SE QLD AHB Xmas-in-July 16/07/2016

[Parks]

It's getting close!!!

Out on a limb - any of you Toowoomba peeps have the room and effort factor to pick up a single mattress from a place on Geddes st near Dan Murphys and bring it to Brisbane? There will be very little reward other than those feelings we often suppress when helping others :lol:

Well, I'm sure a nice beery treat can be arranged :beerdrink:

SWAP TIME!

 

[Parks]

What's the kick-off time Winkle and do we need to organise some fire wood?

If the weather is like now we'll be starting the fire early this year I expect!

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I could possibly bring some rounds of red gum

SWAP TIME!

Is it foam or innner spring Troy? Could maybe squeeze a foam one in but probably not an inner spring as well as the portable kegerator Priorities you know.

BenKen, have you got any lounges lying around for the fire?

 

[Parks]

I believe it's an inner spring. It's my heavily pregnant sister-in-law's so I'm just doing as little as possible in the hope of winning epic kudos.

It's not a big deal if no-one can fit it in but awesome if someone can.

Probably a no-go for an inner spring for me then. Hopefully someone else will have some space.

(a) Firewood -- I have a huge pile of olive wood pruning offcuts, mostly cut to around 30 to 40cm long, and around 6 to 9cm diameter. They're not quite as dense as, say, ironbark, but they're well aged and burn well. I could bring a ute load down with me.
(b) Mattress -- Parks, I can pop into Toowoomba one day next week and collect it, then bring it down on the ute as well (it has a flat-tray 2.4m long, so will easily fit on beside or on top of the firewood!)

 

[menoetes]

I have a wedding down in Melbourne the Friday night before the swap for a friend of SWMBO, but I manage to convince her that I would become insufferable if I had to miss another case swap so we'll be flying back into Brisvegas around lunchtime Saturday.

Whew, that was a near thing h34r: I'm really looking forward to another big swap night!

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

Is 6g/L dry hop enough?

 

[LorriSanga]

Is 6g/L dry hop enough?

Double it......that's what Brewdog do. h34r:

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

Double it......that's what Brewdog do. h34r:

I'm going for balanced, rather than too 'in your face'.

My hop addiction makes it difficult to ascertain what balanced means anymore.

>>To formalise... I'll bring a couple of dunkels and a growler or two of the Boh Pils, plus the odd APA and/or dubbel for gags. We're flying down so not sure on food yet but I'll think of something. Hopefully all will work out...

 

[Ciderman]

So first time bringing a keg... I've only got a 6.5kg CO2 bottle and not set up for party setups. Will that be ok or is it going to get in the way?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

there will be plenty of gas going around if you don't want to bring it. If you've got a disconnect and a splitter I'm sure someone will hook you up

 

[earle]

Guess I'd better start warming this up

And also provide some CO2...

Also, my mate Michael is coming and has contributed with a Keg of American Amber ale that we both brewed.
We can also bring food?

 

[winkle]

What's the kick-off time Winkle and do we need to organise some fire wood?

If the weather is like now we'll be starting the fire early this year I expect!

I guess we'll do the usual 2pm start, so anyone unlucky enough to work mornings can attend without having to shell out for a translator. Wood will be very welcome (where is Wombil when you need him)?

 

[Bribie G]

If anyone wants anything collected from Craftbrewer on the way through please arrange your order with CB and inform me by the end of that week, say Thurs 14th at the latest.
