Put her 30th off for a week or two. Then they (the guests) can share in the joy of your Dark Mild. The designated drivers will thank you. :chug:

Cheers, Andrew.

I was installing a car stereo for a mate on my wedding day, still had plenty of time left after that until I said "I do", so no reason you couldn't whip up a snappy batch in the morning, by the time you come back from your honeymoon it'll be ready to bottle.

Ha ha. A short boil maybe?

I used to DJ wedding receptions when I was young and stupid and saw a lot of close calls.

Some of the best were the groom and 2 grooms men turning up on sailboards for a lakeside ceremony and having to fight a headwind for 20 mins with 100 people watching. His mate had the right idea 6 months later and did it on on jet-skis - tophat, tails and all.

Worst one was the water skiing effort in the morning that ended in the local emergency dept. Reception photos showed a black eye, swollen nose and sewn up lip.

All the best anyway Andrew - I know you'll make the right choice.

Indeed it does Warren. Could make a great starting point for someone wanting to brew a mild, like me B)

Cheers.

[dpadden]

[chappo1970]

Thanks Paddo
Not as dumb anymore? :huh:

Cool I'm gunna have to organise something then...

 

[FNQ Bunyip]

So how many sites are registed here in OZ ???

 

[Sammus]

If you search the 'find a beer site' page for 'australia' it only gives one hit. So...I'd hazard a guess at...one.

 

[wakkatoo]

From the website...

In 1988, May 7 was announced before Congress as National Homebrew Day.

Now I know its American etc etc, but guess what day my birthday is? B)

Might have to see if I can organise something...
