Qld Xmas In July 2007 - Case Swap

[Punter]

Hi guys, sorry havnt been following your thread.
Are all you guys using PET bottles?
Berp, if your short on bottles PM me your addy and
I can post you some glass bottles (i'll make work pay the freight h34r: )
How many do you need for your swap? I've got hundreds.
Let me know. Hate to see someone drop out of a swap because of lack of bottles.
Cheers.

Pet bottles were decided upon for safety reasons and the lack of flying glass in the case of bottle bombs.

There may have been other reasons but after a bottle of ginger beer, porter and stout I'm stuffed if I can rememebre them.

Berps' problem is that he cannot source them for less that $20 per 15 and he's doesn't think that can be slipped past the financial controller.

Bottles were very hard to get here in Mossman . I got one box from the hardwear about 6 month ago for around $15. Then when starting to get ready for the swap I went back and they dident have any , so I orded 2 boxes gave phone nunber and waited .. cheeked back after 4 weeks no haven't come in , (we have your number) ...waited .. by now I had the swap brew fermenting and WANTED my bottles, so I had to drive to Cairns ... Big W had heaps $12.73 p/box... .... .... so last saturday morn .. Naomi rings ( Hello this is Naomi from town & country we have your beer botles here , they came in yesterday) I had to tell Naomi where she could put my beer bottles as it was 7 weeks since I orded them and the beer had been in the bottles I got from Cairns for almost 4 weeks and was now ready to be drank..


Berp , I can't see a prob spending $40 to be apart of a swap.. you will still have the bottles for more swaps and a few of us send a bottle or 2 to each other in the post every now and then .. But as your situation is your own bussines and costs what they are today if you can't justify it don't be to down... there is always next one..

Cheers..Ned

And now for something completely different!

My swap brew is carbonating, but I have a backup brew fermenting now as a little bit of insurance.

It does mean I'll cough up for more PET bottles, but like the previous posts say, the investment will be returned over and over again.

And even more different:

I had party last night at Kilcoy with a mate I had not seen for 9 years. What a hoot! I was pretty walloped when I called Pat, as I had a bad case of the BIABs.

We drank toucan oatmeal stout, dark ales and stood around a fire. I am so excited for this swap!

Just for our information Incider?

Is your swap brew-to-be a BIAB or K&K?

Love to know.

It'll be K&K Pete, and I would have loved to have been able to make the time to do a stove top again.

What I meant by 'being BIAB'd' was being up late and full of lunatic soup!

Would everyone like me to bring along my case (48) of glasses as used last case swap?
Or do each supply our own individual glasses?

Cheers FROGMAN.

Be doing some QA on my case swap beer.
All seems to be good, but the carbonation is a bit low for the style

There might be enough time to grow your HTFU chopper style facial hair too!

(depending on how quickly one's facial hair grows, and whether it looks right or like me, you just end up looking like Cap'n Snooze)

 

[winkle]

Getting close now, I'll post the address/directions on the brewerhood email address this weekend. If you're not on that then just PM me for the details.

 

[bonj]

Woohoo!

If you're not on the mailing list, then PM me with your address and I'll add you

I managed to find a LHBS that sells 15xPET 740mls for $13.50. Got wifey on side with promise of a big tax bonus this year. So I've added my name to the list. :beerbang:

FNQ Bunyip, can you tell me when you're travelling south so I know when I have to be ready by?

Berp.
