)
 
I'm pretty sure Nev said last night that he's happy to drive around & pick everyone up because he knows where you live. That's my recollection anyway.

What do you need us to bring mate? I'm guessing you don't have a fridge in yr shed if there was no power until yesterday. I've got a fridge that's pretty light if someone with a van (Phil) or ute (Raven) wants to take it up there & bring it back. It should fit 5 kegs & a few bottles in easily enough.

I assume it would be appreciated if everyone brings a chair & glass, as well as heaps of beer & food?
 
I have a Keg fridge, it only has one tap on it atm, might have two by case swap, So anyone that is known for making awsome beer and is willing to share, they are welcome to hook there kegs up to that fridge. Hatchy your fridge is also welcome!

Yes food would be good! :)

My SWMBO is a retired chef, (now "works" for the gov) with international experience specialising in pastry (Desserts) So maybe i can bribe her to make somthing! :)

And its not a shed its a rumpus room! Just ask Nevalicious! ;)

True that! I see it has potential to be a brew room, rumpus room and man cave. Life as i see it...
 
I assume I won't be alone in bringing a picnic tap or 2 so if you only have 1 mounted tap then it's not a problem. We'll find a way to get the beer out of the kegs. I reckon Raven will have cricket during the day so I'll have a chat with Phil about moving my fridge unless someone else has a vehicle that can move a fridge.
 
My little chesty is pretty mobile, 4 kegs, 3 taps + a picnic tap. Should be able to get that up there easily enough.

Nige
 
My ute should be available, only have cricket for 3 more weeks I think... so 26th March is a goer all day for me.

I have 3 party taps, and I plan on bringing 2 kegs, NEITHER of which will be a corona clone - much to Hatchy's disappointment.
