Qld Xmas 2012 Case Swap..Venue Changed

[_HOME_BREW_WALLACE_]

Its getting awfully tight numbers wise for the pig on the spit to happen successfully.

I am going to have to get the guys who are still coming to pay in advance as i cant afford to buy everthing up front as the company i work for has decided to axe a few hundred jobs and there is aposability that i might be unemployed come swap day.

The other option is we forget the pig and just order a few pizzas with moneys collected on the night.

Or everyone can bring something and we can have a massive bbq and we can do some stuff in my big barrel smoker.
(homemade pizzas are awesome done in the smoker.)

Sqyre...

I'm easy mate, whatever is easiest for you and Renae - you don't have to go all out feeding a bunch of drunks!

Happy to pay in advance if needed , or chip in for pizza or bring something.

When you decide let me know!

Cheers

More than happy to do whatever. Personally, I dont eat much when i drink..... or is that Drink much when i eat?? :unsure:

[stillscottish]

How about a couple of boneless pork roasts. Would the smoker handle them?

 

[Batz]

boneless pork

Not likely at a swap mate, well perhaps the older guys. :lol:

 

[stillscottish]

And to think I deliberately didn't make any tasteless "pork" comments for fear of lowering the tone of the discussion.

Shame, shame, shame.

It might be time to change the thread tittle Brad.

How about Qld Xmas 6 pack swap


PS. I would love to be there but I have a prior commitment to a monster Xmas party.

 

[sqyre]

I do like Campbells idea...
I have done 3 whole rumps on the spit at once which was a shit load of meat and took a quarter of the time to cook.
We could do a big arse kebab with a large pork roast next to a whole rump with a couple of chooks strapped on for the Muslims...
Or maybe even chuck a bit of lamb on too...

I dont mind cookin stuff but i need some cash up front for big items (30kg pig) which with about 20 guys is a bit of over kill.
And before anyone asks about a smaller pig, they actually get more expensive the smaller they are.

But hey, if no ones gunna cry over no pig then im easy..

Sqyre..

 

[Florian]

I have to say I was looking forward to the pig but get that it might be a bit uneconomical with tight numbers, so happy to go with whatever is most convenient and tasty.

Also happy to pay in advance what's needed to make this a great event.

I like the sound of a bit of a sleep in Light the fire @06:00 instead of 04:00 is a win with me Lol ..Lamb & pork joints sound good I eat beef all bloody year ...

Ezy anyway you decide mate ...

Very disappointed with the dropouts , but you get that on big jobs .

 

[Aydos]

So does that mean i only have to bottle 12 beers now? I don't have anything else to bring (beerwise) should i just bring a carton of something instead? Do we need to bring a plate of something or is that covered by the $20?

 

[NickB]

At this stage, 13 beers (bring one for yourself - makes it easy for those running the swap), not sure if there's a cutoff and what it is....

If you can't bring a keg or a few bottles to share, a carton or a few commercials will be fine, but I'm sure there will be heaps of beers there.... If you can keg and don't have the other gear, I can lend you some gas, and probably a bronco tap as well....

Let me know!

As for food, talk to Sqyre - I'm not sure what the go is but last I could see we would still go the $20 and there would be something on the spit, plus other food. I'm sure there would be no issue with bringing other food if you wanted!

Cheers

 

[NickB]

For those who haven't been to a QLD swap before, the preferred bottling method is in PETs - This stems from at least one incident in previous swaps where a glass bottle has been the cause of an injury.....


Cheers

 

[Florian]

I'd go a step further... Not that I'm involved in the swapping bit this year...

Awesome work Florian...
