Qld Xmas Case Swap 2007

[NickB]

Ahh, bummer Batz, too bad you're gonna miss mate. Have really been meaning to catch up since the last swap...hell, you ARE only a few K's away!

I've just tasted my swap entry, and well, I'm a bit disappointed.... Got an order from Craftbrewer coming, so will most likely fire out another quick brew, and have it fermented and bottled by the 1st.... As long as everyone can hold off for a few weeks while it conditions, we should all be good.....

Cheers!

CASE SWAP UPDATE
Hey guys,
I have been doing some rough calculations on spendings for the day..
The Pig should be between $175-$200
heatbeads/ firewood etc.- $70
Potatobake and and other non-green additions - $20-$30
Breakfast
Bacon 1-2kg - $15-20 (should be some pig leftover to heat up but better safe than sorry)
Eggs - 3 dozen - $10
Mushies, Hashbrowns, Tomatoes, etc - $25
Paperplates, knives and forks (renae found some decent ones this time) -$45
Condiments - $10

As you can see we are just over the $400 mark..
If i ask for $15 per head it could be cutting it fine..
(on the chance i have forgotten something or half a dozen people suddenly drop out,or the price of pig,tomatoes or eggs go through the roof.)
So i am making it $20 a head...
and if on the day everything goes to plan cash wise, we invest the rest in a box of prawns seeing how we sadly wont have Ned's tasty Bounty this year...(depending on what a box is worth)
All in favor say Aye...

Sqyre..

Lettuce for Zizzle.....99c
Carrot for Zizzle......50c


God damn them hippies are cheap to feed..... :lol:



I might have a few lettuce ready by the meet, so if they are, I will bring some. Cant beat organic home grown lettuce...

Sqyre...

I've got a tin of Farmland Lager spare for the brew session. What pot do I pour it into? Have you got an electric blanket and some sugar? :icon_cheers:

Cheers,

InCider.

 

[Wrenny]

I'll be there from about 5:30-6:00 am to help get the pig underway.

Also wasn't happy with the Nelson Pale Ale, so I have just put a new brew in to ferment. It'll be bottled by the swap, but along with a few others, you might have to wait a couple of weeks to drink.

It'll be an All Grain "Armadillo Pale Ale". Makes the label so much easier too. That prize is mine, Ross, Mine.

I'm pretty stoked with the name. I bet nobody has thought of calling a Pale Ale with heaps of Amarillo Hops an "Armadillo Pale Ale" before. Yep, real lateral thinking there.


Cheers,
Wrenny

LIST UPDATE

Thanks Wrenny, I will list you as Cofirmed.
and PaulH has also informed me he cant make it..

Sqyre...

 

[winkle]

I'm going to be a ****** and have to wait until next week to confirm although I will get there and watch Incider buggering up a beer on the Stairway at the very least.
Currently have bottled up the Acerola Pale - really got my fingers crossed at the moment since the fruit flavour is all over the place, bottle conditioning will hopefully mellow it out :unsure: . Note to self - don't do an experimental beer for a case swap!

Can i also get everyone to sart giving me Confirmations when they know they are DEFINATELY attending please..

Thanks

Mark me down as definite and bringing Zizzle along with me - I do like salads myself, although I did cut the locks a few years ago now.

I found out the price for the Large Ocean Prawns i had at the work BBQ..$28 a kg..(nice big lady finger bannana sized ones)
Which will only get us a few kilos depending on numbers and last year Neds box was 12kg (i think)
and i think i have to order them as well...
the other option is to go and see what woolies have on special come the swap day.. :unsure:

so depending how the swap numbers go...
A small amount of Nice Big Prawns OR a Poo Load of small Woolies prawns..

Unless someone out there knows someone with a trawler or works in a seafood market?

Sqyre... :blink:

 

[Batz]

yes remember prawns? Remember Ned?
Who drives a million KM to join us? And supplies prawns?

I'll will kick off by chucking in $10.00 (in fact I'll pay for Neds case) to get a swap case to Ned,even try to get a beer into it, myself mate :icon_chickcheers:
and I can't make the swap

A report on the ABC recently gave the thumbs down to Woollies prawns Brucey. They reckoned that as they are mostly imported from polluted waters in SE Asia we might be getting more than we paid for if you get my drift?
If you get the Woollies prawns you can have my share gratis.

Nothing wrong with the Mighty Ned's Gulf prawns. :super: Going to miss you at the Swap Ned.
