Qld - Mini Case Swap April 2009

[chappo1970]

Bump and Update Lads!

Firstly Altstart where are ya mate? You still in?

I would like to have firm numbers and attendee's by Thursday guys so I can get the catering worked out. So if ya want be part of the fun now is the time to put ya hat in the ring. You don't have to be in the case swap to come along. Ya just need to have a sense of humour and an interest in brewing beer. Might help if you like sheep apparently?

I'm still after a brew buddy for the brew day in the morning of the case swap so if your keen to learn something (all wrong and how not to do it) then put your hand up now as I want to get the grains/hops from Ross. You just need to bring $20 (half the cost of grains and hops) and a 25lt cube to put your share of the spoils into.
I will be doing a pommy brewers brew "Shive Talking" (cheers Wez :icon_cheers: )

Cheers big ears I knew I could count on ya mate! Now I know you don't have the fermenter space for all this wort because I noticed yesterday that... dumt da dahhhhhhh! You had fermenters actually fermenting beer. WTF Sully? Totally out of character for you h34r: .

BATZ MAY YOU HAVE A THOUSAND INFECTED BREWS YOU *******!!!

She has arrived on friday just gone.

Pretty funny actually SWMBO got said parcel from our local Aust Post contractor who happens to be a friend. She saw the little message Batz left on the front <_< thinking it was a rouse. She tore it open in front of our friend thinking I had bought yet more stuff for the brewery and was shocked to find Baa bra. She had to ring me ASAP to asked why I bought a blow up sheep? So I had to explain the QLD mascot thing, she thinks it's a crack up actually. Got a great shot of SWMBO with very unhappy look on her face.

InCider I believe you are very familiar with that look from Lissa, No?



Thanks for the stickers Batz I now feel like I'm with the "in crowd" as every 2nd AHB/BABBS has a Batz Brewery sticker on their car!

Great !
Nice to get my own back after Brucey's attempt




I was so happy about sending it off I really didn't realize what I had done, until the post office girl looked at me and said " Don't like her anymore then ?" There I was smiling like a hop flower too :unsure:

[chappo1970]

+1 InCider but I figured you could do with some fresh meat.

BTW gary is a Hells Angels soldier 6'8" and built like a brick shyte house and likes scared weedy guys apparently? Long bay jail or something?

Bring on the gimp!

Likes Heines BTW!

Hi All,

I was down at CraftBrewer today and Ross told me about your meet on this weekend. I don't actually have any brew ATM as I'm just starting out, so I won't be able to do any swapping.

A little about myself - I'm living at the Gold Coast ATM, Im primarily interested in brewing Belgian Ales, but also keen on Witbeers and good pale ales. Truth be told, I can appreciate most beers I'm currently on my second brew: a Brugse Triple Clone which has been bubbling away for about 15 hrs now. Smelling much better than my first attempt, which was a complete flop!

Is there still a place free?
