CRABs monthly meeting - September 28th 2013

[sp0rk]

Putting it out there
The 2 dates that are we're able to run the next meeting are the 7th of September or the 28th of September
What's good for everyone else
If we go 28th, I propose we do an Oktoberfest themed brew day complete with german sausages and freshly baked pretzels for nibblies

 

[Arghonaut]

I am heading up to the Gold Coast but I will be back for the 28th so that is good for me, and an Oktoberfest brew day sounds like a great idea, never done a marzen and keen to try one. Hoping to upgrade to a 70 or 100l pot from craftbrewer whilst away....good chance to put it through its paces!

 

[sp0rk]

I'll just confirm with Matt to make sure the shop is available that day, but if it is the 28th is looking good

 

[sp0rk]

Bumping it up to see if anyone else is keen to do a brew on the day?
Doesn't need to be AG/BIAB, we're happy for a kit,extract or partial brewer to do a batch with us

 

[eungaibitter1]

Fairly keen to make it up there if I can. The 28th? Specially interested in learning a few things about ag

 

[Arghonaut]

Come along, two us will be doing AG brews on the day, you will learn heaps......


......then drink a few beers, and forget it all!

 

[eungaibitter1]

Righto, where is it at and what time to start

 

[Arghonaut]

The country brewer Toormina, on hi tech drive. Not sure on start time, probably 10ish if we are brewing.

 

[sp0rk]

I'll get onto Matt from Country Brewer today and confirm a time

 

[sp0rk]

After talking to Matt, we're going to go with a 9am start
I might let Arghonaut start first, then I'll start my brew an hour or 2 later so we're staggering the process
That way any walk ins don't get bored with us sitting round for an hour or so at a time doing nothing

I'll bringing along a couple of bottles of my Chocolate Porter to share around
I'm kegging my Citra/Cascade IPA tonight, will bring a couple of bottles of that too but it will probably still be a bit green

 

[Arghonaut]

Sorry guys but something has come up and I won't be able to make it on Saturday was looking forward to it too :/

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Grrr....Clashes with final round of the Grafton Hillclimb.....

 

[sp0rk]

All good guys, guess I'll be alone to screw up the brew anyways
Might get in early on organising the next one and getting a little more advertising out for it
Any suggestions for a date and/or theme?

 

[skelly22]

See uh in the morning guys. Il bring a few red and amber ales.

Hey Skelly22, I hope your first name isn't Shaun, there couldn't be 2 of us so close.

 

[All.Hopped.Up]

:huh: All quiet on the Western front...

I am guessing that there will not be an October gathering?

 

[sp0rk]

No October, sorry I was pretty flat out with stuff all month
If enough people are keen I'm able to do Saturday the 23rd or Sunday the 24th of this month
I figure Saturday isn't the best day due to kids and sports, but whatever everyone else wants to do
Probably just a meet up and bring some beers, no brewing or theme this time unless anyone has any suggestions
