Vic 2016 Xmas in July Case Swap

[micbrew]

Good point ... I think Wayne has real estate for camping ??? TBA

wiggman ... Im sure you mean cube / ingredients etc etc ... price dictated by ingredients

I think VP is in charge of food and will advise what the cost is for food for the weekend

All we need now is a recipe h34r: or at least agreement

looking forward to a big coupla days

 

[TheWiggman]

Food's being sorted via PM and I'll be one of your chefs. I'll be cooking up my infamous Chill Roo Stew and recommend you pack an extra roll of dunny paper so it can be put in the keg fridge ready for the aftermath.

 

[Whiteferret]

Plenty of room for tents/swags, house block size of lawn plus extra back yard area for vans whatever. Seeing that it'll be cold kegs with taps on top will be fine. If you want colder I might have a spot or 2 in my kegerator as well as my keg esky but you will need to bring your own taps and shanks.

 

[VP Brewing]

I'm taking a kegerator and can organise at least one more locally if that makes it easier for people to bring a keg.
Food is coming along nicely and I'll get some info up after the weekend.

Ants in Shepparton in WINTER???? Man, you gotta be kidding!

Kegerators in Shepparton in WINTER???? Man, you gotta be kidding!

Recipe (how may times do we need to re-hash this???):

150Kg of TF Pearl
5Kg of Medium Crystal
750g of Magnum/Sticklebract etc...Whatever hops Yob wants to get rid-of at the time, as they'll only be used for bittering.

That should give us around 1070 into a 500L batch at around 40 IBU's, 20 EBC & 7% ABV potential.

Everything else is up to the individual. BYO cube-hops etc...

We get what we get on the day & be happy with it.

I just want to hang around the fire(s), eat a lot & sink a few bevvies along the way...and talk **** h34r:

... h34r:

Yeah, whatever Yob is happy to get rid of. Fwiw, I'd suggest FWH.
That way timing will def be irrelevant (re: overall boil & diff btw first and last cube to be filled), but more importantly I reckon we'd get a smoother bittering and a little subtle flavour (if it's something other than magnum or warrior)
2c

 

[TheWiggman]

The ants were a joke but the strength of this stew will be no joke. Certainly wasn't when I gave my wife some to try, nor the years of being reminded I apparently tried to kill her.
Considering weather a keg of stout or best bitter might be on the cards. Served at ambient by a campfire amongst fellow brewers in a relaxed atmosphere devoid of ants.
And I'm very adept at talking **** (again, ask my wife).

 

[technobabble66]

...

Oh dude. You'll fit right in.

Vote 1 Best Bitter.
(only because I'm assuming/hoping Yob will rock up with a barreled RIS - that ****'s the Wayne Gretzky of stouts. Though you may see that as a gauntlet. Slapped in ya face. Up to you).

Edit: Actually, he may go the barreled Wee Heavy. So the stout route may be clear.

 

[Yob]

lolz..

as always, happy to donate fresh season hops to the cause, new magnum in today and happy to bring what we need for base bittering,

I'll bring 250g, any left over the host can have.

that would be fitting fate for that keg actually... consider it done.

 

[technobabble66]

*******. ****. Yeah.
Maybe i need to consider staying the night...

Any tip on the "fresh hops"? Hey ... um ... any chance on Fuggles? (actually, i think anything you've got in stock except Galaxy would be fab).
Mind you, ... not good AA% efficiency if we're using Fuggles, or any other noble... What do ya reckon Yob?

 

[TheWiggman]

Seeing as Yob's being generous I might donate something close to my heart. The last vessel of my first big beer, English Barley wine aged 2+ years.

Only about 2l, enough for 6 of my special glasses.

 

[Grainer]

Cant make it now.. will be in borneo/thailand but will get my swap bottles there somehow

 

[technobabble66]

Boooooooo!!

Lame, John. Very lame.
So who's bringing the Dunkel's then?!?
You better be enjoying some damn fine beach to justify this!

Only 250g of Magnum? Jesus! What's the AA on those things? I was calculating at about 12-14%!!
