Hag 2008 Xmas In July Case Swap!

[goatherder]

Wow, I wish I could just find 50l of rauchbier in my garage...

Bring it on Tony, rauchbier sounds tops. It's not ironbark smoked is it?

 

[Tony]

No mate...... 40% weyermann rauchmalz.

I will see how it turns out.......... will probably look at bottling it this weekend.

cheers

Finally decided on what is going in for this one.. I'm running behind with brewing so it will need to stay in the bottle for a few weeks after the swap but it will be there. Looking forward to it.

Wow, I didnt realise what a pain in the freckle it would be to find, clean and bottle brush 52 stubbies! Both beers tasted good going into the bottle, I already have a favourite, but we will see after it has carbonated. Interesting to note the differences between 2 similar yeasts at the very least.
All the best

Hmm well I am now in a pickle...have been invited to a good family friends (my god father) birthday and retirement party on the same day...ohh and a 21st (but that can be missed anyway).... anyway fingers crossed I will be at potters on the day but if things change I will take my batch to potters and hopefully leave with Keith and Co.

Anyway thought I should let you all know just in case.

Cheers, Pok

And im not going to have anything to enter either.

No time to brew ATM so the Rauchbier is going into a keg to drink.

maybe next time.

Will be pouring all my mash paddle entry down the drain tomorrow as well.

With confidence at ZERO i wont be entering any comps this year either.

Time to lay low and sort out my troubles.

have a good day at potters.

cheers

 

[pokolbinguy]

I'll be entering a Maibock. This beer was conceived from literally the worst brew day Ive ever had, was also my first double batch to make matters even worse. I used a new mash tun and after having the connection to the false bottom come off during the mash (....twice) and having to move the mash out to reconnect it I ended up resorting to the older smaller mash tun. So not as much grain used and therefore the gravity was off but Im hoping it still turns out to be drinkable albeit not exactly on style.

Cheers

I just sampled another bottle of my entry... :blink:

It's incedibly dark, I'm talking stoutish dark, and I hope everyone likes bananas... bloody 3068.....

 

[Weizguy]

I trust that everyone is prepared to wait at least 3 months, and up to 12 months, to sample the Gamera-like strength of my HellesWeizenQuadruppelBock at 9.5%+ ABV.



The hops are still huge!!!! and unpleasant, like any number of over-hopped APAs I've ever consumed.

 

[goatherder]

Looking forward to it Les.

How about a final roll call? The swap is next week and there are still a number of names with no beer beside them.

Update the list with your beer, yeast and abv. Should be a good swap by the look of the beers so far.

Sampled one Last night, never tasted this style before but was quite nice. I was going to make a ESB for the swap but there wasn't enough time without any ale malt avaliable. I'll have to drink the ESB myself as its still in the fermenter what a shame !!

So is everyone going to be at Potters at 10 ?

 

[schooey]

So is everyone going to be at Potters at 10 ?

I won't be there until 12ish, young fella has soccer at 10am. If my swap case is needed before then can someone let me know and I'll organise to get it there earlier

 

[goatherder]

Probly a bit closer to 11 for me

 

[pokolbinguy]

So 10am at potters? See you all then.

 

[onescooter]

Got my entry ready to go. Will be there barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Just wondering if any sort of tour is organized for the brewery as it is something that I wouldn't mind doing whilst down there.
