Vic 2007 X-mas Case Swap

[brettprevans]

hey Spills, now that the election has been called for 24 Nov any chance of getting your place a registered polling location? maybe we should try and promote/get elected the Vic Case Swap Party

Platform Policy
1 - having all tax removed from HB items [leave tax on megaswill and let everyone else pay for crappy brewing ].

 

[Wardhog]

Ok, Peels has convinced me of the inherent evilness of not being part of this case swap. Made a bigger batch so I wouldn't have to go without over the next 6 weeks, 31L of 1.054 ESB goodness now undergoing the ministrations of our littlest friends.

I better round up all of the old case swap bottles.

Nobody expressed interest when I first tabled the idea, so I did nothing more about it... I am not sure if the service of alcohol (irresponsible or otherwise) is permitted in a registered polling place anyhow.

Remember: vote early, vote often. Your name is John Winston Howard and you are enrolled to vote in the NSW federal seat of Bennelong.

Bottled my American Amber Ale tonight after further dry hopping it with 30gms of Amarillo ( is it possible to put to many hops in ).

Now that the election has been called on the day I am going to have to do the drop off thing .... was looking forward to the day too.

Still be interested to try some great home brew from other brewers.

Amarillo - can never use too much

Amarillo - can never use too much

Couldnt agree with you more Hutch. I tasted my latest batch of all Amarillo pale ale on the weekend. It was like sticking your nose in a fresh bag of hops.

On another note I brewed my case swap contribution on the weekend using my new heat exchanger. Although it worked well I was losing a bit of heat through the hoses. Anyone know where I can get Aeroflex hose type insulation?

i better remember to vote this time, i don't think "na mate i was there, i voted. you must not have ticked me name" will work again, at least if it's on the day of the swap i'll be more likely to remember

Ok, so my honey wheat is on, hopefully its going to turn out, first time one of my brews has fermented out so long!

Is there any particular way bottles are to be labeled for the swap? I label all my brews (I know not all do) but obviously these ones will need AHB name?

Last time I did an APA. The only labelling I put on mine was to write WAPA on the lid in texta.

Edit :Some people also demonstrated their artisic flair and created labels that they stuck on the bottles, which was cool.

 

[Cummins]

If we put our numbers from the list on the lid in texta it would make sorting very easy

You beat me to it by that much....I think that is a great idea

[AUHEAMIC]

I think its a good idea too (mark_m you are excused)

 

[SpillsMostOfIt]

What if mark_m is not the only Schraeder fan?

 

[wambesi]

Sounds good to me, I'll whack one of my normal brew labels on it too.

 

[AUHEAMIC]

What if mark_m is not the only Schraeder fan?

Had to Google that one.

I guess they would be excused too.

By the way. Mark_m will be getting his Schraeder caped bottle back in the swap.

 

[DarkFaerytale]

oh yeah i still got marks cap too, didn't think to keep the bottle tho! sorry mark, i'll bring the cap to the swap for you

possible infection in the roggenbier (not that it really matters for this swap). sour rogenbier could be good tho
