Vic 2016 Xmas in July Case Swap

[Grainer]

I think my organisation of the bottles so far has been pretty much flawless.. don't need these....just common sense.. If anything.. MARK YA BLOODY crates! Thats the pain int he arse bit when people walk away.

 

[awesomefury]

Like the rules Idzy. They should be cut and paste so they are at the top of the list each time someone is added. My pet hate is not the PET bottles believe it or not, but people pulling out at the last minute and leaving us short 6-8 beers. So I propose a rule around this to reduce the problem (in red below). Thoughts?


Swapping

• Swap beer is bottled in PET bottles (this is for everyone's safety)
• Swap beer should be either a.) a tried and tested recipe, or b.) something you have brewed for the first time and enjoy
• Provide enough for all the swappers and an additional for the host (optional provide the rest of the case for the host)
• Clearly label your bottles with your swap number (I am the one probably most guilty of this)
• no hefe, Belgium yeast is banned and no rye or wheat malt.
• ​It is etiquette to provide at least 4 weeks notice if you are unable to provide your swap beer (this is to give those on the reserve list a chance to brew). To this end please list the details of your swap beer at least 4 weeks prior to the day (If you do not and do not respond to a PM, your spot may be given away).

Cubing

• 20 litre cubes (if you don't have one, please invest as it is unfair on a.) people filling from the kettle to be faffing about half-filling oversized cubes, and b.) on the other cubers if your extra cube volume does in fact get filled).
• Bring your cube labelled, rinsed and sanitised
• It's your brew too, so help out where you can and don't forget to offer
• Collaboration brew days are about being present, be there ideally throughout the brew, not just at cube collection time

some people object to cleaning up afterwards!

Do you even Stag Bro?

Do you even Stag Bro?

I have to admit that fortunately, Martin, I've never been rostered on stag jerking duties. And I truly hope I never am. However, I'm more than happy to find out from those experienced as to whether it removes graffiti.

I count 24 stubbies in a slab

wonder if we can fill this up..

Or distill it (apologies to the Mod's that are likely to jump all over this like a big black Rottie)..

1. If you put your name down to attend/swap, fulfill your promise.
2. Unforseen circumstances? Sure, it happens. Pull-out & notify early/ASAP, rather than wussing-out at the last moment.
3. Step-up & help-out with the entire brew-day & swap, from start to finish - wherever, whenever & however required. It's a team-effort. Don't wait to be asked or told to do something. Volunteer!
4. Food - See point 3.
5. Bring LOTS of your own beer (& be prepared to drink everyone else's). That's going to be your education. Not everyone likes every style.
6. Ditch any pre-conceptions & your ego at the front gate upon arrival.
7. Bring your sense of humour & try not to lose it for the duration (it's gonna hurt otherwise.... :lol: ).

I'd be happy to bring the webber along and fire it up for the day. Turducken burgers anyone?

 

[heyhey]

I'd love to attend if spots come available.

Put your name down (currently!!! B) ) as a non-swap attendee.

Rock-up with beers.

Simple!

Martin does not like this. :icon_vomit:

Martin cannot be held responsible for others' poor decisions. -_-

Martin is a bit of a stylistic purist, anally retentive & ferociously opinionated (in the nicest possible way... h34r: ).

Martin should shut the **** up every once in awhile & let others get on with their own beery experiments.... :beerbang:
