Vic Brewers Xmas Case Swap 22/11/08

[therook]

Any idea when fire restrictions come in in your area rook? Ours came in mid December last year but I know others who got restrictions in early November

We'll be right leigh, we can have the spit in the shed and if there are any restrictions then we wont be able to have a bon fire.

[Cummins]

Why not! I promise this time my entry will be top notch to make up for my woeful one last time.
Any reason why there is 28? Seems a bit odd, 24 would be better?

edit: I also voted 22nd, first 2 weeks novermber are uni exams

fents , whats this horrible accusation of me doing untoward things inside your house , im sure all that was outdoor work,,,

 

[chris.taylor.98]

I'm in.

In regards to timing I'm voting late Nov, I think there are going to be a lot of us trying to nurse our livers for a few weeks after ANHC.

What's the unholy obsession with plastic?

2. The bottles must be PET. No other types of bottles are acceptable.

From the PET bottle wiki on AHB:
"Glass Pros:
-Glass cannot contaminate beer"

That's pretty much all that's important to me.

Do I have to buy a plastic fermenter to make my case-swap beer, too?

No but seriously, sounds like a great time esp out at rook's place... would like to be a team-player and make the swap contributing something nice that some brewers may not have tried... like my triple decocted 60% rye roggenbier or Oud Bruin... but in PET? Seriously?

edit: added the word 'Glass' to Pros:

I will be able to attend if it late Nov. Have sold house and will be moving early Nov. Im up for travelling to the Rook's. I'll just ride my new bike up there and crash on a floor.

PET v glass - PET is a lot simplier to transport/sort. it fits neatly in standard boxes and you dont have a f*ckn mess like we did at Spills'. but whatever - whoever is organising gets to set I rules I recon.

 

[reg]

I am happy to continue to help organising with Rook.
I am rostered on to work the 22nd November but if that is the date set then so be it.
I could see a butcher mate of mine to try and get a pig or lamb for the spit. although closer to Rook would be preferrable.
He also does those salads you buy from the supermarkets etc in bulk (2.5kg).
If we get organised we may even be able to organise some glasses with the AHB logo and Vic xmas case swap 2008 etched into it.
Should be good.

 

[hairofthedog]

ive already voted for the 22nd as the swap day but if it helps get wardy & reg there id be happy enough with the 29th instead

 

[Barramundi]

29th works for me if it means others will be involved that otherwise wont be able to be ,

 

[reg]

I can get some of the handle dimple pots for the event as well.
We can get then etched or engraved with "VIC XMAS SWAP 2008".
The pots are 290ml and as such the old girl cant use them in her pub and has kindly offered them up for the event.
Can get 28 pots might be able to scrounge up an extra couple, have to hunt through the pub.

I like the fact that we will have 28 swappers,

I think the rules should be changed to PET recommended(not compulsory) I don't think we should be making people buy multiple boxes of pet bottles just for the swap, and if people want to use glass, they should be catered for.

might want to rethink that as many a tennats larger pot got broken at the last swap we did. Im still finding glass in the backyard thankyou very much hairofthedog! (lucky there were gis glass's )

 

[hairofthedog]

maybe we should get plastic cups like at the footy & write AHB XMAS SWAP in black texta
