I hope not...

My palate stuffed for the weekend.

Just drink away the bugs.. 1/3 brandy, 2/3 port is always a nice warming drop.

What is this phone beers thing?

Patch always has phone beers... beer and a chat on the phone. beware you cant understand him sometimes.

Well then Nev has my number if phone beers are called* for!

*get it??

 

[Katherine]

Thanks Mantis.... First for the BEASTS.....

 

[Katherine]

Everytime somebody donates to everyday hero I get an email. The two people that have donated so far (thank you) they have also done the right thing by putting there screen name down.... can every body do that as it will make things alot easier for me.

Once I have confirmation of payment I highlight them in red...

Should individual event coverage be posted in this thread, or should I start a new topic?

Steve.

 

[Mantis]

No worries Katie.
Will be brewing Sunday morning.

Will be just me and my brewhaus burmese cat

Might have to phone beer Chappo to get into the mood :beer:

 

[PistolPatch]

Chappo, you are going to get some very odd phone calls this weekend!! :lol:

Eric, just for that I have just changed you to number 2 on...

"TIDALPAT'S" PHONE BEER LIST.

Steve, don't give Katie or chappo any excuse to start any new threads!!!

Seriously though, chappo and I have threads going for our open invite brew days but it might be fun to have all the pics etc gathered here in the one thread so we can find them again. If you do start one, make sure you give us a link though :super:

Gotta go and do more starter top ups :angry:

For those brewing tomorrow, give it heaps and show us your pics eh?

Spot,
TidalPat

[chappo1970]

Mashed out now trying to hop on the boil!

Chappo :icon_cheers:

 

[pants]

Mashed in 16.5 kilos of grain for our Robust Porter for my first brew on this rig at 12:00...

 

[PistolPatch]

It's all go! Hope you guys are having fun

Just crushed 10kgs for Katie so now I can think about, re-assembling 6 kegs, filling and carbing 2 of them, finding my gas leak, weighing and crushing another 30kgs of grain, putting on my kettle taps, setting up and then mashing in my first 2 brews.

Lucky I work well under pressure

pants, you're not doing the Brewing in a Bag properly. See this picture for the correct way.

 

[chappo1970]

Mashing #2 Vienna Lager! Smells great at Chappo Manor.
