Hi all
Happy to call it and lock in Saturday the 5th of December
Camping
At this stage camping is pretty much just swags on the ground out the front or back of the brewery. We are however working on possible gaining the use of a vacant nearby shed for swags or a nearby paddock for camping. Trying our best to accommodate but unfortunately we do have some limitations. Definitely recommend the motel option as we have two well within staggering opps walking distance being about 100m and 200m away, only issue is it is across the highway. I recon it would be good to have the creature comforts of a shower etc. in the morning, along with the opening up the possibility of bringing the family and making a weekend of it.
Closest is accommodation
All Rivers Motor Inn – 115 Northern Highway about 100m away
Echuca Rivergum Motel – 85 Northern Highway about 200m away
Beer
Like any new brew system we are still learning and working out its limitations etc. We can easily boil 1000L but with a big beer we may need to go less as not to max out the mash tun, like to play it a bit same on the day. We are going to attach a hose to the kettle so we can fill straight into the cubes hot using butterfly valve to control the flow. We are unable to cool the cubes though so recon may be better with something more malt driven rather than hoppy. I like the idea of the RIS but obviously happy to go with whatever we decide.
Also Yob, I do have my homebrew gear even though I have a commercial brewery. Parting with my homebrew stainless fermenters would be like parting with a child or pet, once a homebrewer always a homebrewer. Therefore I am definitely keen for a cube or 2 or 3 anyway you get the message.
Glad you love our Pale Ale Mardoo, unfortunately probable not an option to brew as it uses Citra in the recipe. We have a limited supply that was extremely hard to acquire and sorry not keen to part with any.
Cheers
Tracey
