Vic 2011 Case Swap

[Wolfy]

I'm not sure yet...I don't see it being too 'way out'. Altho I really enjoy beers that you don't see every day.

What is the feeling of case swaps? Are they expiermental (or just mental), or do people put up there tried and tested brews? :wacko:

No matter your skill, expertise or experience if you submit a beer that is about as good as you can make, it will (generally) be appreciated by everyone.
If there is a beer you make well and enjoy, then its a good candidate for a swap, no matter how 'way out' it is.

In the past we've had Xmas in July in June, leaves a better gap to November for the Xmas swap and also allows people to drink them at their Xmas in July cellarbrations...

Can I suggest we do similar again?

 

[scott_penno]

I'd definitely agree with Leigh on this - mid-year in June and then again in November...

sap.

Onya Leigh, Top work. As previously not sure if its my browser but to edit that WIKI is a nightmare h34r:
I`ll go on the reserve list and fill up a spot if need be. ( you just need to fill it in for me )

Come on Bum be a sport and join in, otherwise we will be taking the piss from each other for a long time, and it will be good to put a face to a name.

I'll put your name on the list for you Haysie, but not in the reserves. You're going straight into the first division

Nah, I'm out but for my own reasons not because of anyone else. I'm sure our beery paths will cross at some point.

Regardless, I probably wouldn't commit to a swap for this one anyway - just begun full-time studies and not sure if I'd be able to get my poop together enough to have a swappable beer bottled for then anyway (on my brewing schedule at the moment the swap is only 2 to 3 batches away).

Something occasionally goes screwy with multiple people editing a wiki article, and it gets converted back to basic HTML (full of < ... /> angle brackets and "#ff0077" numbers)

For future reference, anybody can use this handy tool to convert from the HTML representation of an article back to the "user friendly" BBCode version.

Thanks WB <_<
Looks like lotsa American Browns have been listed, IF i make it out of reserve grade I would like to share my S&W Pacific Ale clone, no style but a grouse beer!
RESERVE LIST IT IS PLEASE.

@Bum, 2-3 brews away? you only need one

edit, and where is that funky brewer Manticle gone? His name should be on the list. edit2, moonlighter dropped in. Look forward to it Mant`s.

@Bum, 2-3 brews away? you only need one

Ha! Fair call. But the next two are looking like maybe being my second attempt at a smoked chocolate porter (first was unsatisfactory) and my first pumpkin ale and I've never drunk a commercial example of either so you know, not swappable in either case.

 

[wakkatoo]

Looks like lotsa American Browns have been listed,

Well, I know I was the first to put down an AB in the wiki but seeing as there are a few more who have gone down the same path, I'll put something else in. Thinking either a sweet stout or Helles Bock

 

[zebba]

If you have a look back, speedie, you'll see that the quality of the beer I might have presented was secondary in my reasoning to not attend. I know my brews have room for improvement but I've entered beers into the two most recent lottery thingos here and one elsewhere (that you should also be aware of) - so I'm not afraid to have other brewers give critical feedback and that's not the reason I'm not taking part.

You know forums aren't the best place to judge character though right? I hate people, but I've enjoyed the last two swaps I went to...

 

[mxd]

I hate people, .

I loved ya beer

 

[bum]

You know forums aren't the best place to judge character though right?

Yeah, no doubt. As I say, it isn't entirely about other individuals. I'm not down on swaps nor on the idea that people enjoy attending them.

Thanks WB, just "fixed" the hop register

I hope you can at least get a leave pass for the day.

After 3 months of baby duty, you'll need a break from the constant whinging, feeding demands, and urination. Hmmm, sounds just like a case swap

This time, mate, just stick to the beer...

 

[Siborg]

Man, I'm pumped for this swap. I just brewed a light amber, with a fair bit of munich. I have hit the hop schedule on the head: late cascade, galaxy, cent and a little amarillo dry.... AWESOME. Thinking of moving the hop schedule to an APA, or full-strength amber. Looks like there's gonna be plenty o' hops getting around this swap.

Absolutely. And I won't pike this time round...

I was planning an American Brown but will look to do something else now...

sap.

 

[haysie]

It looks like a real good line up.
Leigh are you starting another thread so people dont get lost in this one?
