AHB Articles: Vic X-mas In July 2010 Case Swap

[Leigh]

I had intended to host this swap, but no longer living at home put the brakes on that...I might host a brew day/night before the November swap, will depend on the sale of the property in Upp Beac and what access I can get to it.

Did we have anybody put there hand up for a tarp. Can bring one, but won't be arriving until 3ish

 

[Hutch]

Any more thoughts on what will be brewed on the day so we can develop a recipe? There's a few suggestions on the brewday wiki.

I'm still in favour of an APA / AIPA, given the abundance of hops we have, and simplicity of grain-bill.
Would be good to get this organised in the next few days, so if there are other preferences, speak up.

*licks lips* If its as good as the other alt you've made Rooky, i'll enjoy some of that!

Ive also got a bottle of my choc brown ale minus the hazelnut which was served at the Melbourne brewers annual dinner to bring along. It will be interesting to see how she favours without the hazelnut.

So finally after a shitload of dramas mine is bottled and ready to go. Running a little late carb wise as my planned brew didn't turn out as i hoped, however PLAN B is tasting good (thankfully!! :huh: ).

See you all saturday!

Cheers SJ

I can bring a tarp. Got a massive one, but it has copped a few holes over the years. Also, I know I have at least 25 glasses, should have up to 35, but will have to check actual number's tonight. I'm happy with whatever we brew.

 

[Fents]

we are good on the tarp front i scored one from my old man....still need rope etc to tie it up.

actaully dom bring ur's as a backup.

 

[beerDingo]

I don't have many ropes, but I have a bunch of tent poles that we can use to keep it up.

Other preferences in the brewday wiki although I'm pretty easygoing. If we go the american super hoppy thing I reckon my vote would fall with AIPA

 

[Cocko]

Is it just the one [quad] batch planned on Fents' rig?

Let me know if my tun [100L] and kettle [120L] is needed as it will be chewing up wagon sleeping room if I bring it 'just in case'...

:icon_cheers:

 

[manticle]

Guess it depends on how much ingredients we can muster together, how many willing helpers and how many want to take cubes away.

 

[Cocko]

Time to lock some plans in then I guess?

I am sure we can muster ingredients...

 

[manticle]

We need more people to edit this: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum//ind...showarticle=122

[beerDingo]

Glasses are sorted! I've updated the wiki.

I'd vote this option as an attendee and having dealt with batches of this size. The time you will spend boiling wort etc with limited burners you will probably have the 2nd mash sitting there for hours, you might as well do a seperate one. OR a partigyle!

Check the "Immersion Heaters" thread, at least 4 of us coming along have bought one recently. Could get that puppy boiling in no time if we all brought em along.

Don't know how Fent's fuse box would hold up, though?
