Hag Xmas Case

[Weizguy]

Tony,

Sounds great, but it may be a little exclusive if we want to attract some lurkers, as Keith sez.

I'm very happy to have you brew it, if you're still keen, but we need to leave the door open to some more conventional entry-level beers.
Then again, I'm also happy to see some new names/faces turn up with some beers that will blow minds.

Just think "quality and drinkability". Balance is the key, grasshopper!

Hopefully, some hitherto unknown brewers will like the sound of some of the brews already mentined, and be keen to "throw their hat in the ring".

Bring it on. :beerbang:

[Tony]

Trent. are you judging at the state comp or bitter and twisted? there will be a bottle of said pom choking IIPA at both!

As for the beer, i started at mild and went to HUGE so i will settle on an ESB. Dark, malty and hoppy.

have we decided on a max total number? 28 bottles in 2 milk crates ist there. would be great if we get to this amount.

looks like there are lots of takers. good to see.

cheers

I hope to be judging at both comps, I just have to pull my finger out and get in touch with the right people to get my name on the list. I MAY have a strong ale in, so wont be able to judge that category, but if I dont think it is up to scratch, I wont enter, and request that category! If not, I will harass you for a bottle one day!

Trent,

I know that you have many super abilities but I didn't know that time travel was one of them.

Due to external timings and influences, both comps are on the same weekend although we will be judging on Sunday 28th Oct (ie a week before the Bitter & Twisted comp).

We will only have the BOS round at the actual B&T festival.

Your name is now ON the list.

Thanks mate,

Dave

Insight, are you willing to attend on the day? There is a train station, only a short distance from the shop or you might be able to get a lift (with bottles in tow- could be difficult by train). If so, we're happy to have you. Really happy. Otherwise it may be difficult to participate. Let us know. pm me if you want, or post here.

I'd like to fix the date as Saturday 15th December, after consulting the shop owner.

And while I'm taking charge, I'd like to see a max of 28 participants/ combatants, all using 750 - 800ml bottles.
Backup positions will need to be available too, in case of unforeseen calamity.

Let the fun begin!

Les the weizenologist

 

[Sammus]

hehe, this hag case nearly as big as the whole nsw one at least i saw this thread before it filled!

Les,

I only bottle in stubbies (not enough room in our fridge for tallies). Do you think a swap of 2 stubbies for 1 tallie would be acceptable ?.

Cheers,

David.

You spend a day brewing and up pops the anti-ninny brigade!

I'll stoke the fires and mention that I am also planning on using sugar as well!!!

You are a bad man. Ninny lager, is that the new name for the re-packaged "Bi-Lo Lager"? If so, then I am up for it, that beer is the best. Just make sure to add 1.5kg of sugar to boost the alcohol, I dont want any wimpy beers in this swap. Maybe I will do a Bi-Lo draught, but with 2kg sugar. I'm pretty tough, ya know.
You'd love the lack of swell we have up here at the moment, mate - longboarder heaven!
