Nsw 2007 X-mas Case Swap

[Stuster]

3. How much room do we need? I may be convinced to do it have to be in the afternoon but.

4. Which end of the horse are you Stu?

3. Woohoo. Good news. And don't forget that the swap host traditionally gets a few extra tasters.

4. My plan was the back, with J.Hawkins in front. :super: h34r:

 

[Steve]

Fat....thanks for offering to pick up my brew for the swap. Stuster has it covered as he is down here regularly. Stuster im sticking with what I brewed last week. Its now in the fridge cc'ing. Should be bottled in a weeks time.
Cheers
Steve

Should be down your way in a couple of weeks, Steve. I'll be in touch when I know exact dates.

I've finally brewed mine and it's chugging away. I changed my mind and went for an English Summer Ale with Fuggles, EKG and Northdown. Going to add some jaggery to it as well tomorrow to keep it rocking along, and some dry hopping with EKG a bit later.

1. I believe we agreed (well, at least it was suggested and nobody said no) that the swap would be on the 1st December.

2. Plan is to swap and go. Seemed to work very well last time.

3. This is the million dollar question. Anybody (in Sydney) willing to be the host for the day?

4. Me. I'm in training and the horse costume is nearly ready.

3. Might be able to combine an ISB Xmas drinkies and the Swap @ my place. Too much in one day???

5. I better get brewing. Unfortunately my AG setup is no where near complete but I'm determined to at least get the kettle up and going so it looks like it's going to be an extract brew (with a full hop boil though).

3. Sounds like we might have a bidding war to be the host. :lol: Sounds like the combination would work well, Gav.

5. Do you want to borrow some (admittedly primitive) gear to do the AG in?

Damn, I was kinda hoping for the second week in December. I got a mates wedding that's reared its ugly head in Nowra on the 1st.

Fat, is there any chance I you might pass the Nowra way or I might be able to meet you somewhere if you are passing though the southern highlands? Or might anybody else be heading that way?

Or maybe can I drop my case off the weekend before and pick it up a week after?

Must say I was looking forward to putting some faces to the names and doing some general brew chat.

 

[crozdog]

Stu, top puttin images in my mind re J. Hawkins :icon_chickcheers: :super:

Gav's combo idea sounds good - dunno if I'd have the space to do both Gav you can borrow any of my rig too if you want.

Monkeybusiness - if Fat can't pickup, you can always drop off/pickup at my place before / after - unless someone closer is more convenient

 

[monkeybusiness]

Thanks crozdog. I'll take you up on the offer if I don't get a better one. I'm sure I can make it worth someone's while to be my gopher with some beery incentives

Seems reasonable to me. Should be able to get a 'backup' brew organised by then if my first beer turns out to be a dud.

 

[Josh]

4. I'm on Master O'Reilly at $13.

Sounds like a plan boys. Now for the Newcastle lads to put their heads together and work out who is going to make the trip to Sydney, and where will the central drop off point in Newy be. I vote Marks?

This stage no one else has taken up the offer. So I'll come straight up the coast and collect from you if you like. Probably do it Friday night and stay with Mummy at the "Gong Friday night. Anyone in Wollongong wanting a lift or collection on Saturday, contact me. Plenty of room in the minibus and likely return to Gong for the Saturday night. Assume all you Gong boys will be at Bulli in a fortnight so can organise then. Monkeybusiness, PM your address.

 

[SJW]

So what is the official Sydney address for the drop off on 1st December?

 

[crozdog]

At this stage it'll be at either my place in Croydon Park or Flopinab's over in Earlwood. We have over a month to finalise it so don't start panicking yet.

 

[Tony]

I may be able to help with the trip from newey to sydney but its my brothers birthday and i think things may be planned for the 1st so dont count on me.

I have a holden ute if that would be big enough?

will find out but like i said.... no promises

cheers

 

[SJW]

I guess we need to wait and see how many from newy are in the swap.

 

[SJW]

This is my Blond Belgian Strong going nuts since Sunday.
I have cleaned up the lid and air lock 3 times now from boil overs. Love it!

 

[Tony]

try doing this mate...... its tidier

cheers

 

[Tony]
