My Biere De Garde was bottled on November 19 and should be fine to drink whenever you chose. It may be over carbonated so apologies in advance. It was tasting nice when I have one after a week in the bottle.

 

[barfridge]

I can't believe you guys don't enforce the use of labels. That's half the fun of the christmas swap!

 

[tangent]

If you blokes can excuse aged extract brews, I can probably dig up 24 full Champers bottles. But I did say extract. Eww, now I feel dirty just typing it twice
I'm pretty sure there's 24 all the same type.
At least they're longnecks, but they won't fit in a carton of stubbies very well.

No label controversy here thanks.

 

[Justin T]

We'll accept a Jazman style label :beer:

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

I have spoken with Pedro from the Gulf Brewery about beers 21-24. He is currently awaiting the delivery of his bottling line and subsequently these beers may or may not appear in the Xmas case. Pedro should confirm this soon.
So we all need to supply 20 echos of nominated beer for 20 cases, this will ensure we get one of our own back in our case and should make the job of the co-ordinaters a lot easier.

Too lazy for labels in SA

 

[wee stu]

Too lazy for labels in SA

Mine was labelled for my own use, before I designated it for the Xmas case.

I am now just too lazy to remove the labels

 

[kirem]

I will be delivering my contribution to TDA.

I am in Adelaide for a week or two awaiting the birth of my 2nd child. I won't have time for the drop off day.

Oh good, that's four more bottles of bock I can drink myself.

 

[kirem]

I tasted my ''beer' last night, I am sorry but I am going to pull out. The beer is very thin, weak, insipid and not worthy of swapping.

Again sorry for the late notice.

That's a bummer on several counts.
One of which is... Slightly off topic...
From memory that was an effort with the Timothy Taylor yeast. Correct?
What do you reckon went wrong? The brew or the yeast?
My first is almost 2 weeks in the bottle. I'll try one tonight but the one I couldn't resist at 4 days seemed okay for such a young beer.

 

[kirem]

I have spoken with TDA and I can still supply it for interest sake.

At the very least, the TTLL yeast can be re-used.

The beer is supposed to be a light weight 1042 OG and 28IBU from memory.

That said, the beer is very very young and I don't normally taste beers this young. It has only been in bottle for 2 weeks, no Secondary, Cold Conditioning or filtration.

Perhaps when you all get it, give it some time.

[Aaron]

So numbers are all settled then? Hope everyone brings a couple of extras a long to give s try on the day.
