Ahb Articles: Australias Biggest Brew Day 2009

[manticle]

Hi Katie,

Brendo and I are joining forces for this day and we will hoping to pump about 90ltrs (along with leading a few brewing noobs astray!).

Still finalising a few details of the day and will update the register/list accordingly.

Cheers SJ

I be one of those brewing noobs. Do I need to register or can I just donate through SJ and Brendo?

 

[Katherine]

SJ and Brendo top stuff... Manticle are you taking a fermenter home with you??? If so more on the list the better Im thinking.

 

[Supra-Jim]

He will be, Katie, if he behaves himself and does everything he is told to do!!!!

(I believe Brendo is organising the 'Mash Tun Biatch' Dunce hat for him to wear h34r: )

Cheers SJ

Katie and gang,

Regrettably I have to bow out of the A.B.B.D. due to moving house that weekend. However I will sponsor Chappo $0.50 p/l for his mammoth 5x double batches for the weekend, which will be equivalent to, if not more, my contribution anyways.

Cheers

Sully

pity Sully
I think the BABBS membership should help you out that way you could move, brew and drink at the same time :lol:

 

[Leigh]

Excellent stuff... did you want me to put your name down?

All done Katie!

 

[Katherine]

Thats a shame Sully but happy moving...

Excellent stuff Leigh...

Just to let everybody know that both charity pages have now being set up. So you have a choice of were you put your donations...

The choices are RSPCA or National Breast Cancer Foundation.

So at the end of the event we will have everything on the register, you pay into EVERYDAY HERO they take a small percentage of the funds for there services. I didnt know how else to set this up with funds going into my bank account which I really didnt want to do due to obvious reasons.

Does this suit everybody?

You can join the page as a team member so if you require the password do do so please PM and I will forward them to you.

Thank you...

Its only two weeks away!

Ive have decided to brew a double batch on Saturday which will be a hopburst of Nelson, Amarillo and Galaxy.... Lloydie will have to decide the double for Sunday.

My preparations for Australia's Biggest Brew Day are coming along...

I'm planning to brew a 50 litre batch of JZ's Robust Porter on my new (as yet unfinished) BIAB rig. There's nothing like a bit of pressure for motivation!

 

[petesbrew]

I have a raspberry porter recipe in the works at the moment, awaiting saturday night.

 

[Katherine]

This fantastic ..... good one pants....

 

[brendo]

I've updated my entry with expected totals... 92l, 287g of hops and 19kg of grain.

Have roped in a few noobs, so it should be a good - but long day.

Working on sponsorship Katie... so hopefully we can pump a few $$ in too...

Top work on getting this organised guys!!

Brendo

 

[Katherine]

No thank you Brendo its all the participants that make it happen....


Even if its half successful this year its still money for a good cause!!

Is the brew day no longer an AG only affair? Does it count if I were to make up some brews on the day and put them into cubes for later use?

Go for it...

 

[Supra-Jim]

Brew day is open to all who want to brew, regardless of how they do it.

I believe Chappo is running a session on how to use a can opener and a can of farmland lager h34r:

I can't see why cubbing won't be acceptable. As far as i know its the best way to get as much brewed as quickly as possible, and also convenient for those who want to take home some wort from a demo brew day.

Also Katie, Brendo has done a stellar job so far in preparing for the brew day, I'm starting to feel like i might be relegated to assistant mash tun bitch if i'm not careful!! (he has spreadsheets, checklists, timetables and i believe is organising a megaphone to shout orders at people )

Cheers SJ
