[GMK]

so - we are going to Dr Gonzo's on the 17th Dec for the swap.

What time is everyone turning up...

 

[SteveSA]

Unfortunately I won't be attending on Sunday. I've double booked so AnthonyMac will be delivering my goodies and hopefully he won't drink too much of my case.

Have a great day gents.

Steve

[Justin T]

:super: looking forward to putting some names to faces.... :super:

 

[Dr Gonzo]

Yep 10:00 mash-in for those who are keen. About 12:00 onwards for a BBQ lunch.
Does anyone want to put their hand up for being brewer for the day? That'll leave me to tend to cooking.
I was going to put on a few weber chickens and some meat on a stick. Is anyone able to bring a salad?
I currently have a dunkelweizen & an IPA on tap. Hopefully i dont drink it all before sunday.
If anyone plans on driving home but gets too drunk, i will confiscate their keys and make them walk home carrying their xmas case. B)
Hope to see you all there.

 

[Justin T]

I suppose that i can tentatively put my hand up as brewer......unless a more experienced person cares to take charge and leave me as assistant....

I dunno, its pretty hard work. A lot of standing around and drinking. I still have trouble getting through a full days brewing. I think youve just dobbed yourself in.

 

[Justin T]

Oh Ok, if I have to :lol:

 

[tangent]

damn, I was hoping Wee Stu would be brewing so we could offer him the "support" he offers when he watches us brew.

You don't want to see that. Nobody should be subject to it Besides we want to help out new brewers not scare them away.

 

[GMK]

I cant get to the swap until around 1.00pm...

Family commitments and i will have to bring my kids along for the ride.

Therefore, will probably not be staying taht long....

Sounds nice and malty! I hope to be there for the 10am mash-in tomorrow.

However... where am I going? Drive around Edwardstown until I can track down the smell of grain, hops and beer?

I'm still yet to convince a parent or sibling to give me a lift, so I may be driving :S

 

[Aaron]

Doing a quick conversion from srm to ebc that would seem pretty light for a dopplebock. I have not made one before so am not an expert on the style. From what I have read I would use the Munich 2 or dark Munich but like I say I am no expert on the style. I think chocolate wheat would go well in this style too.

 

[Adamt]

PM me if anyone knows where Dr Gonzo's is, cheers!

 

[WildebeestAttack]

Bad news, tried my beer last night and it is no good. Infected. So I won't be going along. I'm going to brew again today and see if I can work out where it all went wrong.

Sorry for the very late notice. Have a good one guys.

 

[kirem]

have a good one today guys.

 

[Gulf Brewery]

PM me if anyone knows where Dr Gonzo's is, cheers!

Sent a Pm to AdamT

Cheers
