Merri Mashers - Case Swap

[BreadMurderer]

I'll be away picking apples or mandarins or some other type of fruit at this point so won't be able to partake unfortunately. :-( Australia and it's rules for a second visa eh?

 

[pomsaleius]

No way I'm going to miss out on this!
The beer I'd hoped to bring to the last meeting if I'd got all the ingredients on time is now in the fermenter, so we'll go with that.

Just read about it in the newsletter - if I can sort out my inability to use a friggin' calendar I'd love to come along. My first AG brew is fermenting away and I'll be brewing regularly between now and then so I'm sure I'll something to add to the mix.

[plunkett195]

yep, don't call me craig
and i won't do a saison

probably something dark.....seeing as it will be coming into summer...

 

[Vanners]

I'm gonna brew my Case Swap beer this weekend. It's gonna be an American Brown Ale. If it tastes as good as it does in my mind, y'all gonna enjoy it!

Should we look at locking down a date for this BBQ so people can mark it their diaries, I guess it's what works best for you Prez?

 

[TimT]

I think it's pretty much locked down. Sunday 23 November....

 

[Forever Wort]

I think November 23 was mentioned by Justin a while ago, I'm not sure if that has been confirmed subsequently or not.

Good on you Vanners for getting on top of your brew. I think I will be putting mine down Saturday the 27th.

I am still fine tuning the Mongrel Saison recipe ...

 

[beermeupscotty]

A few of my RIS's have been emancipated from their conditioning (hard to stop yourself drinking/sharing a brew, eh?) so it's looking like I might do a half/half swap - like everyone'll get 1 stubbie of RIS, and one of Amber or Pale...

Having at least 23 different home brews to try is gonna be f'n sweet! Is (mass) feedback generally part of a case-swap? That would be pretty nice too.

 

[beermeupscotty]

Every chance I'll change my mind but at this stage I'll go with an American Brown Ale

Hope you don't (change your mind)!

Re-reading my original post it sounded like I wasn't keen for your ABA, while it's quite the contrary. Love a good Brown Ale...

 

[Dove]

I'm keen to join! At this point I am about to bottle a very traditional style Gose so could potentially contribute that. Otherwise probably something sour depending on how future brews go!

 

[Vanners]

Yeah it is gonna be sweet trying so many different beers. Yeah we'll have a feedback thread up and running after the swap. This case swap is all about trying different beers and getting good honest feedback on your beer from a bunch of people to hep us improve. Drinking in the name of education, doesn't get better than!

 

[Forever Wort]

The day itself promises to be good fun too.

Dove, you can chuck your name on the bottom of the list and that'll keep you from getting lost when the next person comes on or off-board.

 

[carniebrew]

November 23 sounds good to me. Should we still have a club meeting on Nov 25, or replace it with this case swap day? Something tells me we could all still be hung over come Tuesday.

[Forever Wort]

When people have locked down their beer name and recipe, either post it in here or send it to me in an email/PM. I am compiling an official booklet that we can each take home with our mixed cases at the case swap.

You can put forward whatever information about your beer you like, the bare minimum being the style and a name. The more info the better obviously, but it is nice to keep some things a mystery ...

Compiling a booklet means all we need to do is label our own bottles with our number.

And we will then have a handy little memento for the occasion that we can keep with the beers and consult while we drink through the case.

 

[beermeupscotty]

Awesome, Luke. It's still two months off, eh? I've put 2 cases away for the swap but will have another 1 or 2 new batches to come before the date. I'll have to see how they turn out before I lock down my contribution (want to enter my tastiest cases). Will keep ya posted though!

 

[Vanners]

Ok, American Brown Ale is in the cube and ready to ferment as my case swap beer.

There were a fair bit of hops in this one.




Forever Wort I'll send you my details soon.

 

[carniebrew]

Gonna be a busy couple of months leading up to this....Right now I have my ANHC club night brew dry hopping and our Ultimate Session Beer comp entry for club night (Ronnie Ryan Red Ale...watch out for the hangover!) fermenting as well.

I need to brew my case swap beer, and I'm also one of the Mashers who are brewing beers to put on our club font during the case swap! All that and my Pilsner keg ran out last week, just as it had come really good!

When's that bloody Full Pint grain bulk buy again???

 

[Forever Wort]

I am brewing mine this Saturday morning. I picked up my grain from Full Pint on Saturday and I tell ya, barring any unfortunate incidents this saison is going to be a helluva mongrel.

I am aiming for ~7% ABV with a dry, soft toffee flavour complementing the WLP585 yeast, which I've never used before.

:icon_cheers:

Case Swap Grub

I am thinking Ribs / Wings / lots of chilli (hint hint)

Anyone keen to help out with food / prep?

Planning on a MP IPA clone as my case swap brew

 

[Wolfman]

I'll make the chilli sauce!

 

[TimT]

Oh, for the love of.... beware the Wolfman's chili sauce!

Er - anyone for cupcakes?

 

[TimT]

Not promising anything at this stage but I might have a beer cheddar ready to bring along.

I've thrown my off set smoker into the ring, I can help with food.

 

[New_guy]

Perfect!
It will be an early start!

 

[Ruthanne_Azia]

Ok, I'd be keen to come to this! Should have a spring themed, American style, Amber ale rocking by then. I split the batch after the primary fermentation, added toffee (to one half) made from honey & coconut sugar, flavoured with rose & orange blossom water. (There is some without toffee, for those who don't like honey beers)
I do have other things on that day already, so prob won't be able to stick around long, but definitely in for just the case swap otherwise.
