Vic 2017 Xmas Case Swap

[technobabble66]

Pardon the ignorance of a first timer, but given there are 5 empty spots in the swap list, does that mean I need to provide 18 beers total?

I'd still stick to the 24. Last time we had extras and just shared them around so you still take home 24.
2 of a kind or whatever. Or just take home what doesn't get taken.

I'd say different - I basically only got 24 bottles out of mine, so I'm keen to keep a few spares if that's doable.
Having said that, I'd agree that you should probably bring a spare or 2, as it's always polite to donate a bottle to some of those deserving, such as the head brewer (plus maybe an assistant or 2), the main food coordinator/contributors, the venue host, etc. Or just have 1 or 2 spares to swap between others who you want to try your beer.
So fwiw, I'll probably bring 20 (assuming 18 swappers) or so of these swap beers plus another few select beers.

 

[technobabble66]

Maybe put a spare cube aside for the host? And he who provides the BFK? (Maybe idzy as he missed out last time when he hosted?).
Not sure if the numbers allow for "donations", but just thought I'd put the suggestion out there.

 

[Mardoo]

Yep, host is already getting a spare cube. Thanks for reminding me to add.

Sorry guys pulling out of the swap as I don't think what I've done is worthy.
Still coming on Friday till Sunday though.
Put myself down for a second cube if available.

 

[Whiteferret]

Anyone interested in hibay reflectors as mill hopper work has done a lighting upgrade and I saved these. Probably hold a 20 liter bucket of grain
About 10 available free if anyone wants one.

Come on guys, still room for more people to take up second cubes

 

[laxation]

BTW, I'll only be at the swap for a limited time on Saturday, as I'm starting my new job Saturday evening. Boohoo! Then again, I'm starting a new job at Forager's Drop. Woohoo! Will probably come for the morning startup of the brew.

what sort of boss makes you start on case swap weekend!

[Midnight Brew]

PM's have gone out. Let me know if I have missed anyone.

 

[AJ80]

There's a 3 tap keezer and 4 tap miracle box here so there should be plenty of cold beer. Bring whatever you like, infected intended or not. Sometimes it's good to bring an infected bottle just to get some feedback from other brewers of what it might be or where you make improvements.

The infected bottle that Wiggman brought to the last swap (Belgian golden strong from memory) was delish. Not all infections taste bad!

 

[malt junkie]

Bottled both swap brews today, with the malt mule, sadly there was an infection (lacto) good news it was the raspberry wheat which is now a raspberry sour, I won't swap this however it has been bottled and will come to swap so take a bottle if your so inclined who knows where it will go. The malt mule thought it was great, me I have the flu still. The offensive summer Stout is tasting good though a little young and I redid my numbers so 8% it is.
