[kegs23]

sorry guys i was not swapping, just turning up to drink on the day, but now that i have ruptured my pettela tendon (ripped the ****** ofHf the knee cap compleatly) from falling down my stairs stone soba. have to have surgury monday and be in a brace for 8 weeks, standing around drinking on a ****** leg all day might not be the best, this is the 1st one in about 4years i have missed, hope everyone has some good beers, i was going to bring a 3.5% choclolate dark ale on nitro,
have fun

 

[Zorco]

Geeze, that's no good. Best wishes for the surgery and recovery.

 

[Beersuit]

Geez kegs thats **** mate. If you swindle a wheel chair im sure there will be many a bloke to refresh your glass or push you towards a tap.
All the best with your recovery anyway mate.

 

[Cummy]

So I infected my mocha stout, either I try again and bottle it just before the swap or bail out. Thoughts? I've never been involved in a swap so not sure what the expectations are.

 

[earle]

While it's nice to get beers in the swap that are carbed and ready to go, there are often some that need time to carb. Just make sure you add the ready date against your beer once the tasting thread starts. Get brewing.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I find it's good to have a few that need to carb up. Stops me from drinking all the beers in the first week

Updated my beer!

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I find it's good to have a few that need to carb up. Stops me from drinking all the beers in the first week

and I say this, because I'm brewing mine tonight

 

[madpierre06]

Heh...mine goes down Thursday.

 

[Cummy]

Do you lads bottle carb, or keg and use a counter pressure bottle filler?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I usually bottle carb, but have counter pressure filled before.
Because we've still got a full list of swappers I think I'll have to fill from the fermenter to milk every last drop

 

[winkle]

Just a quick gibber for those who haven't been to one of these before, this case-swap is in Everton Park and starts at 2pm, if you are in the swap try and get your bottles here by 3pm so that the swap itself can be done before we get too tired & emotional.
Bring along either a keg/growler/bottles of your bestest beer for sharing and whatever munchies you enjoy for grazing on.
Someone will extract $10 off you for a pizza run after dark. There is parking available for sleeping in your car or space for a swag on the floor. If you are staying overnight, bring a contribution for a BBQ breakfast.
PM me before the event and I'll send out the address details etc.
PS there is a spare tap up for grabs on the bar if you don't have a mobile setup.

[Insensate]

Woohoo.. hey guys, I hadn't anticipated that I had any chance of getting into this till last week. I've got an oatmeal stout that I'm about to ferment so it won't be bottled till just before the event. Sorry guys, ill put a ready date on the label.

 

[seehuusen]

you won't be the only one, I've been flat stick and won't be brewing until this weekend

 

[winkle]

as usual, if someone could bring some firewood to boost the supply here it'd be appreciated.

 

[evoo4u]

Wot? You've actually used up that small mountain of olive wood offcuts from last year?

 

[Siderman]

Swap beer updated. First attempt at a sour. I've only just bottled a couple of weeks ago so whilst it will be ready to drink from a carbonation sense, will likely benefit from some bottle age.

[Parks]

So I infected my mocha stout, either I try again and bottle it just before the swap or bail out. Thoughts? I've never been involved in a swap so not sure what the expectations are.

In my opinion it's best to have them ready by swap day so you can do the best QA before swapping. Most people accept that **** happens and you might get one or two infected ones so it's really up to you.

I've already made 26 beers so I probably would prefer to swap 26 even if I had to wait for a few to carb up. Just do your best and no-one will hunt you down if you don't tell them where you live.

 

[rokaxe]

Gotta pull out due to 1. Forgetting to brew something and 2. Upon realising I forgot I can't actually be ******.

Will be in attendance though. Soz for the late notice, can someone update the list because I also can't be ****** doing that.

[Liam_snorkel]

I hope you all like chilli. Had a taste of mine last night and shes got a kick

 

[winkle]

A last note, bringing a small glass is usually a wise decision

 

[Batz]

usually a wise decision

A wise decision at a case swap? Never seen too many of those before??
There can of course be some come the morning after.

Its only "wise" when compared to the result of bringing a pint glass (or a "industructable" poycarbonate mug for that matter)
