Qld Xmas case Swap 2014- 6 Dec

[bradsbrew]

Great night and company. Needed all 8hp on the pressure washer to get rid of some of the beer and food. Was good to catch up with the regulars and also meet some new brewers.
Big thanks to Martin for the grainfather demo, just about to put the results into the fermenter.
The attempted hostile take over of the chair of the board was hilarious.

I think Liam's snorkel is stained into the whiteboard. Did any one get a pic of it?

Agreed, special thanks to Brad it was a great venue and good company (the breakfast was appreciated too). Nice to meet all you gents at last.

Let us know if Ben turns up somewhere...

He surfaced in the nick of time (before his lift vamoosed). Good to meet you guys and thanks for the use of your esky ice to chill my red eye energy drinks this morning - the brain really needed jump starting.
How popular was the edited artwork Florian?

Thanks for hosting, Brad. Good to catch up with the regulars and meet a few newbies.

Shame I couldn't stay longer, but honestly, even after only 4 1/2 hours there I was feeling it this morning.

And thanks to Sav for finding the wandering iPod from 2 1/2 years ago. Can't believe it still works!

Until the next one.

It was Martin's demo Grainfather, it's already done close to 50 brews. Good bit of kit, can't wait for mine to turn up.

Thanks again for hosting Brad, was a big night only just starting to feel normal again. Thanks to all the brewers also, the quality of the beers I tasted was impressive

Who was it that was wandering about with a bottle of cream ale later in the evening? I'm not real familiar with the style but that brew stands out in my foggy memory (along with a few others) as a really nice drop. I want to PM them and bother them for the recipe...

 

[seehuusen]

Cream ale might have been me, I brought with and without lime infusion

Did anyone pick up an extra ball lock beer disconnect with JG fitting?

 

[kegs23]

Pretty slack of me not to do this earlier, but many thanks to our great host Brad for offering a fantastic venue for us to destroy. misbehave in.

First time that I didn't stay over night at a swap, but after 4 hours of trampolining at a christmas party the next day I was very thankful I didn't, although I hated getting picked up when everything was in full swing.

Some great beers were had, namely Perry's apricot sour, some other sour (I think from beersuit), that randall IPA and many others.

Looking forward to the next one, I also feel that I lost a bit of my brewing slackness after the event. Brewed on Monday and already planning the next one.

Hope the FIL wasn't to unimpressed by the artwork on the whiteboard.

 

[Florian]

He took it with pride... MIL got a good laugh out of it too.


EDIT: Just got the weirdest AHB error message: "This reply has not been added as it has been posted too quickly" WTF?

 

[HBHB]

Many thanks To Brad for hosting and everyone else for participating. Great venue for it. Next day was a big one for me with a lot of miles travelled and while disappointed to have to miss most of the fun, was glad to have a clear head at 5:00am

Looking forward to the next swap.

Hope the FIL wasn't to unimpressed by the artwork on the whiteboard.

Are you referring to the "Liam's Snorkel" graphic?
