Vic 2016 Xmas Case Swap

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Behind schedule with this one... lucky my yeast starter looks like it will make fast work of the Altbier!

 

[Curly79]

Nice. What type of yeast? Best clean that up before the Mrs sees. [emoji3]

 

[Mayor of Mildura]

Haha! The more sour the better I say! Very keen to try this one.

Sounds good to me. I reckon I'll rustle something filthy and sour to bring along too.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

German Ale WY1007. It's 4th generation, 2nd generation was the Wee Heavy which I top cropped from so it might be some super strong mutant strain now haha.

 

[AJ80]

Sounds good to me. I reckon I'll rustle something filthy and sour to bring along too.

I was really hoping you would. I still remember that Flanders from a few swaps ago.

 

[Cocko]

Finally got my brew down and pitched... gonna carb in keg and bottle with a gun so should be ready RTD... hopefully

White XPA Belgian thing...

First brew in months, hopefully it's at least drinkable


Any love on food thoughts for the day?

 

[Yob]

Salad?

 

[Mardoo]

Everyone bring something?

 

[Mayor of Mildura]

Cocko. You said we were having sausage?

 

[Yob]

Cocko. You said we were having sausage?

lots of sausage... pork ones

 

[technobabble66]

I thought it was rotisserie pork. Plenty of pig on a spit, or something he said.

Or maybe just spinning pork

 

[Midnight Brew]

I'll bring hommus, crackers and chips to snack on. I think DJ mentioned something about bringing a salad B)

 

[Cocko]

I do love spinning pork......

Dont have a spit though, I do have a little electric smoker we could throw a couple of chunks of meat in? But if we go low and slow, will probably be later in the day when ready, more like early dinner than a lunch?

 

[Mardoo]

You can all get your meat smoking Friday night after setup and everyone can gobble it the next day.

 

[Nullnvoid]

I have my spit, always willing to bring it.

In other years others have organised the meat to go on it. I can do this if people can give me suggestions as to where to go?

As per previous ones, it's big enough to cater for everyone.



edit spelling because it annoys me

 

[Mardoo]

Nullnvoid's long hot spit has been pleasing all swapgoers with a good spin for years now.

 

[Nullnvoid]

Sad to say, it's attended more swaps than I have

 

[Yob]

but hasnt had more pork spins than Cocko...

 

[Nullnvoid]

No, well that would be impossible.

 

[micbrew]

Happy to bring along the chicken ribs again ... After the Shepparton swap .. I've become addicted to bbq smoking ... Happy to bring along the Webber and smoke us some meat on the day.
...please beware of salad prices
It's a bear market this time of the year !

 

[TheWiggman]

I haven't been camping before where there hasn't been a campfire. Not having one is like a cheeseburger without the cheese. Or burger, sauce and a bland bun. Last night I lit a fire but ran it past a volunteer mate who told me we need a permit this time of year. Has this been looked into?

 

[Nullnvoid]

Shouldn't need a permit unless restrictions are in.

Without looking it up I don't know what council area Cocko is in but I doubt it will first weekend of December. But easy to check during the week before.

Also if restrictions are in we just get a drum or something as that's allowed.

 

[Yob]

How are we off for wood? Is there big wood on site or do we need to tickle some up?

 

[MartinOC]

Believe me - Cocko's got wood....

 

[technobabble66]

Yeah, but we're asking about BIG wood .....
[emoji185]

 

[idzy]

Might be good for those that are offering to bring food and/or food equipment to get a food PM going, just to coordinate, etc. - apologies if this has already happened?

Have a bit going on with getting gear organised, but I might even bring the smoker and fire it up Friday night for some Saturday goodness.

 

[Cocko]

We're good for wood!

Who is gonna take food organising rains? Its brings eternal radness!

[Siborg]

Hey guys, I'm going to have to pull out of the swap. Haven't touched the brewery for a few months. I'll still chip in for a cube (payday tomorrow) and food and I'll pop in at some stage during the day.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

A question of swap meet protocol for you all????

Whats the general view on non attendees grabbing a cube?

As per my earlier message i dont expect I will be able to attend (there might be a slim chance I can pop in for a bit) - I'm happy to chip in the $$ for a cube and would love to get one.

BUT....

I dont want someone that does attend and will be involved in the brew to miss out on a cube.

So my question is should I remove myself of the cubers list and let a reserve cubist move up a spot?
