pcqypcqy are you anywhere along or near Amosfield Road? If so I'll drive over via Woodenbong and Mt Lindsay Road. They were doing lots of work on it a couple of years ago, hopefully most sealed now.

I'll bring curry for side dish.
I'll be POQ Sunday morning as I have to be in Woodford via Kilcoy for son's birthday - all works out neat.

I'm near the end of Amosfield Road, but on Mt Lindesay Rd. You can either go via Woodenbong or via Tenterfield. Right near the locality of Willson's Downfall, so it's much of a muchness from Lismore/Casino. From Kyogle it might be shorter via Woodenbong.

I think the road through Woodenbong is mostly sealed through the real windy bits, but from memory there were still unsealed sections. It's not the funnest drive, but might be better now.

 

[pcqypcqy]

2 months people!

Bobcat has been and cut us a nice flat pad in front of the cabin, which is grassing up as we speak. There's a big pile of wood ready to burn, as well as a couch or two. My farmer mate nearby is back from holidays this week and I'll hit him up for a pig.

If you're on the list and know you won't be making it, make sure you drop out with plenty of notice so the reserves have a chance to get organised.

 

[Meddo]

Yeah I'm out sorry pcqypcqy, the better half is due five days later so the chance of me getting a leave pass is now non-existent. Spot #4 is free for the taking, all...

[Insensate]

Woohoo, Well that's me in...

 

[Bribie G]

I know I've mentioned this before re case swaps, but as it's all in 750ml PETS this time, then 30 of them is two cartons exactly, nice and neat and easier to transport than having a full 15 box and the other 9 rattling round the car.

We might not make 30 on this occasion but worth working towards so everyone gets in?

How's the road from Tenterfield through Boonoo Boonoo and Caroll's Creek?

 

[Meddo]

If you want to try to get to 30 I'm happy to still contribute beers to the swap if someone can carry from/to Bris for me, I just won't be able to attend unfortunately.

 

[pcqypcqy]

How's the road from Tenterfield through Boonoo Boonoo and Caroll's Creek?

Last I drove it, about 18 months ago, it was fully sealed except for a 10km stretch between Bald Rock NP and Willsons Downfall, but the unsealed bit was regularly graded and we had no issues in our suzuki swift. I got the impression they were doing this in sections as they could afford it, so it may be sealed by now.

 

[pcqypcqy]

I think the issue with 30 is that not everyone can brew and end up with a full 23 litres of finished beer. Some struggle with filling 24 bottles.

There's always a side swap happening to pad out the boxes.

Plus people will be dropping out. I'll eat my hat if we have more than 20.

 

[Bribie G]

I'll bring Reggae Reggae sauce for the hat.

ps: 1950s Toohey's XXX pitched last night. Bottles will have WLP 059 Melbourne Ale for reculturers.

 

[Meddo]

No worries, well I'll probably brew up a batch anyway and if it turns out you're short of the full two-dozen I'll try to find a courier so I can still contribute.

 

[pcqypcqy]

Yeah, send the beers along with someone if you want, i'm sure there'll be no shortage of volunteers.

I get your point, but there's always the difficulty for the 20L batch fellas who need samplers as well. I'm getting into the habit, and a few others have been, of organising a few private swapsies via the thread. Always be happy to trade with ya Bribie. 24 plus extras.

Can courier for ya if you want to either make up the numbers meddo, or organise private swaps.

 

[winkle]

After having a few of Earle's buckwheat beer last swap, you lot will probably experience my Biere de Ble Noir - in all its Glorious Black Buckwheaty Wheatiness (unless it sucks, then you'll probably get something English)

 

[evoo4u]

Just bottled my Smoked Porter for the swap, and noticed one PET a little shorter and somewhat slimmer than the rest, so someone's going to be short-changed! I only had exactly 24 new caps, and too far out-of-town to slip in and grab some more, so there are no spares in PET bottles either.

I always assumed PETs were PETs, but filled and capped, the little one is 150g lighter than the other one...

 

[pcqypcqy]

interesting. I don't think aynone will mind.
