Further to my last post, I should still be able to contribute to the swap, just not able to make it to the event. I'll talk to someone from my side of twon who's attending and see if they can fit the extra bottles in their vehicle.
Cheers
Stephen.

 

[Batz]

Well the keg I am bringing is ready

Check out the new stickers Warb did for me! I can't wait to stick these babies around the place! :lol:

Perfect size for my new windscreen Batz.

Very sorry to see you can't make it Stephen. You still recovering from Indy or something?

Have adjusted list below to include Wildayeast and his virgin AG. He still needs to confirm his leave pass which I've asked him to do, like now! One slight problem. He didn't think he was getting into the Swap so they are in 500ml Grolsch bottles. I'm sure the bottle quality will make up the 250mls. Have also put NO FOOD beside sjc.

[Screwtop]

Getting closer...

Guess who owns the shoe?...

Jeez Sean, I shoulda picked that leg. I'd know his bones in a stew! think that shoe is hanging round the house here somewhere.

Well here is my Weihenstephan Weizen contribution to the case.

Tried it this evening and boy am I pleased. Patch, you can now tag it ready to drink now. The label will indicate that it is ready to drink now and suggest that it be rolled prior to pouring as it is a hefe and is meant to be served cloudy, plenty of banana and clove in this one and well carb'd now ready to enjoy, a real summer quaffer.

Roll it alright <_<

Bloody oversensitive Triticumphobe's

 

[PistolPatch]

You should have seen that one coming Scewtop - lol.

By the way, the 4 kegs that Brad and I were going to bring has now dropped to 2 thanks to a dodgy recipe from Batz (Just joking Batz) No, we brewed this one in a rush and didn't have time to use the correct yeast or fermentation temps. It was just an experiment to compare BIAB versus batch and served its purpose. The beer is bloody awful but we'll save some for Screwtop's party keg

The 2 kegs we are bringing are full of a nice English Bitter. For those interested, we can set up some triangular tests on the day and you can see what differences, if any, there are between the beer batched and the one BIABed. Be great if everyone particpates in this as the feedback would be invaluable.

Have adjusted Screwtops consumption date below. Put it in your diary Batz!

Thats tops thanks mate..



Greg,

Anytime you like buddy. some are showing up early 9am. some lunch time. some arvo.



Also can everyone who is bringing a keg that isn't self-contained let me know

as i have 7 taps working but if we end up with more i need to organise some more fittings for my other 3 tap fridge.( i forgot i pinched the keg post connections off it for the font)

If there is less than 7 i wont worry about it.

[bconnery]

I don't know if my '16. C bconnery- some kind of ale (Can be consumed immediatley.)' counts as a possible but it can be updated to ESB at the next list update...

 

[Screwtop]

Sqyre, I'm bringing a 3 gal keg self contained except for a reg, if someone has a spare.

 

[AndrewQLD]
