2016 NSW Mid Year Case Swap

[barls]

mines in two milk crates

 

[contrarian]

Mine too, thought it was traditional!

 

[Fatgodzilla]

so how many are side swapping?

For you case swap virgins, if you have leftovers or even some other brews, we swap around these bottles AFTER the main swap.

Ignore Barls' beers, all have signs of infections. :icon_vomit:

Actually, bringing you up lacto of some sort from Sponge - got third in the recent IBU infected beer comp.

 

[Mikeyr]

The beers are gathering........ I have 5 already lined up!

Still haven't had a few peoples names for the tasting notes list ...... if you don't PM me ..... I'll just make em up!

If anyone is planning on bringing "tasting kegs" i'd appreciate it if someone could bring a picnic tap. I have gas, but may run out of time McGivering a tap! OR we do it on the day!!!

As mentioned before, I'm going to provide some pulled pork and coleslaw rolls, if anyone has additional food requirements ...... BYO goat!

Cheers

Mikey

 

[barls]

[n87]

you know the swap is tomorrow dont you?
I have heard of a brew being ready in 7 days... but i think 20 hours is cutting it fine

 

[paulyman]

Bottling now... Got my counter pressure filler sorted thanks to some helpful AHB members and the LHBS. This thing is awesome! From bottling to Kegs and back again.

 

[Dan Pratt]

Official count 21.

However Cameron has not entered a beer so it. May be 20, leftovers or extras for the host

 

[Peter80]

Ha. Thats why I brewed 2 versions n87. 1 as a back up in case I stuffed up.

Good, I only brewed a small batch, and may have tasted a few along the way, ending up with a bit over 17 litres.

Will bring a Junior Plus keg - 10.4 litres (minus my sampler tonight) of Schwarzbier, connector and a Pluto gun.

Hey Fellas,

I went for a home grown hopped IIPA.
Gladfield's malt's reccomended IPA grain bill, with 45 IBU bittering, and 16 g/l dried homegrowns (500g into 30 litres) at flameout.
Managed to overshoot my target OG by 15 points, and when i tasted it mid ferment, was decidedly weak on the hop front. So i did an "argon' with an extra 2.5g/l each of chinook and nelson sauvin 5 min boil, and same again as a dry hop.
So much for the homegrown flavour, but it had to be done.
US05, (25litre golden ale starter), was happy enough with the ferment, although hoping for slightly drier. OG 1.088 FG 1.013. 10%
Been in the bottle for about 3 weeks now, so best drunk ASAP.
Cheers, Clayton.

 

[barls]

i dropped mine off earlier today.
remember all to number on the cap as it makes the swap easier.
have fun all but not too much fatz.

 

[Weizguy]

why not the isb already do in this
plus my beer is already finished fermenting.unless i taste it and decide screw the lot of you its too good to share.

Obviously , the beer was considered NOT too good for us.

Very tempting to put down the name twice, most of beers in the last were superb and if not superb then excellent. About three quarters of them I would have loved to have an extra bottle!

Isn't that why we share the recipes? To allow the beer to be replicated at our own breweries?

Back to 22, with Clayton's late and triumphant entry (2 posts above).

Hitting the road in 5...
