Nickb's Nanango Brew Day - 19th June

[NickB]

Sorry to hear it Pete. At lease we won't miss your stench wafting around the place

As for backing NSW, what State of Origin game??!?? Forgot it was even on to be honest! Will just have to keep up following the Mighty Bombers in the real football

Sounds good Thomas - still up for splitting that batch?

Cheers

PS: Thought you were tough, Pete... h34r:

Nick won't be getting there until later on in the day. Plus will be driving home that night but still good for the eggs. :icon_cheers:

 

[NickB]

Hmmmmm..................................... WTF Chappo?

If you're not Full 'O' **** and am actually contemplating driving home Chappo, I'd be VERY careful - the cops are pricks around here - especially on Saturday nights.....

Cheers

Just about to head out to get the bacon, one or two kgs? Just wondering what the actual numbers are now, seeing the high fly drop rate I'm beginning to wonder if just a rasher or two might not be enough! LOL

Come-on guys: I'm doing this on Endone with a doc's note not to be vertical at all for the next two weeks (bulging disk impinging on my spine, so lower body function is impaired) so what's your excuse? h34r:

edit: yeah Nick still keen to split the batch.....

 

[TidalPete]

so what's your excuse? h34r:

Don't need an excuse Thomas. Was just giving Nick a touchup. :lol: I'll be there.

[NickB]

Will work on that recipe tonight after I've finished my job-hunting

Cheers

Release the Hounds....

Speaking of hounds, you need a prize winning rootster? h34r:

All kidding aside, my CB order didn't arrive today, and as tomorrow is the local show day I'm not sure if it will be delivered, so probably won't be bringing any EKG.....

 

[NickB]

That's cool, will work on the recipe and get it to you tonight or tomorrow. If you can maybe cover the grain I'll cover the hops? We'll work it out!

Cheers

If your rooster is anything like the one up the road here, he'll be going off at 2AM. If I ever find him I'll be eating well...... h34r:

Sounds good....

I have the BB, but not the others, I think (I'll have to do a physical inventory,need to anyway), I might have some Vienna (Weyermann), but I almost certain I don't have any choc. I do have 25kg of BB pilsner malt though.

The hop schedule is about right, been meaning to get a Landlord going sometime soon anyway so very timely!

I'll let you know exactly what I have and how much in the way of choc/dark malts, but my stout/porter binge has really hit those stocks hard of late. Hmmm I do have a a couple of kg of carawheat (weyermann) not much in the way of colour though from that malt.......

Yeast: I have a slant of Thames Valley II somewhere. Could start breeding it up in the morning if you're interested.

 

[NickB]

That's cool, I have the Munich and Pale Choc, so we can use those. If you could bring the 7.5kg BB Ale, I'll cover the other grains and the hops? We can use my mill if you like

Don't worry about the yeast for me, I've got a couple of strains here, will most likely go the Ringwood I think!

Oh, Pete, do you have any vials of yeast you'd like to swap?

Cheers
