You could also count it as quality assurance...

Haven't seen Screamadelica for a while but everyone else seems to have been active lately so we should get close to a full swap :super:

[winkle]

Do you want to organise the actual swap again after last years brilliant success Parks?

We did a pre-swap tasting of my beer last night and am pretty chuffed how it is coming together, points to note though, this is a combination of saison yeasts and one of them (I'm looking at you W3725PC) will keep working as long as there are any sugars to be found. Expect it to be a bit overcarbonated - so either refridgerate it and burp it once or twice before pouring or decant it into a jug to avoid getting all the lees in your glass.

 

[lukiferj]

Happy case swap day everyone! See you all soon.

 

[Parks]

Do you want to organise the actual swap again after last years brilliant success Parks?

The curse of success! I'm sure we can knock it over even quicker this year.

 

[Parks]

Anyone looking for a tap and gas for today - I am only using one in my portable setup so there's room for one more.

That would be great. Need ice or anything?

 

[Parks]

That would be great. Need ice or anything?

I have 6 2L ice cream buckets about half full and frozen - should be fine in this weather.

 

[Parks]

Anyone needing a lift from the West/South about 1:30-2pm let me know. I'll be coming up Western Freeway through Bardon etc but can deviate if required.

I plan on getting to Winkle's about 2.

 

[madpierre06]

Just reaffirming as seems to have disappeared off the list...if your bottle with an underlined 4 , then you have cold steeped addition prior to bottling, no underline means yours is whole bean for 18 hours prior to bottling.

 

[NickB]

Anyone for Wings?

Just heading into the smoker for a delivery this Arvo....

Thinking of bringing a keg of OK APA and my Randall.... Anyone keen to watch me try to get that working

EDIT: Scratch that, no point brining a 1/4 of a keg.... Just some bottles from me then!

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Spose I should get cracking and bottle mine
