2013 Melb Xmas Case Swap

[NealK]

I am local and keen to get involved but have no idea how these things work. I do biab and am very keen to see other ways of brewing.
I'm sorry if these are stupid questions, but here they are:
How many bottles are needed for the case swap?
Long necks or stubbies?
Can I help out with ingredients and come home with a full cube?

 

[Grainer]

24-28 long neck..hopefully tried and tested

 

[Grainer]

I would love a dark beer..porter or stout .. but I know summer in coming ... then Id be more fir a light honey wheat??/hefe or something similar..personal preference..

stout was done at the last swap... I thought we were going for the P.Elder Clone?

What was the date? The Melbourne Brewers club Christmas boozup gathering is around then... please dont make me choose

I only brew 10 litres of packaged beer per brew, would it be an issue if I contributed 2 different batches to the swap? Subject to SWMBO clearance of course, but I'd really like to head along.

The swap will be on the following Saturday. !4th of December Bum. Just broke my wrist teaching daughter to skate on Friday so I cant type much. I think two separate batches is fine pedlyr. I also think the Pliny is decided. Once we get numbers, we can scale the recipe to suit. I am now off work until the event so will be able to organise it a fair bit better. But typing will be slow.

 

[manticle]

Two batches of the same recipe?

 

[pedleyr]

Can do the same recipe if need be. I have reasonable consistency between batches but not perfect.

 

[djar007]

Is that ok manticle? Two of the same should be ok right?

 

[manticle]

I am local

Local?

Absolutely.

Two different ones is unconventional but any case swap rules should be up to the individual swappers to work out. Usually same beer so everyone can enjoy and critique the same thing but nothing to say it all needs to be done at once.

Putting your best foot forward is number one rule in my book.

Just broke my wrist teaching daughter what not to do on Friday....

FTFY

 

[bum]

Ive not tried this beer, I think Bum brewed it not long back so perhaps he has some insights?

Done it twice. Absolute cracker of a beer but one that needs chilling, IMO. I've brewed it twice - once with no-chill (altered to include cube hopping) and once with a plate chiller. Both were good but the chilled was the best beer I've made.

 

[DU99]

i am a late scratching guys..family function

 

[djar007]

No worries steve. But if you finish early your welcome to come by. Sure we will be still at it until late.

G'day All

Never been to one of these either but the chance to see some experienced brewers in action and taste some of their wares sounds too good to pass up, so count me in. I'd also like a cube of this fancy beer that's being put together if I'm not too late.

Sorry guys - I am going to have to pull out.

There is no way I am going to get a chance to brew something up in time.

I have my daughters wedding on 17/11 and then my sons wedding 3 weeks after that on 7/12.

At the moment all our spare time is tied up in planning and gettng ready for 2 weddings in a 3 week period.

At them moment brewing for the swap would be biting off more than I can chew.

Sorry...

Sad to hear, GP
Could you still attend but not do the swap part?
