Aldi specials

[Batz]

Oktoberfest liquor is on again: from next Wednesday 20th September. Slightly different format this year, no 4 packs of 500ml assorted but note the 5L mini kegs of Paulaner Helles and Hefe for $30.

I'll be sitting at the door at Lismore on opening time.

$3 steins, FFS.

Would these be any good for yeast cake harvesting / storing?

 

[Black Devil Dog]

They'd be fine, some of those taller juice ones might find their way back to my place.

 

[Bribie G]

Yes I noticed those jars. I'm going to get a few to keep slurry in because at the moment I often have a couple of Schott bottles tied up for weeks with slurry.

I guess they are pressure cookable. If so they would also be good for sterilising then storing spare wort for starters.

I like the look of those juice bottles. Does anyone know their height and will they fit into a namco canner?

 

[Black Devil Dog]

The smaller ones look like they'd stack ok too.

Hmmmm decisions.

Not so keen on rubber seal on top. The rubber seals tend to perish rather quickly and I have not found a source of spares. Would prefer silicone to the red rubber.

I went in for a few beers and came out with $80 worth of german food and sausages... octoberfest themed gf day it is!
Got a few packets of these, they look fantastic

I was late getting to Lismore, at midday today there was only Paulaner Oktoberfest and Hefe half litres left. There were yellow cards on the shelf apologising for the lack of the mini kegs and saying they would be here at a later date. Aha, worth keeping an eye out for them.

I scored a dozen Oktoberfest 6% ABV. This is what German beer should taste like. And only $4 a bottle.

I can now see that Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 would not have happened if they hadn't been ploughed out of their brains on this stuff and history would have been quite different. He wouldn't have ended up in jail, wouldn't have written Mein Kampf and probably gone back to painting bad landscapes and left the rest of us alone.

****** Munich beer has a lot to answer for. Prost.

I bought 4, for trub storage to supplement my Schott Bottles collection, They are exactly 17.5 cm tall.

Still available locally, depends on your store as always, and the number of hipster Quinoa, Kale and Kefir maniacs in the area, but I guess not the most high demand item around for the general population.

Edit (Tuesday)

I like. Ich Liebe.

Anyone else pick up one of these over the weekend?

How many did you have to fight off mate? The typical trash news outlets were publishing the usual ‘frenzy’ articles.

 

[Bribie G]

Off topic but the designer chairs sold out by 10am nationwide.

A couple of Aldis still have Coopers Craft beer outfits with the half size FV.

 

[knot_gillty]

Missus is getting one of these for me. Unfortunately for now will be a meat freezer...
