NSW AHB Xmas Case 2005

[shmick]

Shmick,

I should be able to deliver mine to your place to reduce your freight as I work nearby. Could perhaps help with freight of some of the others from Marks depending on timing of my visits up there.

Cheers

Fine with me Borret - good chance to catch up if we can get the timing right.

BTW my 'transport' works just around the corner from Mark's, so picking up from there isn't a problem - squeezing them all into a small (toy) car and peddling down the freeway will be interesting.

 

[Doc]

Here is the plan with all items up to #6 to occur around Nov 26.

1. PoL is will be delivering to Linz.
2. Aparently Beerslayer (in Bexley) is cool to be a drop off point, so all the Southern and SouthWestern guys get their entries to Beerslayer.
3. All the Northern and NorthWestern guys get their entries to Duff (Baulkham Hills).
4. All the Central Coast/Newcastle guys get their entries to Shmicks (maybe via Marks Homebrew).
5. Someone will need to do a run from Beerslayers to Duffs.
6. I'll help Duff assemble the majority of the cases, then do a run with the appropriate number of entries to Borret and assemble the Central Coast/Newcastle entries, returning to Duff's with the Central Coast/Newcastle entries to complete the cases at Duff's.
7. Then the Northern and NorthWestern guys can pickup from Duff and a dropoff needs to be made back to Beerslayer for the Southern and SouthWestern guys.
8. We all enjoy our NSW Xmas Case.

Sound like a plan ?

Doc

Updated for locations and change from Borret to Shmick as the CC/Newie drop off point.

 

[Borret]

Doc,
as per above shmicks place is alot closer again (1/2 hr) to you than mine and he works near Marks so 'beer logisitcs' might be easier through him. Failing that I don't mind doing something depending on our timing but the former makes more sense.
Keith (from Marks, who I know will read this cause he's a sly and anonymous lurker ) said they don't mind helping out as suggested ..... but..... will require a one bottle levy from the newcastle guys :lol: Sounds fair to me.

Sounds good Borret.

5. Someone will need to do a run from Beerslayers to Duffs.

I may be able to help out there as well, as I work in the south west (Camden). Travel up and down each day so will be able to transport a few cases.

Cheers.


Edit: Maybe not if it's near Peakhurst! Perhaps an organised drop off point somewhere along the way for the southerners would be fine.

 

[Doc]

BeerSlayer is at Bexley which is near Arncliffe.
Does that make a difference Duff ?

Hey guys all sounds great, it's amazing what can be achieved when a group of brilliant minds come together.....especially when there's sweet liquor involved. I am more than happy to help with sorting or whatever else needs doing, just let me know.

For the record my beer is what I'm hoping to be a porter style. I was gonna do a partial mash - I have tried my hand at a couple with ok results - but the hbs guy talked me out of it (for this style) so it's a kit and bits with some steeped chocolate grain and some fuggles added. Apologies if it's a bit boring but I wanted to make sure I made something well within my capabilities (11th brew to date) and I knew would taste ok. Anyhoo it's fermenting away nicely and should be bottled within a couple of weeks. I'm really looking forward to trying everybody else's beers.

Cheers

Well I guess that's sorted then :lol:

Just bottled mine. OG: 1.050 FG 1.008 over 80% attenuation with the WLP029. Should be a good beer so am brewing another today along with an Australian Ale.

Cheers.

Guys...
this may have been covered earlier, but i'll ask anyway.
whats the protocol with labeling? are we all following a similar code or what..?? what happens?
are we just labeling the crown seal with our 'handle''.? or is something else used.???

 

[Doc]

Anyway you want KoNG.
Preferrably with your name on it somewhere so we know it is yours.

Beers,
Doc

 

[Linz]

Also, anyone in the East that cant get over to Bexley or Baulkham Hills ; sing out and I can swing by a move it for you...

Hi There,

I'm under the Sydney column. Will drop off at Linz's. Is it ok if I do a Cascade APA, not quite at the stage of AG, so I'll do a fresh wort kit, if okay???????

Cheers,
Jase

 

[redbeard]

sounds fine by me jase.

 

[Borret]

Well my third AG child.... the Christmas Case MILD..... has finally been brewed. Fingers crossed it's a goodun' for all your sakes.
Looking good so far.

Cheers

Borret

 

[Samwise Gamgee]

Xmas Case brew has been brewed!

And the best part so far is that, brew day (AG #2) went without a hitch!

And I did yield enough this time for the Xmas case

Was surprised to have a small boilover out of a 50L vessel.
Now to find about 6 more longnecks


Was a great day over all especially as I had my first AG on tap!
(Thanx Ross for the tips on extra quick carbonation! :beer: )

 

[nifty]

Bottled mine yesterday, an aussie pale ale sort of..

Tastes pretty good out of the fermenter, nice colour. Looking forward to tasting it again in a couple of weeks.

cheers

nifty

 

[Weizguy]

Just about ready to bottle the Berliner/Medowie weisse... Next cuppla days anyhow.

Hope it's OK to break the rules by using 800ml bottles rather than the standard 750 ml. My brother has a lot of VB longys, you see. Prefers them to mine, and all! :blink:

Will be bottled with 2 litres of the unfermented brew (speise, as the Germans call it).

Party on. I'm starting to become thirsty. :chug:

[PostModern]

I'm brewing a brown porter tonight. How many bottles do we need again?

 

[Doc]

There are 24 of us, so 23 will be beers from others and the 24th will be yours.
Two cases worth Pomo.

Beers,
Doc
