What's the concept here of the beer swap? Do we just swap a case for a case or is it mixed? Good choice of location, very close to me.

 

[Florian]

You bring a case of your best brew and leave with a bottle of everyone's best brew, making up a mixed case.
You will also leave with a headache, possibly dizziness and acute vomiting. Depending on who attends you might also carry away some other 'issues' which I rather not mention here.

Food wise, I like the idea of nibblies brought along (angus' balls for starters) and chip in for pizza later. I'm thinking skorthalia.

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

I'm flying OOL to Tokyo that week. 2 for 1 flights with a family of 6 is too good to pass up.

Tentatively pencil me in for swap but not attending. I may make the trip to Big W by then and I'm holding onto hops and yeast.

 

[Florian]

So you're dropping off your case at Gold Coast Airport and collect on the way back?????

I don't get it!

Nah, just saying I won't be in town that weekend, but I can drop off the swap beers before I go and pick them up after I come back.

Cool I'm in. 750ml?

 

[seehuusen]

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.

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 shit 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:
