2013 W.A. Xmas Case Swap

[sinkas]

Hope it goes well,
pity there is so little interest in this kind of thing these days,
I am in a very small (5 brewers) swap ( actually happening today) with Pistol patch over at biabrewer, I have made a AIPA, , half fermented with Brett C, and half with Sand Diego super yeast,

 

[jyo]

Any more brewers wanting to jump on board? C'mon! I'll be brewing mine this weekend.

After inspecting the venue, it is in the best interest of all attending to buy a pair of crampons to tackle the slope up to the man cave.


Or a pair of black desert boots at the very least.

Alas I will be selling mine soon to make inroads to my more water orientated pursuits.

Well, brewing XXXX this arvo. First time I've ever used the cheapo 'Pale Malt', I usually use pils or floor pils for everything. Still got some POR and Cluster flowers at least. But if it sucks, blame jyo.

Did you lose a few bolts or is the fairing just photo bombing.

The immense speed tends to throw the bolts.

Looks like I might be pulling out of the actual swap but can still attend the social component. Will know if I don't get time this weekend to brew. Things always seem to get hectic around this time of year. But given the absolute ***** I dished up last year your taste buds might be greatful.

 

[BambisBrewingBeer]

I'm keen!!!
Life has been too crazy busy for the internets over the last few months to know about this earlier. But I have a wheat beer I'm about to keg and I have just put another in the fermenter, I should hopefully be smashing out my Christmas brew this weekend as well.

I should have something half descent by the 14th... hopefully. :unsure:

He was just going to go to mellvile markets until someone mentioned on wa brew crew about the brew day on the same day so might be keen.

 

[Neanderthal]

ive got the "better red than dead" in the fermenter about 7 days off kegging (not for the case swap though). Its tasting pretty nice this far

 

[Neanderthal]

Thats a good brew, just finished a keg of it.

I hate it when a good brew blows.

Maybe he just misses you? Oh well you'll just have to sell up and move back to Bassendean.......

 

[krausenhaus]

Okay so what are we all brewing? Only just realised the date and we'll have to do a midweek brew to knock ours out. Don't know that we'll get time to do another one for a keg beer, but might have something left to bring.

Also, what about food?

 

[jyo]

I'll be bottling an ESB with a slightly high finishing gravity during the week. Tastes pretty good so far.

I could bring a potato salad (and actually put it on the table)

Nev, you should make that chilli tofu (I think that's what is was) again. That was awesome!

Also a reminder for all swappers to bring an extra bottle for the host

I believe I've convinced Nev to spare us some bottles out of the 100L of Vienna he has lying around.. tight bastard.

As for food I was thinking of simple BBQ fare with some crackers/cheese etc plus whatever people want to bring.

 

[jyo]

Sounds good, mate. So he's not making a raddler now? Spewing.

 

[Online Brewing Supplies]

I am going to pull out too, I have had a look at my run up to Christmas and I only have one weekend free.
It s crazy time of the year for me. Have fun, maybe next year will be better.
