Wow.

Needless to say, I am super chuffed to have won.

I have a lot of family and friends around for Christmas and I am sure we are going to have a great time being able to sample so many different styles.

Thanks a lot to everyone, PM's will be sent out shortly

 

[homekegger1]

Bloody unreal. 5 posts in total and wins big on the christmas lottery.

Nah Well done blue. A bottle of my swap beer will be sent soon.

Cheers

HK

 

[gibbocore]

Tallie of English Bitter for you mate, congrats.

 

[Tony]

After thinking of the logistics of picup, and the fact that i will be away for work, im kind of glad i didnt win actually.

Bottle of AG Coffee Porter made with 400g Fresh mild beans in the mash and boil to be sent.

Dont hold off on the address for too long mate, i have to go bush for work on wednesday morning.

cheers

And we will all want feedback on each beer mate, so you may run up a few more posts yet

And for those who havnt posted a beer bottle before, Australia post policy is that it should be packed to withstand a shoulder height drop onto concrete!

The word "fragile" on the package means nothing because its an automated system and comveyors run them off into bins. If yours is one of the first into the bin it has a long way to fall and god knows what will land on it.

im kind of glad i didnt win actually.

For some bizarre reason im thinking the same :huh: am I going soft?
Cheers

[Crunched]

[Simon W]

Congrats Blue.
An attempted clone of Schneider Weisse(Les the Weizguy recipe) heading your way..... eventually, I think you missed a few people, still waiting for the PM.

The perils of saying what everyone else is thinking. What a PITA collecting them would be.

Although you would think most of the Melbourne guys are nice enough to drop it around if blue isn't too far away.

 

[Pennywise]

Well done blue256, I put a few different brews in the fridge last night so I could taste them today and send you the one I thought was the better. You have a nice partial Dunkelwiezen on the way as soon as I get the PM, have a good christmas and be sure I'll be thinkin of you on the 25th thinkin' "*******" :lol: :lol: :lol: , nah seriously well done mate, hope you enjoy all the rewards,
