Vic 2016 Xmas in July Case Swap

[MartinOC]

Just had a chat with Heath (Curly79) & we're going to mosie-on-up to be there when we get there on Saturday morning with the bulk malt.

Judging by previous experiences, the Friday night attendees will still be pissed/hungover from the night before, so it's not a critical ETA..

 

[Whiteferret]

Paul just dropped some stuff off and let me know I stuffed up my directions I'm first on the LEFT.I've edited the PM to suit.

 

[VP Brewing]

The guy across the road was going to have the best weekend ever! But I've ruined it for him ha ha

Friday's usually setup and milling..

Ill just Park that there...

and not an insubstantial amount of imbibe... Granted

Covered

Legend! Thanks very much MB, I really appreciate it.

 

[MartinOC]

Yeah, but neither of us will be in a position to rock-up on Friday.

We'll be there early-ish on Saturday (perhaps 8.30-9.00), all bright-eyed & bushy-tailed (not like the bunch of dipsomanic despots that are left-over there from Friday night).

Have everything ready to go gents....

 

[Yob]

Oh good, someone needs to make sense of it all...

 

[Whiteferret]

Bar is ready.


Pork in the smoker also doing some bacon and a ham seeing that it's fired up.
A couple of hours on the smoke and then into the oven low and slow over night.

fixed
500L of boiling liquid, 100 odd kg of malt some hops what could go wrong??

 

[Yob]

Nothing, manticle isn't coming

 

[AJ80]

One of the kegs in my fridge has a leak on the gas post, so I can't disconnect it for long periods. So our options are:

• Bring the keg of pale, clear, must-be-drunk-below-freezing Aussie lager and my CO2 bottle
• Bring my Yorkshire bitter (to be kegged this weekend) and someone else is kind enough to charge my keg

Any Carlton Draught fans out there rooting for option 1? Come on, it'll be a nice change from all the hops...

Late to reply I know, but very keen to try your Aussie lager and chat through your recipe/method.

 

[AJ80]

Getting excited chaps. Planning to get there mid-morning on Saturday. No kegs, but a broad selection of bottles are ready to go. Mostly dark stuff + some funky and sour brews.

.... Mostly dark stuff + some funky and sour brews.

Excellent, something to wash the hops resin off with

Well it looks like I'll be giving this one a miss unfortunately. Things are not ideal at home and I cannot afford to be away at this time and have been asked to stick around.

So hope you all have a crazy arse time and take lots of pictures so we can join in from a far.

See you all at the Christmas swap.

As I'll be home, might try to lay down my own beer I think, or start a cube from the previous swap

 

[Curly79]

No joy. We will have a beer for you mate. Catch up next time[emoji106][emoji481]

Russ you'll be sorely missed mate, but you've gotta look after your family first - which then gives you browny points to spend on beer activities. Cheers

Yeah, there are worst places I could be, so that makes it easier. Family always comes first!
