Plan 4
Case Swap tasting night
My son and another mate together had a tasting night of the swap beers last night.
What more can I say...fair job for just the three of us.
Some very nice beers in there.

That's almost identical to my ESB, minus the RB....a little too almost identical, if you ask me !
That wasn't a possum on my garage roof last brew day, it was a Paul !
Ed. You should call it Bramling Challenge anyway, it's more cleverer.

Plan 5
Melbourne Brewers Annual dinner
Great night last night 4 Course Dinner - 9 beers.
Awesome foods, Awesome Beers and great company
Plan 6
Brewday Play-date
Spent the arvo brewing with Cocko - came out with my dignity in tact.
Apart from burning the kettle element, flooding the floor, almost a boil over and screwing up the cube hope additions - it went really well.
Plan 7
Brew enough to fill all my cubes.
Add one more cube of a Hop Hog clone Grumpy-Cocko collaboration brew - potentially named the "Grumpy **** Hog" or "Grumpy Feral ****"

Element - Your fault.GrumpyPaul said:
Flooding bathroom - Your fault.
Near boil over - Well, I must come clean on this one, your fault.
Cube hops - Pretty sure we can follow the pattern here....
Good brew day though, looking forward to fermenting this fruit salad up!

Wubba lubba dub dub!
How did you go with the midnight wheat in the black IPA, GP?
I tried to use ~1% to add colour to my wheat beer on Saturday, and I (belatedly) realised that the midnight wheat was smaller than the J/W wheat I was using... fairly sure it didn't get crushed. (The J/W wheat certainly got crushed - it was ~2/3 wheat and my first runnings were > 1.090 @ a bit over 3L/kg.)
There was absolutely no colour being contributed - so I added the same amount (or a little bit more...) of roast barley and it immediately went black. Derp.
