2014 Vic Xmas in July case swap

[Siborg]

No probs. I might come down and, depending on what I have in stock, bring a keg. Possibly a milk stout or a Kolsch (if it clears in time).

Gotta clear this up with SWMBO for a lift from/to Doreen

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Siborgs comment about getting a lift from his SWMBO got me thinking.

Maybe we can get some car pooling happening.

So that got me thinking about tidying up the details and put it all in a spreadheet.

I dont seem to be able to put a table in a popst without losing all the formatting - so I have posted it as a pic and the excel table

What other info can you provide?

• Whats your swap beer?
• Are you bringing any food - if so what?
• Where are you coming from - and are you driving ( or getting driven)?

Post or send me your details and I will update the table below.

You can add me to the driving category. I will be taking a trailer too and sleeping the night (I believe in the bungalow or plan b a tent).

 

[AJ80]

Just updating my swap beer - had some issues transferring the stout off all those raspberries and the batch is likely well oxidised. As such, the brew is not at a standard I'm happy to share with you all. Good news is the other cube of stout from the batch is fermented out and has had a fair whack of cacao nibs added and will get some vanilla beans added for a day or two as well before bottling this weekend.

I am afraid that I have to pull out of the swap. SWMBO says that it's our anniversary so I have to spend the day with her. Looks Luke breakbeer gets my place...

 

[Yob]

Tell her she's invited, we need someone to clean the mash tuns

 

[breakbeer]

Holy shit, better get my brew on.

Shame you can't be there Kade, was lookin forward to a chat

Shame you can't be there Kade, was lookin forward to a chat

I'm upset because I wanted to catch up with a few of you and also wanted to see this monster brew!

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Updated the spreadsheet.

Any more details on the catering side of things?
Whats your swap beer?
Where are you coming from and are you driving/getting driven there? (ie can you pick someone up along the way)



View attachment swap planning.xlsx

Hang in there bench warmers....there is still a chance you will make the team. Reserve list is down to 3.

 

[Yob]

Catering is being driven in a pm circulating about and looks to be well in hand mate, can invite you in if you want?

 

[GrumpyPaul]

By all means invite me in.....
Do you want all the details in a spreadsheet/plan like this?

Or do I just have too much time on my hands at work and am exposing my inner geek/nerd procilivities towards a Excel and a strange fetish to put everything inot a spreadsheet?

 

[Yob]

the spreadsheet cant hurt mate, will invite you into the PM

 

[breakbeer]

Yeeeeah, I get to swap some beers. Stoked!

I'll be brewing a Chai Milk Stout for my swap beer, just waiting on delivery of the last few ingredients I need so may not get to brew it until the weekend after this one. Which means they may not be ready to drink on swap day, but a week or so afterwards.

First time I've ever brewed this beer, but wanted to do something different for my fellow brewers so I hope it turns out alright.

I'm gonna aim for 28 bottles, which is 24 for the swap, an extra for the host, one for me to sample & two to age & see how they go. That's 21L, which is a full cube with 2L of trub in the FV. Fingers crossed

:beerbang:

 

[Yob]

Dry Hopping my Swap beer today, preliminary tasting is good, back up beer will be pitched tmoz..

Not far off now peeps, better get to collecting some wood for the fire and getting the odd jobs sorted.

:kooi:

 

[Camo6]

I'll be dry hopping my back up beer soon as my original swap beer seemed a bit unbalanced to me. It was meant to be an English IPA but an early tasting lacked bitterness.
Hopefully a rye AIPA will save the day.

 

[MartinOC]

Yob, I've got access to as much firewood as you'll ever need. How much do you want & how big?

 

[micbrew]

Making hay when the sun shines ...

I to bottled my swap beer ... its all coming together quite nicely
thanks to JB for allowing me to use his brew rig to get this one done !

its gunna be EPIC

cheers mick

 

[Damn]

Bottled my English IPA 2 weeks ago and will test in 2 weeks. Made another version of this 3 months ago and fked up the hop additions still tastes bloody good to me. Really enjoying the malt flavour. So I'm expecting better. I've got a APA as a back up.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Mine was bottled the weekend before last.

So it will be well and truly ready to drink by swap day.

In fact it will be 2 months in the bottle - so it will have "aged' and "mellowed' nicely by then too
