Vic 2007 X-mas Case Swap

[AUHEAMIC]

Regarding the 1 litre milk bottle wort kits. Does anyone know if there would be enough viable yeast cells in two stubbies of Coopers to do the job? If not two, how many? If only VB had yeast in it :lol:

Also I have decided to rename my case swap contribution to just Scottish Ale. It turned out to be a little overdone in the malt profile department and I dont want people who havent tried a Scottish Export Ale 80/- to get the wrong impression.

 

[AUHEAMIC]

Yep gday guys, he is a brewing mate since '02, but not actually a member on here. Hope that is ok? I told him about the swap and he was very keen on the idea.

No probs Cummins. Just couldnt work out who it was.

 

[SpillsMostOfIt]

I think we have to decide if the Brew Of The Day is for those who could not find a good enough excuse for not turning up, or if it is for everyone. I figured it would be only for those who would make the pilgrimage to Collingwood and therefore could be 2litres per pilgrim. Perhaps we need a show of hands?

As for outsiders participating, I think it is wonderful. We *can* be catholic enough as brewers to happily include people who don't have the AHB habit - can't we?

 

[DarkFaerytale]

peels i'v herd of people sucsessfully infecting a 20L wort with only 2 *full* bottles of coopers, not highly recomended! but i'd say 2 bottles of dregs would be more than enough for the swap brew IMO

do we get to call him lavender if he comes to the swap?

i thought it was only for those coming to the swap as well

I think I have successfully sent the necessary grid coordinates to all those who have claimed they will be attending (and not reneged). If you don't have them, it's probably your fault and you need to act accordingly.

Next step is to get the recipe for my beer-like contribution into a new thread...

 

[brettprevans]

I assumed the brew of the day was for those attending. But I dont care either way.

Id certainly be interested to hear people's ideas on the day about what recipe/yeast ideas we can take with the wort.
Spills, I got my PM with grid coordinates and have a map ready to guide me to the 'beer dock'. Im even going to try and get down to the 'cant vote on the day' polling booth this weekend to give me more time on the day


PS: Im wrapped, Spills' place could not be easier to get to from my joint. there's no was the missus can get lost when she picks me up.

 

[DarkFaerytale]

seems i have a house warming that night at a friends, so might not be able to stay till to late i'll deffinatly be there with bells on tho....no not literally

Go for it Spills

 

[wambesi]

All packaged up and delivered...Cheers Fents!
Now it should make it to the swap party......

Hopefully this ones ok, though I think it may be over carbonated.
Guess we'll see.

 

[Fents]

no probs mate. 4 case swaps ready to go!

 

[Thirsty Boy]

I finally got mine into bottles yesterday... should be plenty of time to carb up, but I should have left a bit more time for age, this one gets better after a month has gone by. Its not a showcase beer by any means, but it should be drinkable at least.

 

[chris.taylor.98]

Woo hoo ... case was safely dropped off at citymorgue2 place tonight, ready for the big day.

Looking forward to picking up the swapped case.

I did try a "preview" tasting, before unleashing it on the unsuspecting AHB case swappers, and am happy to say its at least drinkable.

(got breath tested on the way home, so someone must have tipped them off )

Thanks again citymorgue2 for taking my case for me.

 

[SpillsMostOfIt]

Well, at least two participating brewers reckon their beers will be 'at least drinkable'. Note that they are both recent award winners.

I haven't tried my case swap beer yet, nor do I expect it to be drinkable!

 

[brettprevans]

no worries Chris. Im now taking Andreic's & Maples' caseswap also.

Mines all labled and ready to go. It was certainly drinkable when I tasted a sample stubbie a little while ago. In fact I was definately going to make again (with some slight changes). Its no award winner though.

 

[Hutch]

Oh, FFS! :angry:
I was all geared up for a huge day on the 24th (that's right, I just can't wait to cast my vote! )
Well, my inconsiderate brother has had a bucks party inflicted on him that very day, and just got the invite now. Wedding's not till end of year, so wasn't expecting it so soon.
Anyhow, I guess I'll be dropping off my case at SMOI's place in the meantime.

Sorry for the late notice. Oh well - all the more wort for those who attend!

Should I put your yeast in with your case swap or would you like to pick it up from my place?

I'll go out on a limb and give a guarantee it won't cause death. Unless your idea of what to do with an ESB is to pour it into your lungs, in which case my guarantee is retracted.

Thanks for bringing that up Peels, and for the offer :icon_cheers:
I think it would only be fair to pass it on to one of the attending brewers on the day, maybe another noob wheat brewer.
I've got a couple of craftbrewer weizen's in the mail to get me going, so I'll cut my teeth on those before getting more adventurous.

Cheers.

Jeez Hutch, I thought many brothers far out weigh one brother

Very true, though I can't miss the sheer humiliation that a good bucks party throws on the unlucky sod.
...and sorry I'll not be there to share a beer with you in honour of the Cats. :beer:
