2016 QLD Xmas Case Swap 17 Dec-Ravensbourne

[Adr_0]

And I'm out. Going to struggle to make it AND brew something prior to the 16th. Enjoy...

 

[evoo4u]

I'm currently in the process of attacking my 'to do' list for the rest of the year, and hosting the beer-swap on 17/18 Dec features prominently :beer: .
So while a mate (another home brewer!) was here with an excavator ripping up some unwanted clumps of bamboo which were towering over the house and filling up the gutters with crap, I mentioned that I needed a fire-pit for the spit roast. Well - 2 minutes and it was done. Then I thought I might as well arrange a bit of bush-seating and get a bit of decent hardwood for the fire. Anyway, that's one thing I can cross off the list.

The second part is to do a spring clean of the sheds in case it's a wet weekend and we need shelter, but that's job for later in the week (not tomorrow - that's a brew day, then watch the MotoGP). I'm not normally this organised, but with a long awaited holiday coming up, I don't want to leave a whole lot of things to the last minute.

[evoo4u]

formalities formally formalised:

Sorry we won't see you down here this time around.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Bummer, I enjoy your tasting notes

 

[seehuusen]

Shame Adr_0, maybe next time

 

[Adr_0]

Sorry gents, should be in next time. And it frees up someone different to join!

 

[Coodgee]

these swap beers get crazier and crazier every year.

 

[menoetes]

Agreed, it's kinda getting to be a bit of a competition, though I think people are getting crazier at the winter swap with the RIS's and what-not...

 

[evoo4u]

So to any of you brewers who haven't been in a swap, please don't feel intimidated - please. Just bring a brew! An ale, a lager, something that you do all the time for yourself, and that you enjoy. Sometimes the simple things are the best. :chug:

 

[Parks]

Sage words dear evoo

 

[Radshoes]

So I wont be able to make it, but am still keen to be in a swap of some sort.
Should I pull myself out of the main swap and go to swap 2?
Also who wants to take my swap beers up?

 

[angus_grant]

I seem to recall amongst the myriad wild beers and RIS's, sour beers, etc of the last swap one of my favourites was Rob's (I think) dark mild.

One style of beer I have completely bypassed in search of pale ales, IPAs, belgian's, barrel aged, etc, etc. But I will certainly be coming back to it.

On the surface a seemingly simple beer, but it had so much flavour and was a really enjoyable beer. So don't feel you have to be on the cutting edge of brewing to feel comfortable in the swap.

Rad: I don't see why you can't be in the main swap. You'll just have to arrange to get your beers to the swap, and the swap beers back to your place. Actually there is the exact problem: not sure there is anyone I'd trust with that responsibility.

 

[Zorco]

What's the deal with 'cubists' in the Mexican swap?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

What's a swap without sillyboyradshewz?

 

[Zorco]

So I wont be able to make it/indent]

Should I pull myself out

​

That's not what they teach us in man school.

Your main manliness is to stay in and deliver the load..... especially when you don't think you can make it.

Fish are friends, not food Radshoes!

Stick with us. A seat in my shit ute has just been allocated to you.​
