Sa Xmas Case Swap 2006

[GMK]

My vote is for Kirem In....

Will be able to compare it with my batch that is bubbling away now.
But i did not biol 5ltrs down to 500ml.

Will probably dry hop with a little Styrian

Why thank you Ken, you are so accepting of others.

It will be interesting to see what comparisons you can make if you did not add caramelised wort.

[GMK]

if mine is bottled by the time of the Xmas Case - i will add one or 2 in for you....

Ken...

 

[kirem]

Did you use the same recipe as in the timothy taylor thread?

Unfortunately I am going to have to pull the pin on this years xmas case. The batch I had earmarked has developed a phenolic infection, due to poor yeast health of the tired old 1335 I used(british ale II).

Apologies for cancelling at the 11th hr! [/quote]

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

Think we should follow the lead of the NSW Xmas case contributers and state when the beer was bottled and when it should be ready to drink. I'll start the ball rolling.

[Voosher]

I also think we should describe markings on the bottle in order to distinguish beers.

Mine will have a simple label identifying the beer and the brewer and maybe the recipe if I can be bothered and 'tasting warnings' and tasting notes as necessary.
If possible I would suggest a clear and simple label is preferable. I'd guess there'll be more than one brew in the same or similar bottles.

 

[Adamt]

Yeah, didnt really think about it, I've been lazy and haven't printed out proper labels.

 

[Voosher]

Yeah, didnt really think about it, I've been lazy and haven't printed out proper labels.

"... proper labels..."

Not necessary from what I've seen!!!
Jazman's famous label

Sorry Jaz but it is a classic.

 

[Adamt]

If I can really be bothered I might do something similar to Jaz's ingenious labelling scheme, otherwise it's just the texta on the crown seal.
