Only two stouts there .. I'm guessing this means you don't like DRINKING stouts ! What's the matter with you man :rolleyes:

At least if this category was selected, you could brew the any of the IPAs.

Or we could make it four smaller swaps (max 12-14 btls) all under the one swap umbrella - give us a bit of a challenge on bottle swapping day . With plenty of notice Id probably go for 2 or 3 of those categories.

Not quite sure what your saying here Andrew. No reason not to enter more than one style, as I'm guessing others will do the same. I'm also guessing we won't get too many swappers here UNLESS we get people to brew who haven't been in the past few swaps.

Seeing what's being rejected, I think I might just grab my bat & ball and go home!
Coun't me out of this one, Cheers lads

Never say never Pete. This si take the brew to another level chance. Otherwise, you are still expected to come through at the other two swaps !
 
Sounds like an excellent idea, count me in. I'd vote for brewers choice for a defined list of styles.
 
I'm in for any of the styles still up for grabs.

The Sweet Stout I'm brewing today will have to stay on tap here for my own enjoyment :chug:
 
Following further discussions & PMs, I reckon consensus was made on the following

1. Remove stouts - get a few of them in the case swaps

2. Remove Barleywine - they really should have a longer time in secondary to develop flavours better (try one for side bar swaps, but not part of the mainstream

3. There were a few who said remove the Belgians as a far number of brewers already do them. However I've never done one.

Got to be cruel to be kind.

Therefore do we let you pick one from the three categories below, or pick a category at random.

Thoughts ?


13. INDIA PALE ALE
13.1 English IPA
13.2 American IPA
13.3 Imperial IPA

B.
14. STRONG ALE (>6% ABV)
14.1 Old Ale (English Strong Ale)
14.2 Strong Scotch Ale
14.3 English Barley wine
14.4 American Barley wine both out as need too long to be in secondary to be drinkable in Easter

C
15. BELGIAN STRONG ALE (>6% ABV)
15.1 Belgian Blond Ale
15.2 Belgian Strong Golden Ale
15.3 Tripel
15.4 Dubbel
15.5 Belgian Strong Dark Ale

Extra incentive to do one then eh Fatz?

Out of the list you have there I'd say IPA or Belgian Strong is a go.

As much as i'd love to have a swap involving Olds and Wee Heavy's, by my reckoning, they're just too uncommon a style for most to really attempt with confidence.
Strictly from a commercial point of view here, there are very few in that style available on the market, which makes comparisons difficult.

As for IPA and Belgian Strong, dozens on the market, some good, some amazing.
More importantly, there's plenty of freedom with the styles...IPA you can mess around with hops, Belgian you can mess around with yeasts and malts.
 
To go against the grain, I would say Baltic Porter is a fantastic one to include.

I will be doing Belgian Blonde ales soon in an attempt to clone Leffe for my GF. That style would get me to actually make a start.
 
hey guys which one of those would a braggot fit in to?
still thinking of one.

Ummm, none of them. :rolleyes: :ph34r:

Braggot is in the mead category and for some reason FGZ didn't include that in his thinking.


Actually, I guess it's just not something that many people make (though I've made two so far - or at least made one and fermented another one :beerbang: ).

I vote we go with those two - IPA and Belgian Strongs. One of those randomly picked to be the style.

Can't think of any reason to reject this one ... much :rolleyes:

Okay, let's make this one easy. Brew from either the IPAs or the Belgium Strongs .

If we get insufficient names and under the assumption most of those entering are likely to be relatively large brewers. (not talking about Schooey & myself .. large as in volume brewed) then its possible to enter two brews - preferably one from either category. How's that sound.

Better still, anyone object to the notion that you must supply a bottle from both categories ? One IPA and one BS ! A good test of your brewing skills and a chance to boost the number of beers we swap. We have about 8 months before the swap, you can't complain about a lack of preparation time now can you ?

So, who's in. Put your name down and we'll transfer this to the wiki next week if enough interst warrants proceeding.

If we're going two bottles of such a big beer, I think we should limit the numbers, maybe to 12?

See who comes along - but no more than 14 names. You supply then 13 bottles of IPA and 13 bottles of Belgian Strong. Shouldn't be a problem in eight months.
