OK, you asked for it! I'll subject y'all to an experimental brew. Mwahahahaha! It won't be ready to drink, but it'll be in the bottle.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. As soon as I smelled the malt - while doing an inventory to see what I could make - I thought, in my most zombie-ish tone, "Brewwwws!"

Not cool dude... Your July swap was top notch! :D

Still gonna visit?
I do plan to come over on the day with a keg of course.

The American Red Ale I made for the last swap got 4th at Vicbrew, just 1.5 points shy of a place. Similarly the Hazelnut Brown I bought to the swap also got a 4th. Starting to spot a pattern here that I don't like one bit :unsure: . May be next year.

Gents, has anyone given any thought to food for the event? 'Need to pull our fingers out & get organised.

'Don't think we'll need the scale of food of the last one, since the weather is likely to be good. Simple spit-roast &/or BBQ bits with rolls & a few salads & sauces?

'Can't remember who sourced/provided what last time...

*happy to help with food and do some ribs or some such though

I reckon we should go with the "everybody bring something to eat" model.

Not sure how that would work with the equipment and recipe though...
 
I think the food worked really well last time. I will plan to try and arrange some stuff, but it would be great if we had a 'food team' like last time, so if anyone is keen to help out that would be awesome. Even simply putting your hand up to bring something along would be great, so at least we have a rough idea :)

Unfortunately, I can see that option devolving into everyone bringing a bag of twisties, or one bloke brings twisties & another rocks-up with a pot of Human-sacrifice-based stew :ph34r: .

Whilst I can appreciate the Marxist model (from each according to their means...etc..etc), I think we need something more organised. These things have a tendency to require/promote extended eating to soak-up the booze...

Sticking with the Marxist theorem, I suggest we pool resources between a few & charge a "per-head" amount & spread the love.

Any ideas other than the simple spit/BBQ with rolls & salads?

We need a "food-team".
 
If it all gets too complicated, (if never did get Marx Brother's humour let alone their theorums) you could just get a shitload of snags and bread and anyone standing around not looking busy gets to man the bbq.

It would be just like hanging outside Bunnings - but with beer.
