[Curly79]

All the best Mike [emoji106]

 

[Mardoo]

Let us know how it goes mate. All the best.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Yeah mate best wishes Mike, far far far from an easy thing to deal with and hope your family are holding up through it too!

 

[laxation]

Wishing you all the best Mike!

 

[malt junkie]

Lads I'll be fine, thanks for the kind words. Besides god (or what ever deity is running the joint) hates me way too much to let me die yet!

 

[AJ80]

All the very best mate. Terrible news and hope you're ok.

 

[micbrew]

Oh holy crap [emoji90] .. Mike just seen this ... we are all thinking [emoji4] good thoughts for you and the family

 

[malt junkie]

OK now back to beer.
The malt mule will be brewing Wednesday, Breakfast stout, so question is yeast. I have a Mystery vial from midnight on the plate that'll be stepped to 1L tonight, or I have Cry havoc and San diego super yeast on their way from CB.

 

[MartinOC]

Silly bugger!

You should've called for a check-in. We're pulling yeast from stock on a regular basis as they get close to BB date & they're freebies (we've got HEAPS of them! All free to a good cause). We could've included a few vials with your order.

Latest offerings included English Ale blend, which would've been perfect for a breakfast stout.

BTW, we sent your lost dhurries box with your yeasties. Up to you if you want to smoke soapy grass-clippings, 'though......

 

[malt junkie]

What don't kill ya only makes ya stronga! I was going to call too!!!New smokes taste better yer right!

 

[malt junkie]

@MartinOC yeast arrived and in fridge- cheers Mate!

Mystery Yeast! The other 2 sound like crap yankie options for a stout - keep them for the IPAs.
How did he go yesterday?

 

[technobabble66]

Out of interest, is it ok to shift the numbers up a little on the Swap List? (e.g.: has anyone in the top 6-7 already labelled their bottles?)
I noticed the list crept up to 25 somehow, rather than the standard 23-24 cap. So now that we're down to 23 participants, i thought i might shift it to fill the slots up to 23 and cap it there (that way its 22 for everyone, 1 for yourself, plus 1 for the host or anyone else deserving it such as the head brewer & co). How's that sound?

I think the Mystery yeast is essex ale WLP 022, brewing got delayed puting the stout down tonight.

IPA .... mmmm, not a bad plan!

the wheat is finished but thinking of throwing some fruit at it, suggestions welcome.

 

[Mardoo]

Pineapple.

 

[technobabble66]

WLP-022 would be great for it.

Not a big fan of fruit in beer, but **** it, it's always good to experiment! Have you considered mandarins? - plentiful, cheap, and i reckon it'd work well in a wheatie. Maybe pineapple + mandarin?

 

[Mardoo]

Marshmallows.

 

[micbrew]

PoPcOrN ...with some crunch perhaps

 

[technobabble66]

I'm concerned with what youse peoples consider fruit.

How about throwing some flowers at it, instead of fruit.?
Like, say, hops??
