Do you lads bottle carb, or keg and use a counter pressure bottle filler?
 
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
 
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.
 
Fingers crossed someone else pulls out. Keen as to get in on this! :)

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.

you won't be the only one, I've been flat stick and won't be brewing until this weekend ;)
 
as usual, if someone could bring some firewood to boost the supply here it'd be appreciated.
 
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.

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

Will be in attendance though. Soz for the late notice, can someone update the list because I also can't be fucked doing that.
 
If no one has any objections I'll throw myself in the mix

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