The Dag Brewday - Port Douglas, Qld

[Duff]

G'day all,

The DAG's (Daintree All Grain) had a little get together today with the 2 founding members, FNQ Bunyip and yours truly at my place in Port Douglas.

Ned showed off his welding skills with his little number he has knocked together which, miraculously, fits nicely on the tray of his Landcruiser Well measured mate.

Anyway, we haven't brewed together for around 6 months when Thommo was our guest for the day, so again in perfect FNQ weather we punched out a couple of fine ales. An ESB for me and an awesome smelling Smoked Porter for Ned. The day topped off again with a couple Murray's 2IPA's in the pool.

The DAG's intend to get together for another brewday in December, so any AHB'ers in the area are more than welcome to join in. Just let one of us know.

Some piccys of Ned's setup at my place. None of mine as it is not up to scratch with his Tower of Power :lol:

Cheers.


1. Ned doughing in the smoked porter.



2. Sparge runoff into the kettle



3. Ned's Tower of Power



4. Runoff to cubes.



5. Planning a brewday? Just dial 1800 BUNYIP and he'll be there!! :lol:

Looks like a great brewday Duff. Good to see you backing up after a brewday with Phrak last weekend.
I knocked out 3 cubes of summer ale today with another HBG member checking out AG for the first time.

Would love to make December, but I think my chance are minimal to negative on that one.

Ha Ha funny you should mention cloth picked up some fine mesh type material for the princly sum of $3.00 a metre downtown Cairns the other week.

I am just a migrant worker so spend only a short amount of time in FNQ at any given time so K&K and K&Bits is all I can really manage at present.

At least got the internet to keep tracks on all the goings on up here.

Cheers keep up the good work.

Hey Duff - great pics mate! Great to see Ned's 'portable' rig being ported too. :super:

I'll be up in March for a week for a wedding, and will want to meet up with the DAGs for a beer or two. :icon_cheers:

Cheer,

InCider.

Now why does that sound dangerous?

Hopefully not too much rain then so the Daintree River is passable. We noted yesterday that the thickness of steel Ned has used will certainly stand up to a cyclone. The house might blow away, but at least the brewery will still be fine

Cheers.

Tropical Cyclone InCider will be chaperoned by the one and only all powerful and sexy TC Mrs InCider. When a cold front develops that's the mother in law, but she's not going to be within a cooee of the DAGs! :super:

I have a packed itinerary, but when TC Mrs InCider lets be know what the feck that is, I'll let the DAGs know to see if we can slot something in. Worst case scenario is that you'll give me your home numbers so I can call you at 1am and let you know I'm drunk and at the wedding reception. It's not ideal, but works :lol:

TC InCider.

Nuthin like throwing the entire rig on the ute for a brewday, next time I think... 'shit, i don't feel like stuffing around in the shed to do a brew' .. I'll remember the effort you blokes put in :beer:

tell you what, I'd be in a trip up north to have a beer with these blokes :icon_cheers:

Cheers

[FNQ Bunyip]

Your All welcome, even you incider... TC Incider central pressure 666hp ....Haha ...

Like the train trip idea , load up a brew rig and do a sunlander ale in the gaurds van on the way , with Qrail it could well be ready too drink by the time you all arive haha ...


Yardy : its not too much effort too load up and brew anywhere , just need a water tank under the tray of my old ute and it could be anywhere at all ...

I'm fecking coming - especially after I read this article: :super:

A notorious Queensland nudist resort is planning a month of sex parties and rainforest "orgies" in a bid to boost flagging tourist numbers.

Great pics Duff.
Once again it looks like you have some great bloke space at your new house.
I think I might have to go do a welding course at South West Tafe.
It take it that Ned started Movember a little earlier than the rest of us B)
Cheers
