Qld Xmas case Swap 2014- 6 Dec

[seehuusen]

Aren't they 740ml those homebrew bottles?
In any case, yep, those PET bottles should be the go for everyone mate

 

[Donske]

Cool I'm in. 750ml?

Aren't they 740ml those homebrew bottles?
In any case, yep, those PET bottles should be the go for everyone mate

Rules are normally 740ml PET bottles, I believe this is to prevent the risks involved with glass beer and possible stuck ferments/infections.

[seehuusen]

just thinking, coz I had a fair few bottles to clean today... Can we ban sticker labels on the bottles? they are a pain in the neck to get off :angry2:

No. I would prefer to see a best label comp for the day. The winner doesn't get an atomic wedgie and last place getter has to give give themselves an atomic wedgie whilst dancing to wombil playing river dance on his flute.

 

[Florian]

Agree, stickers are part of the fun, people go to great effort in designing them (well, some at least).

Just leave them on the bottles when you wash them as a reminder of that **** swap beer you once had h34r:

Obviously my vote doesn't count as I'm not in the swap, so feel free to ignore.

You got in too quick Florian, before my edit. I reckon you should go in the swap.

 

[Snow]

Florian, you have wigged out on too many swaps of late. Time for you to man up and commit!!

Honestly, the last swap was the best yet. These guys are getting better! :kooi:

Re the labels - I like labels but I hate cleaning them off. So I'm sitting on the fence. h34r:

 

[earle]

Some of the labels in the last swap were taped on rather than glued.

 

[seehuusen]

I probably just sooked coz I had a bunch of other labels to get rid of LOL at Brads response haha

 

[manson81]

Ooh, I'll be keen to get involved in the swap this time, but I'll be at the cricket at the gabba on the 6th December.

 

[angus_grant]

No. I would prefer to see a best label comp for the day. The winner doesn't get an atomic wedgie and last place getter has to give give themselves an atomic wedgie whilst dancing to wombil playing river dance on his flute.

Or maybe they could do some silent dancing to my silent bagpipe playing?
Or they could make bagpipe noises whilst I play silently?

Of course while giving themselves an atomic wedgie!!!!

::Scottish-Fail:: My great grand-father would have probably cursed me for being a Campbell and chopped my head off.

 

[manson81]

Bugger it, count me in. If I can't make it on the day, I'll work something out to drop off and pick up the swap beers

[wombil]

Maybe I can make it.
Am practicing the river dance.

 

[Florian]

yay, Nick is in!

Still have to tell you that crazy story from my visit to the bowls club toilet at Perry's... seeing you introduced me to it but disappeared before I reappeared.

 

[TidalPete]

I was in the bowls club dunny a few years back Flo.

Is Nickster's siggy still on the side of the bowl (the one in the dunny I mean).

Good to see you sign up Nick. :super:

 

[NickB]

Thanks gents. Well, not sure I want to know, Florian.....

And I only saw this thread a few days back - been a bit sidetracked with work and my last bit of TAFE... Capstone done now just waiting until end of Jan....

And don't worry pete, I'm sure I can 'tag' you with a nice permanent marker whilst you snore away this year....

Hey guys, my mates I brew with have been slack and left there Christmas brewing (Our little internal competition) to the next 2 months (Fridge only fits one fermenter) so unfortunately I doubt I will be able to brew the IPA i wanted too so I've decided to pull out Hopefully will be able to make it to the night, and bring some beer that I have laying around along.

 

[angus_grant]

Where-abouts are you located hwal? I'm sure someone can free up some fridge space over the next 2 months for a couple of weeks to run your ferment

Not me in the next few weeks though. I am dangerously close to emptying my last keg in the fridge and have brew currently fermenting and a cube going straight in for ferment once current one is kegged.

I'm around indooroopilly/toowong area but happy drive a bit assuming my beer doesn't mind. I wouldn't be able to brew until around 27-28th of September due to uni work. If anyone could that would be awesome, if not, then that's totally fine. Cheers, Harry

If you're keen to jump in the swap and can handle the logistics of it I could make room in the fridge for a couple of weeks. I'm in Bray Park so it is a bit of a hike for you.

I've got full cubes, full fermenters and full kegs at the moment, hit a bottle neck at the consumption stage of brewing recently.

Send me a PM if you want the fridge space mate.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

or brew a saison and rock it at ambient!

[hwall95]

Thanks Donske, I'm not sure if ill get time to brew as well travel as I'm pretty stretched for time for the next two months. But I do appreciate the offer, if I suddenly change my mind I'll send you a PM but it's unlikely due to the new idea of a saison.

or brew a saison and rock it at ambient!

I was actually thinking of brewing a saison for a house beer as I've never tried the style. So if it turns out nice in the fermentor and there's still room in the Xmas swap ill join back on. Saison should at least make a good summer beer.

 

[angus_grant]

Saisons ferment out pretty quickly so you could knock it off in 2 weeks and you can do them ambient. I've yet to do an ambient ferment as we are only just coming out of winter. But looking forward to doing a few of my "saazon"s (saaz hopped saison) as well as another saison I have in planning.

Belle Saison hangs around in suspension for ages. I noticed in my latest keg of saazon which has to be around 2 months in the keg I was still getting yeast settling out in the bottom of my glass. :blink:

I don't think anyone did a saison in the last swap. You're locked in now Harry!!! :super:

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I brewed one this week with belle saison at 27deg. hit FG in about 3 days.
