Sammus is greatfully being my Ninny Runner for the Newcastle leg. As ninny lager was bottled last weekend its till conditioning and would be best to let settle as I used real Ninny Lager yeast and thats just a trip for me. So maybe towards NYE would be best to enjoy some Ninny...

I have to thank Sammus especially as he has to put up with for 6 hours the sounds of bottles rattling. I could tell a story about the F3, a hangover, bottles rattling, finding it hard not to throw up on the sound of every jingle of the bottles in the boot and a pair of amber vision sunglasses and a breath test! But for another time...

As my first beer for the swap ended up being crap, I am a bit late with the back up job. It won't be ready for drinking until late January, but I'll whack a reminder label on it for a reminder.

Just labelling the bottles, so there's no confusion.



See youse there!

BTW, the beer is actually drinkable now, but probably nicer in a week or so, so it's up to you when U consume.

Trent and other concerned individuals,

On the previous post, I have added HKS to the reserve list again, as my first act as a mod on this sub-forum.

Les

Arrgghh I saw I was off the list but was quite busy as I've have been lately and didn't checkout why. So I didn't bottle up in time for today when I saw I was added back onto the list thanks anyway Les. Sorry to disappoint guys. I may have not been ready anyway or they could have been potential bottle bombs if I had bottled them yesterday. Plus it probably wasn't the best idea to make you guys guinea pigs on my 1st batch after not brewing for 10 years :lol:

Have a good day guys, have a few beers for me.

OT, but funny story:

Some may have seen this thread where I was looking to make a magic/miracle/jockey box
http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=19355

I was down at MHB's yesterday buying the rest of the gear I needed for my kegging setup, beer/gas lines/JG fittings/4" stainless shank with female snaplock etc. Mark was out the back and I was looking at his miracle/magic/jockey box. He came out the front and started talking about it and I thought ahh good he knows who I am. So we are talking about cold plates vs coils, pros and cons etc. Then he goes "Some twat on AHB was talking about coils for jockey boxes" I then embarrisngly said that twat was me. :lol: Too funny. Thanks for helping out that twat yesterday Mark, much appreciated.

Cheers

Just updating the specs for #4 - American IPA. Bittered with Horizon and EKG, dry hopped with Tomahawk (aka Columbus).

Only bottled today so needs 2 weeks to carb up plus it hasn't seen any cold conditioning so a week in the fridge should see it drop bright.

[schooey]

Nice to meet so many of you today, a great day indeed. Thanks again Mark for being an all round champion with your hospitality. As stated in the list, please keep Number 23 for one of you last samples, some time late in January, even later for it to be at it's best.

 

[puffer_pics]

Hi just to let everyone know, #28 if you have a label on the bottle it is an Irish Red Ale stating this. If there is only a number on the cap it is a Belgian Pale Ale, I picked up one of the wrong crates and wasn't travelling back to pick it up There were 10 bottles of the Belgians in the swap. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks Mark for hosting the day. Merry Xmas to all Cheers

 

[fingolfin]

I would just like to add, mine is pretty much right for drinking, I would suggest a week in the fridge, then have at it.

Cheers for a fun afternoon all.
