2015 Vic Christmas in July Case Swap

[kcurnow]

Hi Technobabble66, I may very well take up the offer of a lift up and back as I am in a similar position to yourself and should be able to get myself to and from Reservoir. Cheers, Karl

Stu! Mate! I'm HORRIBLY disappointed! I already have "a piece of wood" with your name on it!! h34r: (for burning, of course.....).

What's stopping you preparing something for later consumption, or even a knock-out mild?

Go on...you KNOW you want to....

Hey Martin, thanks and sorry to disappoint!! I'll still be there for most of the day at least - I'm keen to see your new estate!
I guess I still have time to possibly squeeze in a brew for the swap. I just felt bad that that I might not be able to make it and I was taking the spot of someone else who might be interested in swapping. I was reluctant to stick with it with the fair likelihood I'd drop out at the last second rather than give someone a bit more notice now that they could join the swapping shenanigans.

Tbh, I've got a theakstons old peculier clone in the FV now that might've been a swap, however the fermentation has gone a bit pearshaped and I also didn't get to bottle before my o/s trip - so it's been in the FV for 8 weeks. No, I don't ferment in blingy steel or glass; nice permeable placky for me.
The MJ Dark Ale, of guesstimated attenuation of 65-70% (thanks for no data, MJ!!), managed to drop it several points lower than expected (1.010 rather than 1.016) such that I've had to assume I've cocked up my mash somehow and mashed at 61*c rather than the 67*c I thought I did, otherwise the "Mild" yeast had an attenuation of 85%. So what is designed to be 6% is now close to 7.5%. Basically I thought it might be embarrassing compared to the impressive offerings fronted by the other swappers so I now need to crank out a new beer in the next 2 weeks or drop out. Actually tastes rather yummy out of the FV but I think I'm catching a little alcohol in it so I fear it's out of balance.

I s'pose I can stick with my swap spot and see how I go, just put everyone on notice that I may still drop out. Anyone who's keen can put their name on a reserved list whereby there's a very good chance they'll be taking my spot...
Whatcha think?

Not really, just my swap brews and a cube at this point.

[micbrew]

looks like I wont get a beer up for the swap , as my beer making equipment has failed
I was spot 20 ... couldn't find the reserve list ...apologies ...hopefully this will be filled quickly
thx mick



1. Idzy - "The Repeat Offender" Rye IPA (Pitched at 22c, cold crashed after 1 day, ramped back up to 19c and whirlpooled, awaiting prim/sec/cc)
2. DJ_L3tHAL - American IPA
3. Yob
4. Nullnvoid
5. Brewnut - Jaggery IPA
6. GrumpyPaul
7. mofox1
8. Tahoose
9. Curly79
10. Midnight Brew - The Explorer (Dark Ale III)
11.
12. MartinOC - Dunkeldoppelweizenbock (I've never made one, but I tempted Mardoo with the prospect, so I guess I'm committed..). However, current ambient temperatures up here are more conducive to lager fermentation & it's just gonna get colder.....
13. Whiteferret
14. Grainer - Californian White IPA
15. Droid - 20minute APA or urquell lager (whichever tastes better)
16. Black n Tan- 'Event Horizon' RIS (11.2% ABV, bottled 1/3/15)- the event horizon is the region from which there is no escape from a Black Hole.
17. AJ80 - Fake blonde? Nope, fake Brett
18. Husky
19. JB
20.
21. Navarau
22. Damn - American Brown in damn PET bottles with 250g + hops
23. Bumma
24. poggor

 

[MartinOC]

Mick, you're still going to turn-up for the Shenanigins & cube of Bummock 'though, yeah??

8. Tahoose
9. Curly79
10. Midnight Brew - The Explorer (Dark Ale III)
11. Technobabble66 (Don't think I didn't notice this sneaky empty spot! I expect a full-on effort from you in the next few weeks, Sir!)
12. MartinOC - Gonna have to change the planned swap beer from the Dunkeldoppelweizenbock (simply can't get it done in time) to something else I've got on-hand. Yeasts just don't fire-up on the stir-plate quickly at these temperatures. It's a long & sordid story....
14. Grainer - Californian White IPA

20. VACANT SPOT - Jump-on it!
21. Navarau
22. Damn - American Brown in damn PET bottles with 250g + hops
23. Bumma
24. poggor

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Martin do you have a heat belt? If so pop around your flask with your temp controller, did that recently and had awesome results! In fact it was the starter for the AIPA I'm swapping

 

[technobabble66]

Thanks for putting me back in Martin. (i think :unsure: :lol: )
I guess i'll see how it goes; and if anyone else pops up who's wants to swap they're welcome to my spot (after #20 is filled).

Hey, i've still got my cube of brown ale from last swap ... maybe i can chuck that in with some Belgian yeast and see how it goes ... or maybe a lager yeast at these current temps. I probably should've bought that heat pad on eBay *before* i went on holiday... <_<

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I hate to say it too.

Things arent looking promising for me.

Nothing brewed yet either. Havent even worked out if Im free on hte day or submitted application for a leave pass.

 

[Yob]

Get on it GP

I might need a hand with a trailer full of malt

 

[Nullnvoid]

It's not too late to get something done. I'm hoping to be able to get something down on Friday night. Won't be ready to drink in time but we can't drink all the beers at once . Good to stagger some of them

Well that's how I justify it in my mind
