[Mr Bond]

What's going on Brauluver? I was looking forward to a taste of your beer.

Time, Money ,and motivation are at nadir at the moment.

When i finally do this beer (prolly with TT yeast),I'll put one aside for ya :chug:

 

[stoutdrinker]

Havent checked in for a while but everything here looks like its ticking along nicely for the xmas swap.

i'm working the 17th (11-5) but can get my brew there the day before & call in after work perhaps.

Would like to meet with you other sa brewers & put faces next to names.

By the way Russ Taylor - I'm at Belair so would like to catch up.

[Dr Gonzo]

OK,
It sounds like the 17th is the preffered date so far.
I thought a 10am onwards arrival with a BBQ lunch
(im keen to try doing a few beercan chickens in the weber as well)
There will most likely be English pale & Wheat beer on tap.
Doing a brew on the day is also a possibility.

Anyway, its a month away so plenty of time to arrange things.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?

For those who will be unable to make it, PM me to arrange getting your beer there.

 

[peas_and_corn]

10am? you sound like an early riser. I'll try to make it by then, but I might be a little seedy from the 21st that's the night before

 

[Adamt]

Wouldn't mind watching a full proper mash session, never seen one in person!

Sounds like I might need to bribe a parental/sibling for a ride to fully enjoy the day

PnC: Actually it's a perfect start time for Day 3 of the 3rd Ashes Test in Perth!

 

[peas_and_corn]

Ahh, good point. Well, it'll be a good day all round then

Sounds good to me. Brewing on the day is also a fine idea.
I've narrowed my beer down to one of two options, depending on what tastes better on the day or which I have 24 bottles left of by next month. I was going to make it a CACA but have had some attentuation problems ie the bugger is still fermenting and won't be finished anytime soon.

[Aaron]

The bock please Kai.

Perhaps you guys have your time zones mixed up but if it is 1000 here it will be 0730 in Perth.

 

[Voosher]

The bock please Kai.

Ditto that.
I think it works better for variety for the case.
Willpower, Kai, willpower.

::bites knuckle::

 

[Aaron]

The Biere De Garde is bottled and was tasting interesting at bottling. Not sure about this one yet. I am worried it may be a bit over carbonated as there was a lot more dissolved C02 at bottling than I was expecting.

I'm just looking forward to the swap day and drinking all of your beers over Christmas.

[wee stu]

Okay, I'm confirmed.

Congratulations kai :super:

I didn't even know you were religious :lol:

 

[barfridge]

just stumbled in here. I'm surprised you let each other know what you're brewing. You should never let people know what they're getting for christmas, it spoils the surprise.

Then again...it would stop a repeat of the year everyone got 6 different hefeweizens.

 

[Kai]

Okay, I'm confirmed.

Congratulations kai :super:

I didn't even know you were religious :lol:

There's an epiphany in every glass, stu.

more to the point, a revelation in every gravity sample

I brewed my contribution for this yesterday.

100% Golden Promise 67degC for 90mins
13g styrian goldings 90min boil
13g fuggles 90 min boil
13g EKG 10min boil

I used a Yorkshire water profile, aimed for 1040 and 23IBUs

I took off 5L and boiled it down to 500mL then added it back to the ferment.

I used the TT yeast. I will probably dry hop the secondary, not sure what with yet.

I am aiming for a session beer in the same vain as TTLLPA.

My contribution is the above recipe, I haven't brewed it before, therefore it is an experiment. I won't have time to try the beer before I drop it off to TDA. If anyone objects to my contribution I am happy to withdraw.

 

[wee stu]

Welcome to the wonderful world of xmas case experimentation, Kirk.

I can't see too many objections heading your way
