Vic Brewers Xmas Case Swap 22/11/08

[johnno]

So is there still space for more brewers? From what I can make out there are 28 brewers needed.

I have not brewed for a while and this may be a good start for me to get back into it. I think I may be able to crank out a brew.



cheers

Not as long as we remember Rook's a Geelong supporter..

 

[Barramundi]

[johnno]

OK brewers. I have updated the wiki.

OK. I'm tentative for the swap. Can't attend though.
If I can get something down in the next week, I'm in. Looking like a stout at this stage.

Realise tentative is next to useless, but thought I'd lob in anyway.

Even if I can't make it to the parties, I like the idea of the swap. In fact, I wouldn't mind getting involved in a swap like this more regularly. Maybe quarterly? Or is it just too difficult to organise?

hi P&L - mate if i can get a lager done in time (and i have made it yet) surely you can get a stout done?

the swaps are a bit of organising. well they are when there's a party involved. there's also the issue of getting participants. its only twice a year atm and we're struggling to get participants. if there were more brewers wanting to do it then we could go quarterly.

Being new to AG brewing I am keen to try and sample others beers and work out a few recipes I like.
I would be in for a quarterly swap of beers.

 

[Barramundi]

theres always small swaps that can be organized , im always up for a 6 or 12 bottle swap have organized a few in the past ...


perhaps reg if we get this werribee/western brew 'club' off idea the ground we can have regular 'in house' swaps however the interest in that hasnt been overwhelming either, perhaps you might also be interested in this P&L

This is true. I have no excuses. But will confirm next week anyway.

Personally, I'd find it easier to get involved with a meet and swap session then the full on version. Im saying that with all respect to what sounds like a ripper W/E coming up.

Maybe if it went to quarterly (pending interest) the 'off' swap could be a lite version. Meet, swap, discuss on forum.

Although, before I start talking about increasing frequency, I should commit to the upcoming swap. <_<

For sure.
Numbers dont bother me either. 6-10 sounds fine to me.

The big swaps are hard work. I do like the small swap concept between the big swaps

 

[Barramundi]

will post soon on a small swap unless anyone else wants to have a crack at it ...

 

[haysie]
