Queensland Xmas Swap 2010 @ the BatCave

[TidalPete]

WTF has happened to the Ipswich connection. Poor showing fellas. If its the travel your worried about contact Ross. With his 700% mark ups he'll be able to pick you up in his gold plated Hummer...................................Whats that, Ross isn't coming either........fckin sad sad. h34r:

Their loss not ours Brad
and now in my capicity as an ahem, cough, cough,
I would like to remind all swappers to add one extra bottle to their case as this will make things far easier for the poor bastards (Andrew & myself) charged with sorting out the swap bottles. Also, please also remember to put your swap number on each bottle cap with a black felt pen.
As you may or may not have noticed, my animations are working again at long last.

Swappers are down to 22 now and I don't know if I'm able to squeeze too many more bottles than that out of my keg.
I will do my best all the same Pete.

I think that this should be taken into consideration for all future swaps Batz. It would only mean a slightly larger kettle volume. If you haven't brewed already & want to keg to use your CPBF add a extra bottle using natural carbonation. Too easy!
Was standard procedure once upon a time.

TP

 

[bconnery]

This has, in theory, been standard procedure for a while now.
The trick is that it isn't an extra bottle though, just that you need as many bottles as there are swappers.
This makes sorting easier.
You end up with one of yours back is all...

 

[Florian]

Am happy to help you guys with sorting out the bottles, was too slow to raise my hand last night. I have a way in mind to make this an easy and quick task, so we can all spend more time on the important things.
Anyway, I bottled enough to bring a few extras.

As this was brewed back in June for an October, Oktoberfest Pete, it was not a swap consideration.

I stand corrected Ben. It's been quite a while since I was involved in a swap.

[scoundrel]

my batchs are always around 23 -24 litrs so extra bottle shouldn't be a problem.
If your in a bit of trouble with the extra bottle why not throw the swap officials a botttle of something else that's good.

but with uncle chappos recent form it might not be needed h34r:

All good Pete.
It really does make the process a bit smoother...

Of course people drop out at the last minute and not every remembers to take out their bottle so the whole confusion begins again on swap day

Hey Brad, i've never said I'm not coming, hope to be there with bells on - as haven't missed an xmas swap yet.
I just don't like pulling out of something I've committed to & with work the way it is at the moment, writing a whole weekend off is pretty difficult - so won't know till much nearer the date.


cheers Ross

We hope you can make it Ross, I know Kin Kin is a bit out of the way for a Xmas swap but hell at least we got ourselves one! I did have this thing in November in the hope it would miss the family, work, clubs etc that host their Xmas parties.
I for one realize what work commitments can do to brewing festivities.

The Batcave is ready and waiting !



Just watch out for Jed as you come through town guys.

Batz

 

[winkle]

Looks like them boys already gotta liking for Bribies' Malt Licker.

 

[TidalPete]

Sorry Pete doesn't seem to want that.

Oh, I wasn't even gonna stop the engine, just drop off my half-fermented slops, pick up the good **** (i'll chuck the cider out the window in Pomona - gotta be plenty of kids there who'll want it) and GTFU of Dodge... or Kin Kin, rather.
