I am going to finish the bottle-filler his week, so you may end up with a test sample.

We will be running water through our new 4 head counter pressure filler in the morning. It is more than just a bottling machine, it is a work of art. :beerbang:
Hope the bloody thing works.
Cheers

Great news GM. But despite undoubtedly being of the highest quality, such a device really does need some thorough roadtesting and feedback sessions...

Send some West old fella..!!!!

Postage would be WAAAYYY too much unfortunately KoNG. Tell you what, I'll email you my tasting notes...?

Piss off Get in line T.D. We got AC here, so if I have to sit in my bedroom and drink them I will. (My conical is within arms reach of the bed - nice and cool )

Aircon will get you close Duff, but your weather is just too darn nice up there. You need gloomy overcast weather to really appreciate an English Dark Ale. Sydney's forecast for the next few days fits the bill nicely!

Of course, the logical and gentlemanly way to settle all this would be for Gerard to send us all a six pack...

The last adjustment worked great, only one small welding job before we start the cleaning run & get going.
Glass arrives tomorrow.
At this stage we will be doing a bottling shift Weds & Thurs
Labels arrive next week, stick em on & get them into the bottle shop.
Cheers

Hey Gerard, great news. Looks like you'll need to get that up-sized brewery into action sooner rather than later!

Any plans to get the bottles into stores interstate?

New brew house has arrived in Oz, just need to get the new fermenters & bright tanks here. Everything "should" be ready to install early March. For now we push on with the present set-up.
Our beers are un-filtered & un-pasturised, so that limits our ability to conquer the world. We will have a few places in Melb, & around the South-West. We will look at a few Sydney sessions later next year. There could be some inter-net sales of special brews, but for now it is just 6 packs of Whale & Dirty!
Cheers
Gerard

Didn't see this until just now HK. We had a pretty busy day, well I was just doing tranfers & keeping an eye on the cricket, but others looked busy. I ended up behind the bar pulling beers late this arvo, glad I am not asked to do that on a permanent basis. If you found your way in I hope you enjoyed the beers.

Thanks Gerard,

I was really looking forward to dropping in. However as we arrive in the bool, my newborn started crying his head off in the back of the car. So a quick pit stop to feed and change (45mins) we were on our way again to our next stop and I completely forgot till we were about 50kms out of town. I was spewing. However I will endevour to make it in one day on a return trip.

Bad luck mate. You missed out on the baby change tables & the cleanest toilets in any pub I have seen. The Lounge area is generally packed with prams & strollers in the mid/late afternoon during the week.
