2014 Vic Christmas Case Swap

[Nullnvoid]

Also just as a point of note, for Victorians the state election is on that day, so everyone will make sure they have voted....maybe we could organise a polling booth ad idzy's house

 

[Yob]

crap.. hadnt considered that, nice one

 

[micbrew]

postal vote :super:

 

[manticle]

Anyone have any recommendations on brew that need little conditioning and are best drunk "fresh

Dark mild, ordinary bitter, apa/summer ale/golden ale, hefe.

 

[Mardoo]

Doesn't have to be ready on the day Siborg. It's awesome if it is. Besides, I want company cuz mine won't be

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I reckon most of us drink them over a few weeks it not longer - so nobody cares if it needs a bit of conditioning time.

Chances are mine will be in that category - its brewed and in a cube waiting for its turn in the fermentation fridge. Which I hope will be free this weekend.

My rye IPA got a 2g/ltr dry hop of cascade last night probably bottle next week.

Once I've gained some more champagne bottles..

 

[MartinOC]

Hickory? Other wood?

During my "purge & transfer" to Kinglake, I've just discovered a half-bag of (small) Hickory chips & also a bag of ex- Jack Daniels bourbon cask chips. Perhaps 1.5-2Kg all-up?

They're old, but you're welcome to them (perhaps in conjunction with newer stuff?) & I can't see them having gone "off".

Pitmeister Mardoo, I defer to your inestimable experience in all-things "smokable".... h34r: :huh:

 

[Mardoo]

As opposed to smoker-able??? Damn I miss my smoker!

 

[MartinOC]

Sorry....Freudian slip....

[idzy]

Should be a polling booth at the end of the street hopefully. Will get some details.

 

[Siborg]

Dark mild, ordinary bitter, apa/summer ale/golden ale, hefe.

Cheers. Should be able to knock one of those over. Was thinking it's been a while since I've brewed a hefe and, from memory, hefe yeast is pretty aggressive.

 

[Mardoo]

Should be a polling booth at the end of the street hopefully. Will get some details.

If they have a sausage sizzle we won't need the spit

By the way big thanks to JB, GrumpyPaul and MidnightBrew for helping get the meat for the spit underway!

 

[Grainer]

Also just build a 100L mash tun if we need it

 

[Yob]

What fittings mate?

 

[Grainer]

camlock

 

[poggor]

[DJ_L3ThAL]

My Saison has gone from 1.054 to 1.002 in 11 days, wow was 2 packs belle saison rehydrated. Tastes so peppery I think I could sprinkle it on my vegies haha

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Pitched my swap beer today - Red IPA.

There will be a change of plans on the dry hops.

Twas meant to be Citra - but I'm all out. Looks like it might be Amarillo, Nelson or maybe even Wai iti.
