SE QLD Xmas-in-28th of June 2014

[Beertard]

How does this case swap work?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Each person in the swap writes their number (I'm no# 7 in this one) on each bottle of their contribution. Then Parks surfs on them and some magic happens you end up with one of everyone else's beer

After those formalities are taken care of, everyone responsibly imbibes in an ale or two and teleports to tomorrow.

 

[Donske]

Bottled my mild yesterday, what a pain in the ass, I remember why I bought a keg set up now.

Poured a pint from the fermenter as a sample while bottling, the Irish ale yeast plays quite nicely with the rye, should be a cracker.

 

[Parks]

Described with alarming accuracy Liam

 

[benken25]

cant wait for the case swap to catch up with everyone. after this last weekend I think I am well on the way to being piss fit for the event :super: better also add I only have 23 bottles so no more swappers

 

[leahy268]

Well I managed to bottle my swap beer in the end on Monday night.

This was the fermenter at the end of it:


Note to self next time to put it all in a big voille bag or something.
Took about 2 hours to siphon it all out.
Then still l left a litre or more behind..

Tasted good out of the fermenter so here's to it being a nice drop.
Now just to find a way to get it down to the swap.

Haha, I learnt my lesson with kettle additions of loose flowers, no way I'd throw them in loose in the fermenter.

 

[leahy268]

Previously I've done it and not had the same trouble.. However I used a lot less on those occasions.
Have had trouble in the kettle but managed to fix that..

[winkle]

Yeah the usual - bring some snacks, & some monies for the evening pizza run. If you are staying overnite, bring something along for breakfast (see the bottom part of the attending list), we'll fill in the gaps.

Jameson is out of the swap Pete.
PS if you are coming along and don't have any of your own beers to share around, bring some decent commercial offerings.

PPS there is a guest tap available and probably a spot in the fridge for kegs.

Actually scarily fitting Simpsons quote

Marge: Homer, a man who called himself "you-know-who" just invited you to a secret "wink-wink" at the "you-know-what". You certainly are popular now that you're a Stonecutter AHB swapper.
Homer: Oh, yeah. Beer busts, beer blasts, keggers, stein hoists, AA meetings, beer night. It's wonderful, Marge. I've never felt so accepted in all my life. These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined.

Please confirm.

I make beers like this and use a stainless steel scrubber wrapped around the end of a racking cane and just siphon the beer out. Acts as a perfect coarse filter no matter how much hops you have in there...

Cheers - Snow.

There are plenty of options in the Bacchus 5L mini keg range
