Just got off the phone beers and I'll update yas all.

Sympathy for the lads! It's been long long hard day. The BW was still on the boil and the partigyle was still mashin'

The score is 250lts consumed 120lt on the boil! Almost Qld style? :lol:

Boys great catchin' up with yas all! I am 100% positive this will be the best BW Australia has ever produce BUT I am 100% sure not on of yas will remember how to brew it!

Jealous as hell!

Chap Chap

BTW the sooks are too hammered to edit out the crook photo's so apparently we have to wait? <_< Wish me QLD mates did that with the goats...

Stopping BD's pecker being burnt to a crisp... but it's not gay I was wearing welding gloves

 

[manticle]

BD's pecker? Must be long and curved - I'd assumed you copped a hot briquette in your nads.

As you say - not gay.

Not gay at all.

Well? errr if I didn't have gloves on the ends of my hands I guess? yeah? you maybe could call it gay? :lol:

But we are a politically correct forum that doesn't judge our members cept for the beer we produce

Doughing in:

taking the first runnings from the keg (50L) mash tun:

The flow from the big mash tun was starting to slow down... somethings not right here:

After continuously getting nothing coming out from the esky, the decision was made to transfer the spent grains from the keg mash tun, to an empty fermenter....

...and transfer the mash from the esky mash tun to the keg to run off/sparge:

Mashing in for the partigyle (I think)

Just a nice shot of all the kegs and pots in use on the day (shiiiiiiiny)

All in all, a great day. Thanks to Dave and the missus for hosting and everything.

Look forward to the next one.
