How long do the cubes last before they have to be brewed?

Hey droid,

Any chance you can bring along a bottle of your sour cherry stout? I'll have a bottle or two of my sour cherry stout on Saturday and I'm keen to compare them. Cheers.

Cool man no problemo, I also have the same beer before I added the cherries, which just relied on the Giga Yeast Sour Cherry Funk, so I'll bring a couple of those too.
 
Can one possibly turn up sometime? With a few swap beers and high heat chilli sauces to swap? I'm just not sure when I'll turn up.
PM, text,? I haven't been keeping up with the management network. Who do I PM?
Didn't want to commit then drop out etc. I'll be in for a cube if I can. Doubt that possibility. Willing to throw something into the movement.
So is this a 2 day, 4 day thing?

Dan..

A few of the diehards get together on Friday night to get all the gear set up and set up in swags for the night. This time I believe they are doing doing a practice brew on the friday night.

Main brew will be happening on Sat - folks will come and go as they can. You would be more than welcome to drop in. Saturday will continue you on into the night and for breaky on Sunday.

If youve got enough bottles of something to swap to join the swap there are empty spots.

There is also a few spots on the cubist list and Mofox as head brewer will be happy that they get taken - $40 per cube.

So come along.
 
That's not a bad idea, stick with the recipe and ingredients you have and if people want to choose their own hops for the cube it's their choice. However it would be a shame for you to have a few hundred grams of Chinook lying around, whatever are you going to do with it?
I've brewed an American stout with cubed Amarillo and Cascade and it was easy to go overboard with the hops. For my tastes I wouldn't dry hop it, but then again I like Dr Pepper so make what you will of that.

Ed: this was a response to a post by Mick. Clicked reply then suddenly after I respond another page of replies turn up. Petya?

A few hundred grams of Chinook is never a problem. Never.

I do have a kg or so of flowers in the freezer though...

Looking like some good beers are in this swap! Cmon lurkers, pop yourself on the list and turn up for a laugh and take home some tasty brews [emoji106]
 
@MartinOC To add to the dogs breakfast, There'll be 7 and bit kg of wheat left, and 9 kg trad Ale. Where are we at for hops? Let me and any other takers know? happy to inventory the hop freezer!
 
I was hoping to be involved in the Friday dramas/shenanigans but my wife needs to work until 1 PM on Friday. I'll be there 4 PM at the earliest. I'll check the grain and hop stocks, not sure how much I'll be involved but I'll have the HERMS and brew controller ready for kickarsery.
Come on losers, need some more swap attendees. Do a kit and kilo, surprise me with your skills!
