I haven't done one of these before but have already bottled 26 plastic bottles of American Pilsener. There ain't no more. How many punters got over the line in the last swap?

 

[brettprevans]

I brew a 22L brew for caseswaps. thats 29 longnecks. if there's less participants I just have a few extra for myself. If we were constantly having lots of participants then I'd breww slightly more to be safe. im never going to complain about having to drink some extra beer.

I cant remember how many there were in the last one. i think 22 brewers?

Nearly fell over last night when the missus said "what time will you be heading to the case swap"! Have put myself down as tentative at this time.

 

[therook]

If any of you blokes want a Coms rack to take home, i have a couple of spares in my shed.
Some people use them for there AG setup
I might also have a heap of 12 volt batteries looking for a good home

Maple,

Cut-off was Friday and everyone has had time to say yeigh or neigh.

So 24 it is.

And just for further clarification, and for the avoidance of doubt, we are submitting 24, of which you will in turn, receive 24, one being that which you have submitted, correct?

 

[Fents]

brews been brewed and yeast pitched this morning.!

 

[Wardhog]

Had a taste of the Great Aussie BlandAle(tm) last night. It's turned out better than I intended it to.
Given a few more weeks in the bottle, I might be a bit sad to be giving this one away.

Therefore, you really only need to submit 23...no use giving a bottle of yours a round trip to the swap point and back to your place.

Hey All,
beerDingo here. Been brewing for about 4-6 months. Been doing partials. Fents stopped me from just putting the cans into the fermenter, and came over with a kilo of grain, and some hops. Was happy how it turned out, and kept on from there. Just done a couple of full grain brews.
So, I did a Coopers Green Partial, but must have mixed some bags up from a full grain, and there was around 3kg of grain, rather than the 1.5 i've been using. So, the partial is around 6+%... I also did a full grain pale ale, so I'll bottle them both tomorow, and try them just before the swap, and give you the more drinkable one. I'm just starting out, so it wont be up to the standards of the veterans, but will be good to see where I'm at on the scale. Anyway, look forward to meeting you all and drinking your beer!
regards
bD

It's easier to have all 24 bottles there as that way you dont have to look through 23 groups of bottles to see which one is yours.

i think 24 including 1 of your own makes the sorting job a lot easier
