[NickB]

Woo!

Getting close now! I can almost feel the hangover on Sunday...

Off to stock up on bread and nibbles this arvo, then decide what beer I'm bottling for the swap, and what keg to take. Some QC of the available stocks may be in order.....


Cheers!

EDIT: poor form Ross... Unless its Flight of the Conchords, then I understand....

 

[Florian]

Got heaps of sausages for brekkie last night, swap beer is bottled and carbed.
Now I just got to decide which keg to take, can't say I've found one I'm happy with yet.

Might have to spend this morning and try them all again, hoping that something half decent will magically appear.

I was going to be in the same boat, but left my run too late on tickets and could only get restricted view side tix. Bugger that for the price they're going for.

Oh well, maybe next time

 

[winkle]

I'll be looking for someone with swapping experience to sort out the actual swapping process on the day, and a couple of arsistants. Hopefully we can get it over and done with early.

 

[Florian]

Happy to do the swapping, don't need any arsistants either.

 

[Parks]

Yeah, it's really not hard.

Happy to help.

Snow and I will be there about 3, I believe.

 

[Florian]

can't decide whether this would be a good Addition to my keg for the night:

 

[bradsbrew]

What are the vials for?

 

[Florian]

To keep the bag afloat, so the beer can flow freely through the flowers. Probably overkill, but I've heard ya olde Pete uses floating keyrings for the same purpose. Doesn't hurt to chuck them in I guess.

Flowers are German Hallertauer Mittelfrh into a simcoe dry hopped APilsA :wacko:

One of my first APAs I had Amarillo in a stocking. The stocking got sucked up into the keg out tube.

You guys can stick your randall - that was some powerful hopping!

(so yeah, a bit of floating would be good )

 

[bradsbrew]

Ahh well there ya go, good idea.

1st rule of case swap - do not use glass... (OK, so it puh-robably isn't the 1st rule, but it is a rule IIRC...).

Sorry to hear your pulling from the swap NN. Will you still be disgracing the group with your presense???

That reminds me... [Mental note - make a last minute, cameo appearance after a day of shifting-house frivolity... :chug: ]

Then again Beer Week is coming up.

 

[Rowy]

Does anyone going to the swap tomorrow need anything pick up from Craftbrewer in the morning? I'm just a hop skip and a jump!

I will also be heading out to drop off my BABBs comp beers about 10:30.

A keg of Ninja.

 

[Rowy]

A keg of Ninja.

No problem mate! Just give Ross a yell in the morning with your credit card number and I'll pick it up :lol:

 

[Florian]

Ended up chucking that Hallertauer Mittelfrh into a really bland lager I had sitting around, and instead chucked a bag full of 150g Citra and Cascade into the APilsA keg.

Will have a taste in the morning and decide what to take or if I have to go to the bottlo on the way.
Also packed a heap of beers from the funky beer swap and some Belgian treasures for later in the night.

Can't wait now...

 

[winkle]

my beer label for what its worth.

Edit: a bit like how I feel this morning - "Don't you two drink too much tonight" "Of course not, we aren't stupid"

 

[flavo]

Hate to do this, but I'm out. I can't make it up to the other side of the world today and was unable to find a courier for my case

 

[sqyre]

I might be going by you..
PM me
