Vic 2017 Xmas in July Case Swap

[Nullnvoid]

Sounds good dj! make it happen

By the way, has anyone heard from Idzy lately

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Alright then, I'll shoot out a PM to all attendees with bank details. It is looking like folk staying Fri and all Saturday it's $50 for food. Folks coming for Saturday $25 for food.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

20 swaps is a good number - especially if Im going to try and submit two beers.

@DJ_L3ThAL - Have you come up with a $amount for the food yet? Not wanting to complicate things for you but will there be a different food cost for those that are only comoing for Sat lunch as opposed to Friday thru Sunday?

 

[GrumpyPaul]

youre a mind reader DJ

I redid the numbers based on peeps who have confirmed they are in for which days in the FOOD thread.... we will actually be a bit short on cash based on that... so can I please ask if peeps who are 'maybes' for say two nights instead of one to try and confirm if you can so I can check we can reimburse everyone for food. Otherwise I'll look at dropping the amount of food accordingly or we can up the Saturday cost to $30 but I'd prefer to get the numbers correct ...

Have updated DJ - happy to pay and get it out of the way mate, thanks for organising!

 

[technobabble66]

Sorry Deej. I won't know until the day whether I can attend Friday. I can bring the extra $25 then fwiw, otherwise if you need solid numbers, count me out of Friday and I'll work around it (ie: grab food en route, etc).
Happy to do $30 for Saturday as well if that makes life easier, by the way.

EDIT: Now looking very unlikely to attend Friday night, SWMBO says she needs my company. Can't really blame her, she's only human

I think that's a great suggestion. Really trying to avoid this becoming an algorithm to work out costs based on how many minutes everyone is attending for

If we make the costs
Friday only attendance $20
Saturday only attendance $30
All weekend attendance $50

That ensures everyone gets fed and everyone who has paid for food items get reimbursed their out of pocket. I'll shoot around some PM's now with bank details.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Bring LOTSA LOTSA cubes -there's going to be a SHITLOAD of wort available this weekend.

I should have about 30x 10L cubes I can contribute to the cause of said "Dogs breakfast Ale", complete with additional golden syrup "sugaz" to add to the complexity of this fine, fine beer....

Howdy Guys, sorry I have been a bit MIA. Hard to keep up with this forum moving at a fast pace compared to distilling forums. Still coming and looking forward to it.

Also with the case swap. The beer I have brewed is very fruity but not quite ready yet. Think it needs another week or two at least. Also how do I prep this.

Do I number each bottle with my number? Add a tag saying not quite ready yet? How many in total?

Cheers

Easiest way is to pop a "spot" sticker on the lid with your number. Others go real fancy with awesome labels that are really hard to get off later. But they look the shiz.

If you have an estimate of when it'll be good to drink, just pop that after your name/beer in the swap list. Normally what comes to pass is we'll start a tasting thread and the infos in the swap list get carried across.

My excuse too... but um, with *my* missus.

24 Bottles?

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I think the agreed number is 20 bottles - you'll go home with 19 bottles. tradition is that the host gets a bottle of each.

Cheers. That means I get to keep four for me. Winning!

YAY! I was wondering how we might be able to package this lot without chucking a heap of it.

Bring 'em along & we'll deal with the details later on the fly (much like the beer itself..).

Cram as many as you can in Micbrew's new chest freezer & car (& my trailer) for the return journey when he picks it up on Friday. We'll work the rest out as it happens.

 

[Camo6]

While I have no idea as to whether I'm working Saturday or as to when I might turn up, I'm happy to throw in a lobster or two if I arrive in time for a feed. Also happy to invest in a cube from the main brew and/or a 10l from the DB brew.
I'll definitely be turning up to pick up the laundry deter.... PBW, so happy to take advantage of any other bargains to be had. I struggle to find time to brew nowadays but fermenting wort is still within my grasp.

I've loaded a few extras some bigger than standard. Fill what's what and see where we end up. Checking the cube hops in the morning... this may need some balance!

 

[MartinOC]

Balance-schmalance!

I've got a couple of Kg of Stirling ~8% for bittering & discovered some extra pils & Munich malts last night (Kg TBA) that can go in.

Also a Kg of "Something English" hops (believe me - got them from Yob & that's the labelling). Maybe a 5-min. addition would be prudent?

How much base malt do we have again? I can chuck-in a bag of JW Trad Ale if it looks like we'd be low. And some Pearl, GP, more JW Trad...... **** I've got a lot of malt I need to use-up!

Does someone have a Beersmith-y type app thingy on their phone to work-out the "improbables"??

 

[technobabble66]

RIS + labeling =

... a Kg of "Something English" hops

[emoji1]

Very disappointed I'll miss the Friday night, both in catching up with everyone in the smaller group and the brewing shenanigans.
How much is it looking likely for the cost per cube of the Mongrel Bitter?
I might be keen for a (10L?) cube if there's any (cheapish) surplus. Might be very useful as a "starter" for a run of 1469...
Would you have any need for a few kgs of Victory? If yes, I might be able to get it to DeEj to have it there on the night.
