A big thankyou to Katie and Chappo for organising the day

Thankyou

You guys did a fantastic job, pulling all of this together. I had a fair bit of interest in my brewing demos, brewed 95 litres and managed to raise $250 in donations. Great day, must do again

I have the spreadsheet at work, which I will update tommorow back at work... and let everybody know of the process of donations... There is already close to $700... on the everyday websites already.

Yesterday Cubbie got $200.00

I got close to $200.00...

I want to thank Patch again for his help in organising the event and having the brew day at his house.... Also his donations which is close to $100.00 he also donated the grain to the cause! And the entertainment was great. I hope we didnt leave the place into much of a mess. I didnt think I was drunk yesterday until this morning and look at all my posts.... Patch can you delete them LOL!

Not quite sure what happened with the grain, Lloydie thinks he may of put pilsner malt in the amarillo ale his not sure.

It was great meeting you Steve... your beer Im thinking was the beer of the day. What you can do with kits and bits is amazing, I wonder what you will do with grain.

If everybody can put there litres on the wiki register that will be great then we can have a total of beer brewed.

Should we add in how much we raised as well?

Do you want volume left in kettle or diluted volume? h34r:

Updated the Wiki with our brews and $$$.

Jaysus, what a weekend.

sounds like most people had a great time and got lots of brewing done. Unfortunately life got in the way and cut my brewing output back to 28 litres but it was a good day, now to decide on which charity to donate to.
well don Katie and minikatie (chappo) for organising this

Hi Katie,

I have some more donations to add to the cash I gave you yesterday. Will read back through the thread later on and get the detail on how to submit the extra dollars.

Was a great weekend. I had a lot of fun brewing and watching Chappo water his carpet. Someone should have told him we have winter sprinkler restrictions enforced.

Cubbie.

Yes please...

If you go to the bottom of my signature and click on articles... it will take you to the front page and you click on either rspca or breast cancer foundation and it takes you to the everyday hero page you donate there.

If think you have mean Pistol Patch... Chappos in QLD... luckily his carpet was not to bad after we cleaned up...

Ha I do mean Patch. Mind you there was enough water flying about to give Chappo a spray.

Brendo I hear you were a great host and teacher which is a big part of this event...

 

[manticle]

And his lady friend............silently bringing coffee, snacks, water and soft drink at appropriate moments as well as putting on a great lunch.

thanks Katie it was a good day. Mistakes were made, lessons were learnt and beer was made.

Best bit was I had plenty of willing hands to clean mash run and kettle for me :beerbang:

cheers

behind every brewer should be an understanding swmbo.

I am pretty lucky on that front

 

[Bribie G]

Am I getting wires crossed or does a donation to the RSPCA just go to the WA branch? There are kittens to be rescued in Adelaide :unsure: not to mention Queensland etc.

 

[iScarlet]

+1 everything Manticle has said already. Bloody fantastic day out. Many thanks to Brendo and his better half!

 

[Bizier]

Bribie you can forward it to me, but have a look at the links and let me know.

Everyday hero was the best option.... There is a donation of $20 on both were someone has not put there name down ????

I believe that is me. Sorry Katie.

 

[Gavo]

Updated wiki, 42lt into fermenter and cube, $35 raised. Had a great day Saturday, brewing, BBQing and having a few drinks with friends on a wonderful warm and sunny winters day (well after the three degree start) here on the Western Downs.

Cheers
Gavo.
