Hag 2008 Xmas In July Case Swap!

[Weizguy]

Mmmm, did U know that the mouth is full of lactobacillus?

That's right! lacto Maibock. Could be tasty!

At least U didn't offer to stir my beer for me (Old Rugby tradition). :lol:

Yes, you spelled spit correctly, but you don't need to yell.

I'm still working on my entry for this. It could be the Belgian blonde I have kegged or the St Arnold's brother. 23 litres of 1.087 GSA (with the Unibroue yeast). :beer:

Beerz.

cheers

brush your tongue, dude. Don't wait until your teeth bleed...
It lives in all the little crevices in your tongue, or buy a silver tongue scraper :icon_offtopic:

Back on topic. Now I'm thinking of a Winter Warmer project ale with the Matilda Bay ale yeast for collectors of fine yeasts. Does anyone have any info on this yeast?

Lestifer

 

[Tony]

No mate...... first ive heard of it.

Was it a culture from a bottle?

cheers

 

[Weizguy]

yep, it's from a bottle of Matilda Bay real ale. Only a stubbie, I bought a long time ago. It was quite malty and I used the yeast for a Winter Warmer a while back.

It's probably the same as one of the commercial strains, but I cultured this one from the bottle.

Steve and all HAGs (scrags and dags, too) :lol: ,

I'm happy to pronounce this as the official HAG swap thread, and to add my name to the list. (at the risk of having my boy-bits removed). If necessary, we can start another thread...but why would we need to?

Coming into this late, and if you do not mind a-sort-of-hag, will try and make it into this Swap. Now, where is that Barley Wine recipe....

I've also decided to inflict my mash paddle entry on you lot. The judges at the Hag comp thought my last Maibock was average and I completely agreed with them. I reckon I know what was wrong so I'm confident this one will be good. It hits the tun next weekend.

I might dig out an old recipe for an Aussie Winter Warmer strong ale from a couple of years back.
Has plenty of unfashionable POR for those who remember what it tastes like (provided somebody still sells it )

I'm intending to have Helles Weizenbock ready for the swap. Just have to ferment another Schneider-y ale (already brewed and sitting in no-chill vessel) and use the yeast cake. Should be a great Winter Warmer, and good practice for brewing stronger ales and lager. That is, for brew-efficiency practice, which tends to suffer on the bigger beers. Is it the Esky's fault?

Other contenders added into the list until they decide to pull the pin. OK?

Oh finaly............. they are added. In or out! No fence sitting!

I racked my maibock last weekend and it was great. No infection which is suprising for me latly and is sitting in a chest freezer at 2 deg ATM.

want to CC it for another 2 or 3 weeks so early to mid july would be good. Should be ready to drink by september/october (comp season) .


cheers

PS.......... im assuming it will be held at marks but if not i may be able to offer up my garage in Rutherford.

No promises......... but its there as a backup if needed........ maybe

 

[pokolbinguy]

Do we have a date yet? I really need to get off my bum and brew!!! Need to finish drinking the xmas swap beers 1st....will need the bottles

Pok

 

[goatherder]

Well, my entry is in the fermenter. Gravities were hit and the wort was crystal clear, a nice change from my recent form. Now for a nice, long, cold ferment...

C'mon you lot, let us know what you are brewing for the swap. Quietest. Swap Thread. Ever.

 

[loftboy]

G'day fellow HAG's.

As some of you may know, Mark (MHB), has been a little unwell lately. I spoke to him today & he will not be in a position to offer the shop after hours for us to do the case swap.

So as a group, we need to come up with some ideas for a date, time & most importantly, a venue. How about we pick a park somewhere around the Newcastle or Maitland area. That way we do swap, have a BBQ for those who want food & generally have a relaxing get together.

Some possible locations;

- Speers Point Park or Warners Bay waterfront
- Jesmond Park
- Blackbutt Reserve
- Mount Sugarloaf
- Raymond Terrace near the river
- Morpeth or Maitland

If you all think that this is a goer, I'll start another thread in a day or so, we can vote on a date/time/location. Any other ideas or locations ?.

David.

P.S. I've added an article for our swap entries. Please post any updates to save making this thread too long.
