Nsw 2007 X-mas Case Swap

[Fatgodzilla]

the usual coopers, vb, carlton longnecks....i think they are 750ml? screw tops

Ditto. Some of them are even that bigger 800ml bottle VB was coming in. Hard to find large crown seal bottles these days unless I buy Coopers.

Good to see you back Steve. That empty number 9 slot was looking sad and lonely.

Cheers Fatz. I know what you mean, I couldnt bare looking at the list without my name on it. I gave in last night after a few jugs :chug:

P.S.
That Nana looks as though shes just about to burst a blood vessel

Just for the record mine will be 750ml crown tops.

I managed to get 20 old style solid green crowntopped 750ml longies from my local brewshop for $20. I'd managed to save up around 20 random longies over the past couple of months on top of that.

 

[Tony]

Bottled the Sheep Shagger this arvo.

28 bottles for you lot....... 28 bottles for me.

Mannnnnnnn..... almost filled a schooner from the firmenter. It smells and tastes fantastic.

I hope you all like it.

cheers

 

[Stuster]

Looking forward to it, Tony. :super:

Mine is waiting for me to bottle it. Ah, it'll do it good to have a few more days dry hopping.

 

[Tony]

mine didnt need more hops...... believe me :lol:

cheers

 

[Trent]

Just about to dry hop mine, hope it comes out OK.

[Tony]

Bloody bottling!

Cheers
Steve

:lol: thought the same thing last night

glad i dont do it all the time any more.

cheers

 

[SJW]

Well, my 8 year old helped me put stickers on top of all my bottles, identifying them for you all. One thing is for sure they are well conditioned. Some have been bottled for over 6 months.

Same beer, but I re-read the style guidelines.

 

[Steve]

bloody typical! 27.5 longnecks! I was wringing it dry but just couldnt get 28. I'll keep the .5 yeast dreg longneck and will chuck in something else to make up 28.
Cheers
Steve

I HATE BOTTLING!

You can mark the half bottle as yours to make sure you get that one back along with 27 others

Similar to Oblomov I just thought a bit about what actually went into the fermenter. It's no where near an ESB but should be nice English Bitter all the same.

 

[nifty]

All right, I've just put my esb in the fermentor.

[Oblomov]

I entered a bottle of the swap beer in my first ever competition. 3rd place! Best thing is that these belgians only improve with age.

 

[Gulpa]

Well done Oblomov. Looking forward to trying it.

I put my APA down yesterday. My first AG and it looks to have gone well except it I dont think it will be as hoppy has Id hoped. Im not convinced hop socks work well for aroma hops.
