Chaps,

We will need to close the door on the numbers shortly so that we know how much we need to bottle.

Any one else want in?

Peels, Thirsty and Spills??????????

Rook

 

[brettprevans]

completely OT

one of these days I recon we need to make the swap a double (ie 2 bottles of each contribution). that was we can all enjoy the tasting right away then cellar and try it as they age.

just a thought.

anyway back OT

we need a few more brewers to participate. Come on TB what interesting beers can you come up with? Spills, another belgian from you would be great, peels all your beers are great, just brew something.

 

[Wardhog]

I'm gonna do just the opposite, Fents. I'm not going to brew a beer for the swap, but I believe I've got the all-clear for an overnighter at Tallarook.


BTW, Rook, where'd that Cats avatar go?

Because my weekends are chock-a-block up until the weekend of the swap. I'll get to do one brew for myself at most between now and then.

 

[brettprevans]

Roota069 has at one stage expressed an interest in participating in a swap. Ive PM him and ill give him a call on his mobile tonight to see if he's keen.

 

[Barramundi]

thats it lads the more the merrier !

 

[Fents]

so possibly 19 case's to swap. piss poor numbers imo. Qld get 28 and then ppl lining up on the reserves list...whats happening vic's?

 

[brettprevans]

quality not quantity?!

come on vic brewers ante up.

 

[Fents]

hahaha SA's wont even let ppl in who dont AG! now thats a bit wrong i reckon, seeings i've tasted extract brews in vic swaps which have been better than AG's.

Have been tooing and froing on this one re. dates, I do cod opening first week of december with the mates (mulwalwa), so disappearing the weekend before too Rook`s was never going to go down well with wifey.As Fents has posted, the numbers are a bit low, sooo, I would like to get involved too help out with numbers but attendance is a real 50/50 scenario, as I didnt make the last one I figure non attendance is not the done thing. Whaddayareckon.

 

[Wardhog]

quality not quantity?!

Hahahaha I've just thought of a way I can get involved in the swap.

I'm in the middle of an experiment - one that I've done before, but am returning to a little bit wiser. I made the simplest, blandest, most inoffensive beer I could in an attempt to win over some die-hard megaswillers, it's in secondary now. If the swap numbers are going to finish up around the 20 mark, and everyone is happy to receive a Great Aussie BlandAle(tm), I can join in.

Seriously, this thing is ******* DULL. It still beats the snot out of megaswill, but look at the grist :
48% JW pils
48% JW ale
4% Carapils
mash at 63C
bittering POR to about 18 IBU
US-05 @ 16 down to 1.008

Want me in?

 

[Barramundi]

get in wardy you know ya wanna !!!

Where are all the other Vic brewers, this is a chance to get up to the country and get some fresh air into them lungs and have a great day/night /morning.

Where are all the new brewers that have just joined the forum, or the new A.G brewers, this is a great chance to try multiple top shelf beers.

Don't be shy come along and have fun.

Great stuff Haysie, we look forward to meeting you and also to Wardy for pulling his digit out and doing a brew

It's time, time and time for me

No time to brew
No time to bottle
No time to attend

Given I didn't attend last time, I thought it a bit rude to contribute and not attend again.

Last night I racked and dry hopped a pale ale that has been on the yeast for 4 weeks due to the lack of time!

Full time employment, part time study and building a storage/brew shed is not a combo I'd recommend.
