AHB Articles: NSW Special Case Swap 2011

[petesbrew]

Bottled mine tonight. Poured myself a glass of it to start, and I'm happy how it's turned out.
Just gotta finish the labels now.

 

[petesbrew]

So what's the go for the swap time & place?
It's at Gulpa's on 28th May right?

 

[white.grant]

I bottled the Gose on the weekend and it's nice and salty . I haver tasted the Dubbel and it is not too bad, a keg of it went down well at Rays Big Brew day earlier in the month - pretty sure its the last time I will keg an 9% beer. I haven't tasted the Jacobite ale yet but it will benefit from an extended cellaring.

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the swap though CorteztheKiller has offered to transport my beers northwards.

cheers

The 28th is fast approaching. We better get this day organised. What does everyone think about timing, previously we have started around 11 and swapped around 1-2pm. Shall we continue with that?

Food:

1. Sausages or other meaty substance: Gulpa - probably a salad as well


PM me for the address.

And dont forget to update your beer details on the Wiki.

cheers
Andrew.

 

[Gulpa]

Should have also said that anyone else not swapping is welcome if they want to come along and talk/drink beer.

cheers
Andrew.

I didn't get around to making a Belgian - but I did put down an IIPA which I bottled on the weekend

Is it ok to submit this in the Belgian category?

Cheers

I might be able to swing by at some point on Saturday. Won't be for long, but i'll try my best...it's been a while since i've caught up with alot of the folks down there!

 

[petesbrew]

Tasted my flanders bruin the other night. Wasn't carbed, so either bring it inside for a bit or leave it for a month or two.... or leave it till I say when it's ready?
Besides being flat, it was pretty well balanced with the oak,funk & alcohol IMO!

 

[gruntus]

Howdy Guys,

I'm thinking that I might have to scratch my Big Arsed Darkie....it's been in the bottle for 8 weeks and has no carb at all :blink: .

I can replace it with my Belgian (I have plenty of extras).

What do you guys reckon?

Cheers,
Grant.

 

[petesbrew]

Bugger, Gruntus.
Fine by me - I'm partial to a belgian!

I've done a final count on my RIS bottles - some of you will be left with 2x 330ml's. Sorry but it's the last of the batch. I'm left with 5 (3 to enjoy, 2 for a comp... maybe)
However I'll make up for it by adding a stubbie of my latest Dry/Oatmeal Stout as compensation to those who are short changed.

Got a thought - I'll bring a 9litre keg and a gas bottle. We'll pour the BAD in, carb it up and drink on the day!

or else we won't. I'm driving home now about 5.00ish - and coming through about 11.00 ish via Camden. Anyone want a lift ? No sleepover.

G and I will be coming.

See you guys tomorrow

 

[Josh]

I've been voluntarily rested from football this week. So I'm bringing the whole family. Noone seems to have dessert on the list, so I'll whip something up this afternoon.

Bottling my Berliner Weisse tonight, but my American Brown Ale and Tripel are both ready to drink.

[Gulpa]
