2013 Melb Xmas Case Swap

[GrumpyPaul]

Turns out the swap day is the same day as my sons wedding...

Probably best that i go to the wedding

 

[technobabble66]

Erm... the swap day is the 14/12/13 isn't it? (post #87)

GP, your previous post mentioned your son's wedding on the 7/12/13.
Have you (or I) got your weekends mixed up?

 

[djar007]

Its the 14th. I am going to have to get a final on the numbers for the cubes by the end of this week. Sunday night will be the close so we can start organising gear and grains etc. Hope you can make it Grumpy but if not thats understandable.
Regards Dave

I brewed on the weekend with my new system. I ended up making ~120L of 49 gravity wort on it. Some of my hose connections have still not arrived, so I brewed without the use of the pump. Had to use a combination of gravity and my 22Lt pot to transfer liquids around. We can use this system if people want for the brew.

It is a very basic system at the moment. 200L kettle, 130L mash tun (esky) and a 50L HLT I use for sparging. I have a powerful gas burner and a over the side electric element. I have not setup up any fancy herms or temperature control yet.

I should have the bits needed for the pump to be operational before the swap day.

Anyway the offer if there if no better solution is available.

Cheers
RB

Sounds great relaxedbrewer. I would be very thankful if you could bring it along. With what I have here and your system then we can fill all the cubes. I will post up in the morning the final volume to fill all the cubes and will scale the Pliny recipe to that so we can sort out who wants to bring what. Sorry if its been a bit slow but my broken wrist and the meds and the whole not being able to move with a broken wing have kept me as busy as a one armed taxi drive with crabs. Still a bit of time so all will align.

Equipment: relaxedbrewer : 110-120litre system(massive thanks)
djar007: odds and ends will be able to cover the rest.
Anyone else wanting to bring along any equipment is welcome to. If we are going to use the chiller as suggested for the recipe thats fine. I will try to have all the water boiled ,hopefully filtered and stored ready for the day. Just need to setup my filter at the new place.



Not many swappers so I am not sure if we go ahead in this situation or just leave it until people are a little closer to time. See what happens in a couple of weeks. Working on scaling the recipe now. Can you guys put names down of who wants to stay over so I can work out some sort of bedding.

I'm still a decent chance to swap. Happy to miss out on a cube given their popularity.

Taken myself off the Cube list just in case I cant make it. getting ready to sell our house and weekends are about to disappear.

 

[lmccrone]

I'll be making my way back to ascot vale so no need to make room for me to stay.

I have a 3 vessel system made from keg's, if we think any of my gear will be useful just say the word.

Cheers

 

[RelaxedBrewer]

My system only uses a 50L keg to hold the sparge water. If we want to sparge with more than 50L someone else will need to bring along another vessel.

 

[JDW81]

I'll be swapping, but not staying.

Not going to be able to attend the day but if the swap goes forward Id still like to put a beer up hoping someone from the east will be able to collect my beers for me.

 

[Yob]

Did you want me to take yours along middaybrew?

(assuming I get the leave pass)

I've just entered the bulk buy so can drop off for sure now and stop by for a bit but any chance if they arnt ready for swapping straight away I could get you to bring them back for me?

 

[vittorio]

i wouldn't mind sacrificing some stubbies for xmas, count me in

 

[RelaxedBrewer]

I think we need start to sort out a recipe soon and organise what people are going to contribute.
I think the bulk buy grain pick up is the same day so it would be pretty easy to get the grain with that.

Are we locked in on the Feral Hop Hog Clone?

 

[Yob]

I thought it was pliny the elder?
