SE QLD Xmas-in-28th of June 2014

[TidalPete]

I'm still having a cleanout & have two of these bottle drainers to give away.
If anybody wants them they can collect from me or I can bring down to the swap.
Each drainer will hold 24 tallies or PETs.

 

[winkle]

I think one night of "living there" will be enough for this little black duck. At least until the next one. h34r: :beer: :chug:

Speaking of which: what is the go with over-night stays? Bit too expensive to get a cab home at whenever the hell I finish up. Was there mention of an RSL car-park next door? Do they mind if I pitch a tent up on their lawns?

Edit: just went back and read Winkle's first post. Grassy car-park next door so I shall bring my small one man tent.

You can pitch the tent in the front of the house, should be safe there - or risk a swag in the bar (and Incider)

[TidalPete]

No worries Alan. I'll bring them down with me.

[winkle]

Bloody hell, we still have 22 in the swap :O.
Best get brewing for this I guess, if you lot are unlucky lucky there might be a buckwheat black wheat beer on tap (tart as bro).

 

[angus_grant]

I am thinking a dunkelweizen but seeing as I have never brewed one before (or done step mashing) I will have a fall back of an APA (most probably some Lord Nelson bastardisation)

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I'll be bringing a keg of ginger ring stinger again. This one will have habaneros and trinidad scorpions in it.

LOL. My ring is still stinging from the last one! :huh:

Would anyone be interested in some apple and elderflower cider if I bring a keg? Or are you all beer snobs h34r:

Cheers - Snow

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I'll have a go at it. just tell people it's a berliner weisse or something and watch them put their thinking faces on

[bradsbrew]

Hope you can make it Rowy.

 

[RdeVjun]

Pretty sure you could find something in the host's garden to Randall it like last time if so inclined, that really was a rip- snorter. What was in that again- Kaffir Lime, Lemongrass and something else from Ben's garden? B)

 

[Liam_snorkel]

yeah at various stages we ran it through lemongrass, birds eyes & kaffir lime leaves hehe.

 

[TidalPete]

So you can't make it this time around Ralph? :icon_cheers:

 

[RdeVjun]

Only a maybe at the moment TP, a conflicting family event is on the cards presently but should know for sure in the next fortnight. But if they can't decide, then I will!
Oh and err, how can I say this- the prospect of sharing a few glasses of Liam's tasty Ginger Ring Stinger is rather appealing... there, I did it!

Oooohhhhh! It burnt so much I thought I'd swallowed a flame thrower :lol:

 

[Rowy]

Gents I will bring with me some grouse empty glass bottles that are crackers for long term storage beers. Also some PET to give away. For the glass ones whoever stumps up with the biggest donation to a kids charity of our choice gets them. Winkle can take the donation on the night and post the receipt later.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Looking forward to catching up over a beer or ten Rowy

Great idea Rowy. I will put up a 100L aluminium kettle that I no longer use, no lid and has a hole for tap. Same deal for a donation to a kids charity.

 

[Rowy]

Thats the spirit Brad!

 

[angus_grant]

brewing a dunkel weizen this Wednesday and will see how it turns out. Never brewed one before, and haven't drunk that many but the recipe mine is based on just grabbed my interest. And seeing it is a weizen, can be drunk nice and fresh so should be carb'd and in its prime by the swap meet.

Will bottle it and see how it matures. Aim to have more than 24 bottles so I can taste them over time.

Will hopefully start fermenting it next week as I have just started fermenting a 1050 APA which should take about 5 days to ferment and then 3 days cold crash to try and drop out the US-05.

Have I bitten of more than I (and perhaps my system at the moment) can chew? Yes, yes I have...... :blink: 5 step mash (2 of which are pump rests so my software can automatically do that) So I will have to do some solid software work tomorrow to include step mashing and pump rests before brew day on Wednesday otherwise it will be a manual brew day for me.

oh, and I have nothing of worth to give away.

 

[lukiferj]

Getting cold now boys. Keeping that fire stoked Winkle?

Updating my contribution.

 

[Rowy]

Your bringing that for me Pete, you know That beer of yours in my favourite. You Bloody champion! Now I've got to think of buying a beer to reward you with.

 

[winkle]

Have you been lurking all this time Rowy? We are overdue a beer or three.

If anyone has access to some firewood, that would be a help since all the stockpiled wood I had on hand got burnt Saturday nite/Sunday morning when the Scotch supply was getting hammered.

 

[Florian]

Do jacaranda branches count as fire wood?

Have quite a few sitting in the back yard which I'm desperately trying to get rid of, cut them down a few weeks ago.
Probably to moist, still?

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

Good to see you back, Rowy!

Fire? As in, fitting fire in a home in Qld to deal with lower temperatures? h34r: I was giving it to the Taswegian locals for having their fireplace on in late March when the nights were still double digit.

Hope you boys enjoy it, looks an excellent line up this time.
