Qld Xmas In July 2007 - Case Swap

[winkle]

Browndog & Jye do you guys have any preferance for case swap times? I was thinking maybe 12-2pm for organising the swap followed by general AHB swilling. I'll cook up some snags so you won't starve.

I suppose anytime once everyone has turned up.

What time are we kicking off?

 

[winkle]

Whatever time Incider gets off the choo choo (afternoon I guess - 2pm?)

 

[TidalPete]

So as per TPete's suggestion, let's write down our number on our bottle tops (I bags 69 of course!)

I also think we should go with Ross's suggestion in Post 155 & include an extra bottle for ourselves to make the monitors job easier.

If we do both of these things at this & all future swaps sorting the bottles out should be a breeze. What do you all reckon?

:beer:

[Jye]

Im going to change to an American Rye instead of an IPA, I dont think many brewers have tried rye and this will give you a great idea... plus the one I just kegged is going down a treat and incredible moreish :chug:

... and has anyone but their hand up to bring a keg along? We dont want to drink winkle dry then run out of beer.

I think I will bring a keg along.
May also have a new portable system to play with by then.

Will there be a cut off date for the swap?

I appreciate that as a non attendee wishing to participate in the swap that i'm on the outer, but should i make a brew for the swap anyway?

Mine will be a california common if i'm to take part.

Cheers :chug:

 

[bconnery]

Well I can't make the decision for everyone but at this stage I'd say first reserve probably get's to step up...

That's my vote anyways...

 

[browndog]

I'll bring a keg of something too.



cheers

I'm still a little unsure as too why the limit was set at 20.

Most brews are 23>25lt and even if filling from a keg 19lt you still get 25 bottles ..19lt/.740ml = 25.6 bottles..

As this thred has been here for a goodly time maybe both the non attending reserves could be In ..

I know that being all alown in the far north with out other brewers close by I am realy looking forward to the swap beers on my return to try other brewers fine beers..

Well its up too Winkle I sopose as hes the Host ..

:beer:

 

[Jye]

I thought the reserves list we just brewers who were unsure if they could make it? The list never filled up this year so there has always been room.

Ned it was set at 20 so the brewer could perform a bit of quality control before entering it in the swap, but if we get a few more wanting to enter then that number can be increased.

 

[bconnery]

I'll be bringing some beers. To be honest, I thought it was kind of a given that we would all bring some. Maybe some allowance for the far away visitors but I wouldn't expect winkle to be supplying it all...

 

[Ross]

I'm seriously looking at delaying my trip overseas for a week or so due to work commitments, so added myself to the reserves list.

Well, you can never fill a 19L keg right to the top and if we are bringing one for ourselves to make the swap run easier, I'd like to see the limit kept to 23, with a max of 24. The more the merrier I say but lets keep it easily achievable. I'm bringing a full keg of the American hopburst we made on my brewday, it's an easy drinker for a hopburst and should go down pretty well.

cheers

Browndog

 

[bonj]

I'm personally still trying to dial in my system, so 24 bottles at 750ml each gives 18L, which is currently difficult for me to obtain with any degree of accuracy. The current fermenter (which was intended to be the case swap brew) only has 18L in it, some of which will be lost to the yeast cake. I'd prefer to keep it down closer to 20 if we can manage.

 

[winkle]

I'll leave the swap numbers for the moderators to set (dodging possible arguements)
I should have 3 taps on (provided the are no more unplanned pissups like last Sunday) with a guest tap available and a pluto gun - the more beers the better! It'll be good to see you might make it after all, Ross. I've got to fix the tun temp control and get the case swap beer down (again )

 

[TidalPete]

I'll be bringing some beers. To be honest, I thought it was kind of a given that we would all bring some. Maybe some allowance for the far away visitors but I wouldn't expect winkle to be supplying it all...

Ditto.

I have already bottled my contribution (naturally carbonated) of 20 PETS with the surplus going into tallies.
Any extra contributions will have to be in tallies.

Racked the SIRA into secondary yesterday, modified Screwtops recipe a bit but it still smells pretty good , the Wobbly clone was a slightly oxidized so I'm drinking it as fast as I can to refill the bottles.
If it looks like being cold on the day could someone bring a bit of extra fire wood as it gets a bit breezy in the bar?
