Sandgroper 2007 Christmas Case

[Goat]

mmm - or Swan Stout, I'm a bit partial to that.

as I was the inaugural piker Barf - I feel our pain brother

The yeast was a bit lethargic, but I was on a tight schedule, so pitched before it relly took off in the smack pack, let alone making a starter. A very stupid n00bish mistake, true brewing art cannot be hurried.

So yes, I'll sort out something...swan stout isn't a bad idea.

 

[mika]

You're right.....it's not a bad idea....it's a VERY bad idea !

 

[recharge]

Umm, beer isn't meant to have slimy white stringy stuff on top, is it?

Looks like my heroic last minute effort was completely wasted. I guess I'll be heading off to buy a carton of shame

Sorry gents.

I get excited making beer too but you should stand back right at the end next time

I had to double check the thread title, but no..it's still the Sandgropers case swap, not the QLD case swap.

At least you came up with Weihenstephan tho!

I'll put my order in for a tallie of coppers sparkling thank you very much

 

[deebee]

If we are ordering from barf, I'll have the Swan Stout. Love that stuff.

White stringy stuff in your beer sounds like you made a batch of cock ale. :icon_vomit:

Sorry guys, that was wholly inappropriate and won't happen again, I promise.

Sigh.....I have a dream.....One introductory post from me. One post from each person confirming participation. One post showing photos of the swap. And here I am confronted with references to discharging into your own fermenter. Still..it could be worse, I could live in Queensland. See you tomorrow boys.

PS
In Queensland, they are so conventional, they do a pig on a spit. Here in WA I am going to deep fry a turkey.

 

[kook]

I suppose I'd better bottle my beer then?

 

[mika]

Well, no rush. Just when you feel comfortable Kook

 

[Goat]

bugger, is that tomorrow !?

I'll be finishing off the labels with invisible ink then...

Have started new thread for recipes and tasting notes, but in case anyone was wondering, here is my recipe:


"Beer by David" =

56% munich
19% JW Trad
19% Cryers Galaxy
6% melanoidin.

Bittered with amarillo to 12 IBU and then flavour/aroma saaz to 16IBU should come to about 28IBU.

Brewed with a starter made fom W34/70, the Weihenstephaner yeast.

ABV ~ 4.8%.

Thanks so much to GL and Mrs GL for the wonderful day. A day in which I learnt that just about anything is able to be deep fried, except Cornettos

 

[Adamt]

"Want anything from the shop?"


".... Cornetto."

 

[mika]

Hmmm, must be an SA thing <_<

Twas truly a great swap, Thanks to Mr and Mrs GL for their hospitality

But as they say, photo's speak a thousand words.

The american tasting session

Thanks Ant, you are now officially a Texan legend

The Dogs for Correllion...unfortunately he was a no show and now they have another target for next year...you know who you are

The crew having a good time

Some didn't find the action quite as fast paced as they would have liked..

And of course...how to deep fry a turkey. Not happy I missed the cornetto's

 

[Kai]

Nice photos, mika. So that's what I did yesterday... I woke up this morning with all this strange beer in my house.

Thanks again GL for the beer, horsepitality and the awesome mash paddle.

 

[deebee]

Forgot to add my thanks to Ant for such a monumental effort in bringing that beer back. Great stuff above and beyond the call of duty. Well done.

(That Racer 5 IPA was bloody sensational.)
