Cool, good stuff fents. if your home i might leave work a little early to beat the rush hour. will you be home from 5?

 

[Fents]

yep, going to duck down daves for a beer at 2pm should be outta there by 5.....hopefully. time warp brew shop!

 

[Wonderwoman]

wow, I don't check this thread for a few days and there's 4 new pages!

fents - I'm planning to bring my own bucket/esky for my party keg, so I think that means you shouldn't need to buy any.

offer of lift - I'll be driving from murrumbeena and have room for one person + beers

 

[zebba]

I *do* hope you mean beer. I mean, these things get a little wild at times, but...

Quiet you. This thread is for the people with the guts to share their beers.

(and references to damp kitchen floors are not welcome here either)

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.

For the record, I have tasted a couple of Zebba's beers that he was kind enough to share with me on a recent visit during a period of internal draft drought. Although I don't want to appear gushing with praise, it would certainly be reasonable to say that all present were overflowing with admiration of his efforts. The party certainly livened up when he produced his homebrew and we all felt that there really wasn't enough of it.

LOL. Screw you buddy

Woo hoo! Session finished for the day so just a bit of planning for next week and then I'm done! Might even go to bed early tonight just so tomorrow comes a little quicker! Looking forward to putting actual names to usernames.

See you all in about 24hrs!

 

[Siborg]

27 hours until kickoff! WHOOP WHOOP!



1. From 12:30, before 2 preferably for the bottle swapping.
2. No, dont chill swap beers. they are for drinking at home. not on the day! Bring your other goodies with you!

Awesome... I'll aim for 1:00 so we can get all that grain cracked

I've decided to become a non-swap attendee! This will make it easier for all those that are a bottle short.

I will bring the 2 beers that were options to swap and people can try them on the day, so no-one will miss out (unless you want too).

Anyway, see ya all tomorow!

Shame, Shame, Shame, SHAME!!!

I have updated the wiki to reflect this.

Bmmer dude. i'll be sure to have a taster of both of them tomorrow to let you know how good it is and you should have swapped!

you should just put it in (as long as it's not infected)

what you think is disappointing may well taste brilliant to a newbie

 

[Fents]

i agree if its the beer i tasted last night at cricket put it in dom.

I'm not pulling out of the swap but I am pulling out of bringing rhizomes. I went to dig one up this morning and got a bit confused so I'm erring on the side of caution.

People who were interested in what I listed in the wiki can probably still get some from me - I just need to get some tips from someone who's already done it and that won't happen by tomorrow.

Beerdingo if you read this - I need to get in touch re tomorrow - sent you a PM yesterday with my ph Number in it.

More than fair, but I even updated the Hop FAQ/Article thingy with stuff about dividing rhizomes, could things have been explained better?

 

[manticle]

I think I need someone actually in the garden with me. I dug around a bit, found some bits of root that looked like rhizomes with no nodules which were separate from anything, found some tendril like roots which seemed really fragile and found a big lump of root material with lovely looking green and white nodules. However this thing looked like a major part of the plant, the noduley bits were healthy looking but short and stumpy and attached to a large root mass (looked extremely difficult to snip away carefully). This was attached to the main plant by a still green runner.

I was just not confident in what I was doing so I put it all back in carefully and went to work.

I'm happy to have another squizz tomorrow but if I bring one it will be a surprise rather than a given. If I can get the tett one out of the ground you can post me some proculture wood ale - otherwise I'll have another go with some guidance from Sappas (he's done it and I think would be willing to help) in the next week or two.

I think the explanation is fine although photos are always a helpful addition (including photos of digging in the soil and being annoyed by household pets).

Photos (or help) might be required.
No nodules means they are roots, usually there are lots of nodules around the crown of the plant, but it's generally best to leave that in the ground. I'm not sure how old your plant is but the short stumpy nodule bits attached to the main plant via a runner, sounds like a new daughter plant that grew itself last year from a shoot or via layering the year before (I think that's how many of the plants sold on ebay are grown).

However, I'm sure there is enough going on tomorrow without adding crawling around your garden to the list.
I didn't mean to worry you about them (if I'm lucky I can beg one from Hutch) and bringing stuff to the swap is far easier than postage, so I'll be doing that anyway, no strings or stress attached.

Fents...put your hands in the air and step away from the keg....
See you tomorrow !!!!
Looking forward to it immensely !!
