Qld Xmas In July 2007 - Case Swap

[InCider]

I think that InCider should head up the inter-departmental panel for implementation of culturally sensitive tech support to the multi bodied case swap implimentation team. :blink:

Challenge accepted. First implementation task would be going forward and actively managing the defining issues of the craft brewed fermented beverage trade, distribution and allocation.

WTF? :blink:

me: "I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER, NOW!"

bonjraj: "Thankyou for your kind request, but I most sorry to say the manager is not here right now. Perhaps Sir could use this time to watch his very kind beer bottle conditioning?"

me: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH!"

bonjraj: "Just putting you back on hold sir, it will not me more than a few minutes, is that OK?"

me: "No, I want to sp-"

Beep beep beep beep

[bonj]

The frivolity is directly proportional to the excitement... You'll notice a surge of frivolity at the beginning and another as the date gets closer. :super: :beer:

Unfortunately, I will have to drop out of the QLD case. I can't find a reasonable source of PET bottles here. So make sure you all have a blast and have one on me!

[fixa]

berp. have you tried Big W? that's where i get mine from...

I tried Coles and found they sell 15x640ml bottles for $20. The problem is that I would have to get 2 of those but cannot justify spending $40 to The Accountant[tm]. Since I keg, the bottles would be a 1x use.

I reckon Big W would have the same size on offer. If you got 'em in 20+ cases there, fixa, lemme know and I'll haeck it out, but my feeling is 15 bottles is standard.

If you're all good boys, you might get some homegrown coffee for breaky. I'll send the wife up the tree tomorrow
Meanwhile I'll be getting some firewood so we don't freeze our collectives off.

It's $15 for 15 down here Coles, Big-W, Kmart etc. Maybe buy 15 and bludge a few? Don't forget future case swaps, if that will help justify the cost.

 

[Screwtop]

Les from Caloundra Home Brew charges the same price $15 per carton of 15 bottles. Of course you can justify it, you will be getting the same number of bottles back in return, won't you?

Screwy

As Perry says, They seem to be a bit more expensive up your way (?) but be consoled by the fact that you will not need to go to this expense again for quite a few swaps as long as we all agree to confine our swaps to PET bottles.
I have the same problem now that tallies are not allowed.
Keeping in mind that PET bottles do have a limited life of around 6x you will get a few swaps out of them.

Lots more than 6 Pete. But they start to look a bit tired, scratches on the outside etc. Rinse straight after use and use no rinse overnight before refilling. Some of mine would have done 20+ refills.
