2014 Vic Xmas in July case swap

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Shite, backup beers? I did not plan for that LOL. Was concerned my lager hadn't finished fully (1.016), but gave it plenty of time, heat and agitating to conclude it was likely non-fermentables from upping the un-roasted chestnuts... have bottled and stored "safe" to carbonate, all goes well will allow a month and a half for lagering and confirmation that it tastes as good as it did out of the FV!!!

Might see if I can whip up a backup beer this long weekend just to be safe!

 

[SimoB]

Dam wish I could participate! Is it too late? Actually don't think I cab get a brew down in time. Really need a bigger fridge

come as a non swapper and/or put your name on the reserve list mate

 

[Yob]

So I have some English Liquid yeast that's just out of date.. (WLP002)

is there any interest in me spinning up 10 or 15 vials of it? I could easily do a few starters and get some vials happening and freeze them until the day if anyone is keen?

Yeast swap? Ive got quite a number I can swap, WY1217, WLP001, WLP090, WLP099, *Greenbelt.. er.. WY1272 I think...

*pretty much a house strain now, cultured and banked the 2nd and 3rd uses of this yeast

 

[Damn]

How will that go in the dry stout getting brewed? If its a good match put me down for enough for the cube.

 

[Yob]

pretty good I rekon.. >LINKY< (WLP002)

"A classic ESB strain from one of England's largest independent breweries. This yeast is best suited for English style ales including milds, bitters, porters, and English style stouts. This yeast will leave a beer very clear, and will leave some residual sweetness."

I'd have to check but I may also have one of >THESE< in there as well.. (WLP023)

"From the famous brewing town of Burton upon Trent, England, this yeast is packed with character. It provides delicious subtle fruity flavors like apple, clover honey and pear. Great for all English styles, IPA's, bitters, and pales. Excellent in porters and stouts."

Possible options, will check tonight.

 

[Damn]

Jeepers, they both read bloody good. I'd love to spilt my cube and compare. WLP023 does sound tasty, but I'm a simple man with a simple palette. I'd probably struggle to notice the difference in a beer like a stout. I'll be guided yourself and the other experts.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

I'm down for those yeasts! I dont have a very impressive bank though and I only mildly rinse and refrigerate.

 

[Mardoo]

Yob I'm pretty sure you gave me a vial of the WL026 which I'm happy to grow up for the swap if folks want some. I won't be freezing but just giving out slurry in sterile water.

 

[Yob]

Sweet, please do mardoo, great stuff

 

[Mardoo]

Will do. Not sure how much I'll end up with but I'll try to have enough for all the cubers.

 

[Yob]

I think it was the 023 Burton I gave you, I'll get the 002 spinning over the weekend

if people are interested in the swap, I can make some starters from my yeasts as well. I will have WLP 004,002,007 and 001 possible have WY 3944 as well.
Might not bring them all along as I only have a couple of starter vessels. If I am really organised I can make some starters and transfer them to jars for people.

 

[Yob]

Ooh ooh... 004 and 007

Booyah!!

 

[SimoB]

Sounds good, on phone so can't add myself to the non swap list but I'll get to it. I may be able to bring some yeast. I'll try my best to harvest and bring some jars from coming up brew

OK guys, I've decided I'm not up to taking on the spit roast for a number of reasons. Anyone want to do one? From the food PM going around it sounds like we'll come up with plenty of food if no one wants to. Cocko, By the sound of it you might be up to "taking" a spit roast? Yes? h34r:

I can probably provide enough oak wine barrel staves for a wood-fired spit if that's of interest. Not 100% sure, but very likely.

 

[carpedaym]
