2014 Vic Christmas Case Swap

[technobabble66]

The Pale & Dark crystal plus the extra 3kg of Munich 2 were handed over to Mardoo today. So that part of the recipe should be covered, at least.

Warning: the 2 crystals were 2.755kg rather than 2.74kg.
So you might need to adjust the recipe. I know how anal Yob & his thumb are with recipes...

 

[Yob]

My thumb, Sir, is a highly tuned instrument.. But is only on call this brew session, it's idzy's thumb in action this time round

 

[poggor]

idzy- I have 10kg of pale malt for the brew but it may be near impossible for me to get there on friday night (i will be stuck at work i think). i can come early on saturday but it will need to be milled. what do you suggest

 

[djar007]

Just bottled my swap beers. I feel so much better. Nice work idzy. Coming together nicely.

 

[Mayor of Mildura]

You guys are very organised. Looks like everything is shaping up for a good day. I've got a few kegs ready. Including an experimentale that has been in a wine barrel for a year or so. This will be the first time it has been drunk so I'll whack a warning label on it as I have no idea if it is any good.

 

[Yob]

Kegging my day beer tonight.. It's sister is lovely so Im expecting it to go down well :icon_drool2:

 

[manticle]

I still don't know if I can get there and if I can, whether I can bring hb. Would never rock up empty handed but might be commercial if I make it.
What was the upshot on glasses? BYO?

 

[Yob]

Yeah was, I'll have a few spares in the yob mobile

 

[idzy]

Fez, if you could knock up an ss one that would be awesome. Probably about 500mm. Happy to give ya some cash for it. Just sms'd my mate about it too

 

[djar007]

I have a keg to share but not the plumbing. Would I be able to slot it into someone's magic or do I need to finally sorted out my party situation.

 

[micbrew]

hmmm im in the same boat ... I think I read martin was bringing his magic box h34r:

Hi Djar, I can't make it on Saturday, but you can borrow my portable set-up if you want: neoprene parker for keg, mini-reg and gas bottle, and flow-control tap rigged for ball lock keg. Let me know if it would help.

EDIT: or I do have a two tap miracle box, which personally ***** me to tears. Works great if beer is being delivered at a good rate, but can foam if going slow. Also on offer.

 

[djar007]

Very generous offer black n tan. I would like to take you up on that. Thanks very much. Will pm you. Regards dave

 

[MartinOC]

I've got a double-header magic box (ball-lock)& you're welcome to a tap....if I can dig the ******* thing out of the back of the shed.

Right now, I can't even see my brewing equipment for my partner's "improvised" wardrobe strung between my "naughty-corner" (brewery) shelving!!

EDIT: Just read the responses. Micbrew & djar007 have 1st-dib's on my Magioc-Box taps (liquid rental will be charged, of course!!) :chug:

 

[Yob]

Oi!!.. everyone forgets old scarface now.. -_-

Oh well, I'll bring the full party setup gear then

 

[Yob]

Voting done today.. booyahhh

Ive started to gather all the bits and pieces for the day so Im not running round like a madman on Friday.. dayuuum

still need to flush HEX and starsan the **** out of everything.. work out how the hell Im fitting everything in the car... get ribs... er.. cook ribs..

***** gettin real

 

[djar007]

I have a trailer I can bring across. If you need. It can be covered and used as a lock up later in the night.

 

[MartinOC]

Ah! Erm...sorry, Yob, yes. I didn't realise you were placing dibs on using the box before, more the "other" thing we talked about...

I hereby, sheepishly rescind the previous offers to Micbrew & djar007 (I plead forgetfulness & stupidity, your Honour...& other things going on in MartinOC-land right now).

****! What a fortnight it's been......I'm really looking-forward to a day of "me" time next weekend.

BTW, I'll provide the Magic Box & a gas bottle (only one connection available).

 

[Yob]

Na, it's no problem, I know mines dust free I'll bring it anyway

 

[MartinOC]

Na, it's no problem, I know mines dust free I'll bring it anyway

You're an absolute **** sometimes (in the nicest possible way.... ). How did you KNOW about the dust????

OK, then, previously rescinded offer to micbrew & djar007 rescinded & reinstated (gas bottle caveat notwithstanding). You guys will just have to juggle the gas requirements between you,
