QLD AHB Xmas Case 2005

[Batz]

Batz, I forget your advice on this matter. Your recent hospitality has destroyed approx half of my memory cells.

Have you been to my place?

Batz :lol:

 

[altstart]

Is it too late to put my hand up for this. Ive only just found this thread. I live local to Ross and would be more than willing to assist with the organisation side as well. It is an excellent idea.
Cheers Altstart

 

[Ross]

Sept 1st was the consensus for cut off, so welcome altstart - Snow have you got names for friends A & B? Are they starters?

So a 24L batch needed for a single brew (16 x 750ml) or 2 x12L.

OK been away for 2 weeks and looks like I've missed a bit, where do I start.....
I am still planning on doing an Amarillo APA but with 17 people & counting I might need to do a double batch.
For those unsure of what to brew I don't think anyone will be too concerned if we get 2 of the same type of beer, I mean if I get 4 tallies of Witbier or stout I won't be complaining

Nonicman - I picked up a heap of XXXX tallies on the way home today from a recycling place so I have a heap if you want some (Screwtop though - is that kosher?)

Batz - I would love some more of that smoked porter so feel free to put some in the Xmas case.

Ross - hope to be there at the brew day and will definitely crash if there's room somewhere. Looking foward to it.

Better get brewing soon.
Everyone else know what they're brewing yet?

Tidalpete - chilli beer or dry stout

I know you love my Chilli Hoops,

but my "Suprise" for the Xmas Case may well be a London Ale (My last partial before my big AG debut). Depends on how my first effort, which is now 3 weeks old, tastes in a few days?

:beer:

 

[Ross]

Room inside for everyone - plenty of floor space - that's if anyone wants to sleep...

I really want to get to this one at your place Ross & am trying to get out of a trip away about the same time. It's looking good though & I will know for sure in a week or two. I will need some of that floor space you mentioned.

Where did you get those new (thick walled) carboard cartons from Batz? :blink:

Re-asking an earlier question that got no response (unless I missed it)...

Is there a preference to primed bottles, or are people equally happy with freshly bottled "force carbonated"??

I'm happy doing either, just think my kegs produce a better quality beer than my bottle primed, & I'm not making a beer benefitting from long term cellering...

Any thoughts??...

Ross,
It makes no difference to me what method of carbonation is used. If it makes it easier for you I will just take the kegs off your hands to save you all that time consuming bottling :lol:

Cheers

I'm easy Ross. I think that it's a matter of personal choice. If you think your beer will be better "force carbonated", then do it. I don't think that anyone is going to worry too much.

Ross, if you are happy drinking my bottled conditioned lot, than I am happy drinking your force carbonated. I have no choice, I brew an AG batch, but I bottle prime at this stage. By the way, put me down for a floor space as well please...
