2013 W.A. Xmas Case Swap

[danestead]

Sorry guys I am also out. Something unexpected has come up that I cant really miss. Ill still be sending along a carton for the swap though.

 

[cdbrown]

Sorry for my lack of involvement in the swap this year, it's been a while since I've been active on here. Didn't realise I wasn't signed in as I was looking around so of course didn't know there was a pm about this thread. Unfortunately I won't have anything worth swapping and I need to do some repairs to my mill (i think a small rock got into the mill and it seized up) and my rig (HERMS pot is leaking and tripping the RCD) before I can brew again.

 

[krausenhaus]

Faarkin hell, dropping like flies!

Hate to say it, but the chances of brewing during this week while trying to smash out my final-year uni thesis are starting to look slim to none. Sorry guys.

Would anyone be interested in pushing it to early next year in the hope that with more notice and less busy times we can get a decent number happening? I feel like it might be in for more drop-outs to come as a few people on the list have been inactive since posting their names. I know it's a pretty ****** option for those that have already brewed though, as dent would have to drink 19L of XXXX, so understand if you lot still want to go ahead. We would probably still be able to turn up for beers in any event, just no swapping.

 

[dent]

I don't think moving the date will make a lot of difference. Perhaps we should simply change the nature of the event - beer distribution optional, and drink what comes on the day? (ie more drinkin than swappin).

 

[Bizier]

I am a professional drinker.

 

[jyo]

That sucks. Still, drinking, BBQ, sun, good laughs and mankinis are rad. I will still be swapping.

I'm happy with this suggestion if others are as well, I would rather keg than bottle my beer, I should be able to arrange 2 kegs.

So long as there is some "flavour country" for jyo, I'm sure he'll be happy.

Give it a rest Nev, we all know you have nothing better to do until you head off overseas again.

 

[jyo]

I was planning to bottle mine tomorrow night but I'll wait to see the number of people still swapping before I do. I bloody hate bottling.

And, yes, a pint of Flavour Country at the door will help sort out the amateurs, for sure! :icon_drool2:

 

[Spoonta]

Im for a bbq and drinks might be able to bring a keg

 

[O-beer-wan-kenobi]

Im still hoping to make it. If I cant I should be able to provide beers for the swap.
There is a possibility I will be working away the week before and the 14th so im still playing it by ear.

 

[mfeighan]

Where is it going to be at. Havent logged in for a while.
Gonna bring danes beers and either a pilsner or a brown which ever tastes worst umm i mean better

 

[dent]

My joint, Bellevue.

 

[Neanderthal]

Is this still going to be a case swap or just some beers etc.

I have bottled a ale so can bring to drink or swap.

 

[dent]

I think swapping is preferable if possible. All others welcome to come around to drink etc of course. Now seems a good time to work out how many brewers are participating in that.

1. dent- XXXX clone - yes
2. jyo- ESB - yes
3. krausenhaus - no
4. keifer33 - no
5. Mitch76 ???
6. Mikey ???
7. Spoonta ???
8. stormahead ???
9. Neanderthal - Irish Red Ale - yes
10. gillie - Cascade/Vienna smash - yes
11. Rad (Anthony) - ???
12. Bambisbrewingbeer - Wheat - yes
13. smurray - Porter - yes
14. Bizier - drinking?

So somewhere between 6 and 11 right now.

 

[jyo]

Yep, we need to get a final list ASAP.

I'm in.

 

[Spoonta]

I have an oz pale ale that I can bottle want be ready to drink till crise thouge

 

[RAD]

Yeah I'm still in what time does it start I'm going to bring a couple of bottles of each brew I have in the fridge. Might need to PM me the address.

 

[Mitchlj73]

I'm still in boys and girls.

I have 2 beers that I can bring along 1 for the swap and 1 in keg for the day.

I have an ESB and a German Pilsner, Dent what is your preference for kegged beer for the day?

Great.

FWIW I think pils survives better in a keg, ESB better in a bottle.

[Stormahead]

Can't be worse than last years effort. I'll do the swap with an English pale

 

[Neanderthal]

I have fair drive and beer would be unpourable. Ok to drop it off the day before?

It only a 9 l would there be room in a chiller or drop off in Engle to keep it chilled?

 

[dent]

Sure. There will be plenty of fridge space.

If it is a long way to do the trip twice though, we could stick it in the freezer for an hour or so on the day which would get it down enough for a decent pour.

 

[jyo]

Ok guys, gals and Bizier.

I think this is the list as it stands.

If you need to make any amendments just do it! I will be CPBF mine on the morning so I will be doing 12 bottles to bring along. Can't wait!

Please don't delete this post for being off topic

 

[jyo]

Ok, ready to rock and roll, peeps?

 

[keifer33]

Unfortunately wont be able to attend for too long but I am sure no-one will miss me

 

[dent]

I'll always miss you.

I hope everyone likes warm weather. Spoonta has been generous enough to lend us a nice big canopy to save us from the sun so that will help a lot.

 

[jyo]

Have you finished constructing the chair lift to take us back up to the shed, mate?


Board shorts and crampons are not very fashionable.
