So talking to a lad at work who has attended these previously I should wander on down as it's really close to my place (im in gearside st). I'll attend without case swapping and can help with food requirements winkle. Let me know what you need me to bring.

Jazuz, that is close...

 

[HBHB]

Also, last time I had a sensible APA of yours, you had thrown 250+ grams of hops in the keg, and it was delicious

I do believe it got better every day until it blew a load of frothy stuff about 4 days later. Wasn't much left though.

 

[earle]

I was just going to ask if the kegerator was potable or just its contents

Looking forward to christening the reno'd kegerator at the swap.

This is what it was like when I picked it up with some kegging gear off gumtree

 

[Adr_0]

Wow... That is the most awesome thing I've seen today!

I am taste testing my (number 17) IPA this weekend to make sure it passes muster. If not I will substitute an Oatmeal Stout which I am very happy with.

 

[menoetes]

Hot Damn Earle! I'll just be busting out the banged up old esky for the swap...

As for my brew... The verdicts in and I'm pretty happy with the way the Kiwi Bright Ale turned out so far. So long as it carbs up nicely and it'll be a good drop.

I'm really looking forward to this.

Any word on the food situation?

 

[winkle]

Here is a brief summary of the swap details.
(Don't bother reading futher if you've been before).
Start time 2pm, there is plenty of parking in the swaps' grassy carpark - don't take Florians spot under the tree or he'll make you drink Becks (brewed locally). There is plenty of space for swags in the bar, or you can sleep in the car. If you are sleeping over - bring something for breakfast. Other than beers, feel free to bring munchies (ie homemade jerky, Angus's salty balls etc). At dark o'clock someone sober enough (not me) will wander around collecting for a pizza run so bring $10 in your pocket if you are staying after dark. Partners are welcome as long as they behave themselves and don't try and molest Sqyre. Bring a drinking vessel (small is good). Prepositioning gear/bottles should be fine - just PM us first to ensure someone is home. There are public transport options 350/360 bus is probably best. Lastly this is in a residential area, so try and refrain from yahooing, slamming door etc in the later hours. Having said that - if anyone is better at playing the pipes than Angus - bring them along to maintain traditions and it gives the neighbours something to complain about, instead of the yahooing/slamming doors/chundering etc.

Anyway, looking forward to it. Unlikely to have a keg ready (you never know) this time but I'll bring some bottles!

[Radshoes]

Just bottled 17 bottles and then the keg blew - guess it has been getting a bit more of a nudge than I thought.

Might have to do the other 7 bottles as ESB?

 

[lukiferj]

Now is about the time when people start dropping off the list. Everyone still swapping?

 

[angus_grant]

Yep, mine are in the fermenting bar fridge carbonating away. Bottles are pretty hard but not as hard as it's going to be missing the swap night. :unsure:

At least I won't be as hung-over on Sunday as you lot.

Lukifer: have to arrange getting my beers to you this week sometime.

Which reminds me: Have to snake some stickers from work to number my beers... h34r:

 

[winkle]

Let me know if I haven't sent you the swap address (2pm start BTW)

 

[seehuusen]

Yep, thanks Perry :super: Florian hasn't put his name down, totally stealing his awesome parking spot h34r: haha!

[hwall95]

Any chance anyone can spare one of those curly bronco tap for the evening, I tried ordering one from craftbrewer but seems they're out of stock :blink: If not, I'll just buy one of those non-curl bronco taps. At least this time I have a little insulated box instead of my bucket last year Is there anything I can bring to help out food/snack-wise Winkle?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I'll try to remember to bring one along
