Vic 2016 Xmas Case Swap

[TheWiggman]

Bad news driod, never a good thing for anyone to go through.

Swap-related query - makes sense for me to bring my chest freezer? Want to make sure I have somewhere to plug it in as it takes up quite a bit of ute space.

Also realised it's 4 days until I meet Cocko. The suspense!

 

[technobabble66]

V sad, droid. As MJ said, family comes first.
(PS: my "like" = commiserations).
Hopefully see you at the next one!

 

[technobabble66]

FWIW, my backup brew is now looking dubious for use in the swap (may not hit FG in time - mutha trucka!!!), so i may well have to withdraw from my prime spot in the swap over the next day or 2.
Disappointed is an understatement!

 

[Mardoo]

What about your frontup brew?

 

[technobabble66]

Yeah, there'll be a variety of bottles supplied.
*Might* try a mini-keg of sumtin-sumtin, haven't decided what.
Was planning on choosing 1 of 4 kegs, plus having a Red IPA for the swap; and the remaining 3 kegs go towards my post-xmas Boys Trip. Due to my M44 series failing (3 beers planned), i now just have 2 mini kegs (Swap ESB + Red Ale), so deciding whether to sacrifice 1 for the swap or just stick to bottles - probably go with all bottles to keep it simple.

On the plus side if i just go with bottles, i've got 3 new lagers (Hoppy Amber, Red Xperiment, Munich Dunkel) i'm keen to get feedback on, plus a Strong belgian Red/Dubbel, plus the ESB & Red ale. Sadly no time to do a new Aussie ale

Happy to be a critic! I can help you out with the lager because I'll have my Aussie pils that I'm hoping everyone thinks is shithouse so I have heaps left to drink over summer.

That is sad. That all POR AA you did was awesome!

Bring esky, bring ice, the availability opposer Willie very limited. Plan for not having any and you can't go wrong

 

[micbrew]

Shout out for a electric kitchen knife .. for the spit roast

Looks like the weather is gunna be alright ta boot.

3 more sleeps

 

[Yob]

You can sleep?

I'll be bringing my opposer Willie.

 

[malt junkie]

You can sleep?

No, but the kids can, which gives me time to play car tetras in my head, can't start loading till I return form lunch tomoz with a load of brew bling. (not all mine)

 

[MartinOC]

A couple of pints of RIS with a late-boil addition of Methaqualone should fix that for you.... B)

I can bring an electric knife Saturday morning. I'll bring a spare 9kg bottle of gas too.

Chucked this into my autocorrect back translator and still came up confused. I can bring an esky and ice but the keg/s won't fit in my esky.

 

[Mardoo]

you do know he meant electricity, yes? granted, he's from the past so he says "electricity", not power.

 

[MartinOC]

I'll be bringing my opposer Willie.

You can leave your bloody Willie at home, thank you. One rampant Cock(o) is more than most of us will be able to bear on the day.

 

[Yob]

Speed typing kills.. Only the bottom of the keg needs to be chilled, it will be ok as long as we have ice.. Served many a keg outdoor in this way.

I'll be bringing as many eskies as I can fit in the car

 

[Schooner_downunder]

Droid - If you do end up making for the day, happy to give up my spot.

I won't be arriving until after lunch but happy to be on clean up crew for the gear if the boil starts before I get there. I'll bring a few eskies with plenty of ice as well.

PS - Besides the great photo of Kangaroo Ground, is there an address for the famous chez cocko?
