[TheWiggman]

Angryface.

 

[Curly79]

Whats the go gents? What we brewing on the day?

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Pliny the Elder clone appeared second most popular the last case swap. Just sayin`

 

[TheWiggman]

 

[Curly79]

If we were smart we would have got our hops of HDA.
Anyhow, stiff shit. Who's gunna start piecing this puzzle together?

 

[technobabble66]

Aussie Lager? [emoji185]

 

[TheWiggman]

Love it. Will only need about a sack of BB pale malt, Yob can bring 100g of Super Pride and Martin will have to bring about 200kg of dextrose to split.

 

[technobabble66]

Exzackery!!

Oh wait, isn't the Mayor volunteering to be the head brewer?
In that case I'd suggest either another Belgian Strong (gulden draak or karmelieter?) or a Flanders Red, just to test him out a little [emoji6]
Maybe a triple decocted Munich Dunkel or doppelbock [emoji1]

 

[Yob]

Im sure the OC can look after the crew and if you want 5kg lots I can probably still assist.

I am however still in question for attendance this one, will be the first one Ive missed in 8 solid swaps I think... I will be hellishly busy about then and I dont think I'll be able to walk away for a full weekend.

-_- :unsure: <_<

 

[technobabble66]

Yeah, +1 check with the OC for supplies.
He & Clever Brewing were fantastic with the 2016 Xmas Case Swap brew. Obviously you can't guarantee he/they can repeat that effort, but it'd be worth enquiring.
Probably best to work out roughly the top 2-3 options for the brew day recipe, and then see what is workable at the supply end.
Maybe simply work out if the consensus is for a malty or hoppy (or "yeasty"), mild/medium or strong beer? Then go from there for a specific recipe.

I should probably butt out from here on, as i won't be able to attend either

 

[reardo]

Hi guys. It is with great sadness that I cannot attend this years July swap. I apologise for the late notice. Bigchamp also asked me to remove his name from the list.
Hope to catch you all in December [emoji106]

[malt junkie]

Seems we're dropping like flies at the mortein factory! I too have been given the word; too many family events and interstate travel June/July. So unfortunately I'm dropping out. Though I've been given a firm nod for december so I guess all is not lost.

Mike

I'm beginning to think that the tyranny of distance is at play here.

Given the rapidly dwindling numbers, I'm wondering if this is actually a good time to call a halt & pull the pin early, rather than avoid a fizzer with not enough hands to make it work on the brewing/catering.

Thoughts?

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I will almost certainly do my usual late withdrawal.

I'm sure I will get the brew done in time but - yes the distance is a bit tyranical for me

So I will probably be a non attending swapper again if I can

Should we start a new list of who's still keen on going? I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing yet.

 

[Mardoo]

C'mon guys, who the hell is going to drink my Wee Jobbie?














AKA the Wee Heavy from the 2015 Winter Swap that's been barrel-soured and aged. Yes Martin, we know not you :icon_vomit:

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Swap meet at the new Clever Brewing premises....

I hear it's moving into an old bunnings building so there should be plenty of room!

 

[BrockHops]

Gday.
Brock here, new member/hack brewer.
I've been referred to this post by another member as I live in Mildura.
I'd like to be included, I've just gotten back in the game , so I may be just a spectator

Thanks.
