If the rig is gas powered and we ice chill the kegs - really only need power for lighting later in the day and maybe to spin a spit, anyway, we will sort it out.
Spin a "spit"??? Yeah, right...
 
I'm going to regret saying this because of the conotations and the fact, Cocko.

I can bring my spit equipment :)

If it pleases the host

And it's big enough to spin some pork.
 
If we use the same rig as last time (a mixture of Idzy's & Whiteferret's gear), there's two gas-fired kettles/HLT's & 3 large eski's. It'll probably need some sort of large bench/table arrangement to take the eski's etc.

There will still be a power requirement for grain mills, pumps & HEX(s). I've got a crappy little gennie I can bring, but it doesn't have an awful lot of grunt & couldn't handle the whole lot. Also got lots of long power cables, but we don't want the run to be too long.
 
I think we just brew at the house/carport - and go from there.... **** it.

SWMBO will be given a CC and sent to the city.

**** screwing around with generators etc - I will just get rid of the Mrs and Dogs and we will get carport bound.

Sounds good man, should we start a 'Food Crew' ?

Should be good for tables/racking - got some left over from FP warehouse that should work.

Also, if we go carport, my keezer is only a door away.

Being a case swap senior with a total of 1 case swap under the belt, I reckon the last swap worked out alright with a separate thread for food. The whole 'newbies to provide food' concept worked well. I reckon if everyone catered for a meal by show of hands, we'd have more than enough food to go 'round and could cull as necessary if a spit entered the equation.
I can bring back the chilli roo stew but I'm not sure my guts can handle the aftermath again. It would be a dangerous drive back to the border without a refrigerated dunny roll.
 
I might need to pull the plug on this one fellas. Too much on with a new kidlet due around then.
I'm at work at the moment so if someone could update the list for me that would be awesome. If not I'll sort it out tonight.
 
who's house are you all trashing this year?

edit - i see its big cocks turn, what date and time are we trashing it on?

Plan b
Gunna brew all day and brew All night
I think you mean,

Mill and argue about process all night one.
Brew and party all day and night day two
Recover and clean up all day three.

Cocko knows this is a three day event right???
 
Urghhhh working on the 3rd. Will try spin over for arvo/night 'rolling' duties.

Pretty sure recovery is going to involve lots of Nurofen, one of those blow-up ring cushions, and a stick of lip-balm for the chafing.

OK, lets start throwing around some more solid planning - Food, Brew Rig, Kegs, Make up, etc etc...... GO.
Would have thought you would have enough lippy for everyone :wub:
