Good excuse to drink it & put down another :chug:

Well it got a silver Ross , and had another the other day and liked it.
Tidalpete took one with him to his mates as well,( after a quick visit to Batz Brewery) , got good reports.
So that's what your getting

[nonicman]

It'll be an English style bitter from this neck of the woods.

 

[Ross]

Sounds good Batz I'll be splitting mine between a Schwarzbier & an Oktoberfest. Got 2 of each lagering as we speak, will pick the best 2 in a fortnights time for the case...

 

[Batz]

My smokie Porter as well Ross


Gunna be a big night mate :beer: :beerbang: :super:

Batz

 

[Ross]

Kegged & filtered 5 brews today...

Made 2 x Oktoberfest & 2 x Schwarzbier - Taste testing the kegs now, trying to decide which will be the xmas case choice :chug:

Mmmmmm... Oktoberfest chosen - Going back for another opinion on the Schwarz

Hi guys,

I didn't want to do this, but I'm going to have to pull out of the christmas case

We moved 6 weeks ago, and despite the best laid plans, the AG setup is still in storage, and looks about 2 weeks away from seeing the light of day - and that just doesn't give me time to get the brew done. I had hoped to get it out this weekend, but its a no go.

I hope this doesn't black-ban me for next year!

Apologies again,

Matt

mobrien, you don't have to do an AG for your contribution, why not just do a simple K+K, atleast this way your still in and get to enjoy others brews..

No dramas about that, I have too only recently moved (while longer then you though) and really didn't find I had enough time to get the brew I wanted so I'm afraid that my contribution is not my best work.. but **** happens.

next year I'll plan ahead.

Cheers

 

[Jye]

mobrien, if you do pull out I will happily take your place, I am kicking myself I didn't jump in at the beginning.

Cheers
Jye

 

[Hoops]

Due to work I haven't breweed in over 2 months and wasn't happy with my 1st APA so today is the day. I have just fired the HLT up, cracked the grain yesterday and the 1056 starter is going great guns.

Mobrien,

If you would still like to do a beer, I'm more than happy for you to come down & brew one on my set-up if that helps? - Otherwise, let Jye take your place - your choice.
Either way, hope you are still on for the day? - It's not restricted to the case swap members...

P.S. Did you want any hops in the bulk buy? It's closing soon...

 

[mobrien]

Jye: The spot is all yours! Enjoy! That works out well.

Ross: Thanks for the offer, but time is also the issue! I'm building a shed, and have to have the drive done by next weekend... This new house business is fun, but it sure takes time! I'll still be at the brewday - that square on the calandar has been filled for a while! I'm right for hops at the moment, thanks for the offer - I'll jump in next time when I am set up again!

Matt

 

[Ross]

Ok Jye - looks like you're in mate ...

 

[Jye]

Cheers mobrien,

Looks like I will be bringing an APA and Honey Wheat since thats what I have fermenting at the moment, the APA should be good but unfortunately there isnt enough for 32 bottles so you will have to suffer with the untested honey wheat

Can't wait
Jye :beer:

 

[Brizbrew]

Nice to see this thread popping up again. Everytime I go under the house now I see the bottles ready for the Xmas case swap and it fills me with dread because these are only my second AG and I only made enough for the case so I have not even tested them. :unsure: You are my guinea pigs :super:

Looking forward to meeting you all in a months time.

It wasn't my fault :angry:

Oh, I see - you mean the really short SA guy :lol:

[Batz]

Bad news....well bad news for me , perhaps good news for you lot

I can't make the Xmas Case swap , have to go away for work

Sorry Ross , I hope you all have a good one.

Batz,

Bugger - That's a real shame - I trust you're still in the case swap though?
should be pretty easy to get yours collected/delivered before the day & then we can arrange pickup/delivery when you get back??

Cheers Ross

 

[AndrewQLD]

I would be happy to pick up and drop off Batz's Xmas case when i come down from Bundaberg. And I could even take his case back as well.

Cheers Andrew
