[Siborg]

Alright... I'll bring over a bottle of my sour.

Anyone not like coopers? I've been going nuts on them lately.

 

[Fourstar]

I'll bring a keg with a picnic tap attached of something a little more sessionable... or at least a lower IBU and ABV count

Now why did i say i wasnt drinking exactly?

That was still the sickness talking amte, don't worry, we didn't buy it either....

I've just added some quickset concrete to my list of things to bring... h34r:

yeah come on..seriously... i even thought that maybe i would be a designated driver and behave so I didnt have to reply on the missus to drop me off and pick me up....but after about 30sec I realised that in theory its a great idea. in reality it just wont happen. better to be safe than sorry. just plan on drinking. let the alcohol kill the bugs in your system (and replace them with lactic and funky beer bugs instead)!

Kell is going to drop me down (and probably pick me up as well).

I'd offer you a lift, but reckon I could be pushing the proverbial uphill in our little coupe once I have the big kettle in there - unless you want to sit in the pot B)

Def no driving for this little bunny...

 

[Fourstar]

Well beyond the fact that im going to be delivering Fents monolithic tun on saturday and having to fret over chilled wort in cubes which will require yeasties to be pitched ASAP to pick up with a hangover on sunday, the idea of keeping myself below .05 isnt such a bad idea. Unless i no chill my 40L of wort and i still dont feel like the cryptkeeper from tales from the crypt.. i cant forsee myself changing the plan. (still wiping copious amounts of sweat from my brow)


i might pack a 'break glass in case of emergency' gyprock just incase.

p.s. getting the tun and the simcoe tomorrow. :beerbang:

 

[Fents]

Thanks Fents... we will put it to good use and make sure that Siborg does a good job of cleaning it up for ya h34r:

 

[Maple]

Well gents, the grain is cracked. No turning back now. Will ask mrs maple to grab the eats from the butcher tomorrow, and set up what I can tomorrow night. Still have to chuck a few batches into kegs and gas em, try to get to that tonight.

Cm2, wanna see if you can book a table at MPs for lunch?

 

[brendo]

Looks like it is all systems go - what time are we meetin for lunch tomorrow boys? I have blocked from 12 out in my diary.

 

[brettprevans]

Been off crook. Fourstar I think u gave me what u have. Damn Internet.

Dont worry I will be there Saturday.

I should be at work tomorrow but I won't make lunch. Probably get there for a quick pot but won't be able to stay long.

I told you not to kiss him...

Good to see that no concrete will be required for Bretto then.

So what time do the rest of you boys want to meet? I can prob book if we agree on a time.

 

[brettprevans]

No way would I miss Saturday.
Still Trying to sweat it out. Tried drinking it out last night but no luck. Maybe I'll have more luck Saturday.

 

[Maple]

We'll get the good bugs in ya Saturday, not to worry. Do you want me to swing by tomorrow and pick up your stuff? That way you can just ride over (not back, of course)? Talk to you tomorrow about it.

Lunch: leave it to whenever you can get in, target 12 but see what's available I guess.

Kegs are filled, black Saturday has a really Nice smokiness to it, quite nice without carb. Only had a litre or two.

I will give them a yell first up and let you guys know how I go.

so... how did it go?! ive got a meeting from 2:30-3:00. other than that im as free as a bird. I should have probabaly stayed home today, even my manager was like WTF are you doing here? :blink:

The apocalypse is upon us... The Lupulin Child has not seen beer in just under 7 days. At midnight the heavens will part and the barleywine partigyle demons will wreak havoc on the land.

I must seek the amber liquid for lunch... i must seek the amber liquid for lunch... its my destiny.

 

[brettprevans]

just FYI - I wont be able to get to Mrs P's until about 1:15pm. am in meetings with the Boss. If your not going to be there at 1:15pm can someone shoot me a sms or PM me as the last meeting im at is offsite

 

[brendo]

alright guys... got a table booked for 12pm.

I was advised that they have about 35ppl getting there as a big group around the same time, so we won't want to muck around ordering our parmas.

I have to be back in the office for a meeting at 2:30pm.

CM2 - one of us will sms you to let you know what is going on.

Cheers,

Brendo

 

[Fourstar]
