*2015 WA Biggo Beer Case Swap*

[Online Brewing Supplies]

Looking for an expression of interest and ideas from the big beer brewers of WA to join in a case swap.
My initial thoughts are for the cooler months next year say August-September 2015, this will allow some good maturation time on the beers and allow any bottle bombs to be pre exploded.
I would like to keep it down to 12 brewers, no extract, no wannabies , just honest big beer brewers .
So 12 x 750 ml bottles to swap and 2 to bring on the day for tastings, gives 125ml taste of each beer on the day , thats 1.5l of Biggo per brewer :icon_drool2:
Thinking, put a tasting notes sheet together and score sheet and have a bit of a comp thing and give prize for the brewers favorite beer, nothing too complex just a score out of 10 ?
I will put the day on here in The Dean.
Forgot 8% ABV and over, or stay home .

What size bottles we talking Nev?

750ml which means you need to brew 10.5L finished, thats why I have kept the numbers down so its possible on most brewing systems.

They say that you can take the boy out of the Dean, but you can't take the Dean out of the boy!

We shall see , I hear he is only making small beers at the moment.
This will give him just cause to go back to the big side.

 

[Mitchlj73]

That's funny, because at one stage he never used to brew under 8%

We are half way there for the limit in under 24 hours so I am impressed.
I am knocking out a Baltic Porter next week, If I get my lowest attenuation rate (73%) it will just get up to 8% any better attenuation and its over the line.
Cant go too big on a Baltic or it will suffer drink-ability, its all about drink-ability.

Is Imperial Dopplebock a style ?

 

[Mardoo]

Imperial Trippel?

Great idea Nev. very envious. Even considered being the Victorian entry, but we'll just have to steal your idea. Have fun boys.

I think I can push a Dopple to 16% and make it drinkable , it remains to be proven .
Vic can steal the idea but just add the WA "Biggo" and we are good to go . :beer:

Alright. I'm onboard. Had a project in mind for a while. If it doesn't work out, I'll bail out.

The beer will be based on To Ol - Yeastus Christus, one of the best beers I've ever had!
