2014 Vic Xmas in July case swap

[idzy]

Very rough plan, rough tape measure of space

Rough Plan.jpg

Thanks Yob that helps.

The kettle is going to be on a square metal frame with side rails and will need a little bit more room I would say. The details of my plans for the metal work can be seen in this picture below with an indication of the operating heights.



Cheers,
Idzy

Lucky its a VIC thread...

 

[Cocko]

YAY!

Idzy is back! :beerbang:

Looking a little skinny but he is back!

I have no other in put.

 

[idzy]

Haha, lost about 120kgs and 3 inches.

EDIT: Just some rationale around the design. I have left space for burner and tap work underneath, bringing the total height up somewhat. The operating platform is to provide support to lean on something cold whilst stirring, whirlpooling or adding additions.

I hope it makes sense.

My beer is bottled and I had a few last night (tasted pretty good): "The Witches Cauldron" American Imperial Red Ale (partial stein beer). I brew in a Braumeister and removed 10L of the 50L and added hot granite rocks to caramelise the wort (stein beer). I had a few Westgate Brewers over for the brew day and someone made the comment about a witches cauldron, hence the name.

If it does SHiat ... I will change it to a chocolate coffee stout.. see what happens..

At a guess this far out, I'd say we'll only need the kettle and stand + the MT, plan at this point is to run 2 MT side by side and pump to the boil kettle If you know what I mean, by the time we add another 44 gal hlt, space will be tight but usable, pop over sometime and we'll have a look at the space and I'll show you what I'm thinking

Braumeister Yob 'n' stein,

Whilst I remember, the "C" section (PFC) lengths I found at the new block are roughly 3.5-4m long & 25-30cm wide, by 8cm deep (eyeball guestimate).

Any use to you?

 

[slcmorro]

Because I'm a lazy late comer and CBF trawling through 16 pages (shoot me!) can anyone tell me if a location has been decided on? If so, where is it?

 

[manticle]

Ringwood. Yob's place.

 

[Cocko]

Hey Guys,

It is with regret but the reason counter acts it, just a little... I will no longer be swapping but will be attending the day and drag a keg along for all to enjoy!

SWMBO just pulled a surprise OS trip on me that is for 4 weeks, all of June, ******* blown away!! Anyway, with our current commitments and missing 4 weeks in the middle, I cannot allocate time to brew/bottle/age in time - only option is it being in the FV for 4 weeks, which I am not going to risk, no CC'ing time and a not ready to drink submission.

So in short, out of the 'swap' but still in for the day and will bring a keg along... and maybe even wear pants.

I have just struck myself off, hehe, so I guess the 1st reserve steps up?

Relaxed Brewer? You in?

Does this mean I don't get to see up Cocko's sKIrT

Not at all, mate.

There will be viewings on the hour, each hour from 8 to 11... I will reserve you a seat.

Ugh! I'm getting such strong visuals right now.... :unsure:

The Horror.......The Horror!.... :wacko:

 

[Cocko]

Moc, I have booked you in to the 10 viewing...

Seat A2.

You will be mainly looking the left but it will be bald... and almost polished... like a shiny egg.

On a more serious note, does RB [relaxed brewer] step into my place for the swap? feel bad for retracting but just wanna know it is back in line?

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

No black wit oh noooes! But sounds like sweet new plans mate!!!

 

[Camo6]

feel bad for retracting but just wanna know it is back in line?

I'm sure it's not the first time you've felt bad for retracting a bit early, yeah?

Well done to SWMBO for springing that on you. I remember when my wifey used to spring surprise weekends away at B&B's, or impromptu dinners in fancy restaurants, and even the odd late night romp...then...came...the...kids. :mellow:

 

[Cocko]

Yep, the planned bottle was my black wit - which is a wit but black in colour, not like the modern trend of black IPA's which are Hoppy stouts... IMO...

Anyway, I will be there on the day, keg in hand and what is in the keg may still be 'interesting'.. I am thinking APA! - AYE! Cop a bit of APA up ya!
