Vic Brewers Xmas Case Swap 22/11/08

[reg]

On Saturday I will be bringing up a keg, gas bottle, regulator and bronco tap.

I always have problems when I gas up a keg so normally just gas up over a couple of weeks.
I am running low at the moment so would be interested to see someone gas my keg up to see how it is done properly.
All I have done is fill the keg with beer and filled the dead space with gas.

Any takers to show me their quick gassing methods?

Cheers
Reg

Congratulations hairofthedog ... you better drink one for each us attending the swap in way of celebration (the baby usually sleeps most of the time for the first week or so anyway)

 

[chris.taylor.98]

Well I tried my contribution to the case swap again last night, and I have to admit that it is not nearly as good as it was a month ago (when it took out second place at the nationals).

Seems this Ringwood ale yeast has kept going in the bottle and has developed a distinct "perfume" flavour that does not really add to the overall experience.
It is not infected or have any other of the normal issues, its just odd.

Well I guess it will be learning experience for what not to try for a case swap.

Next time I will stick to a yeast that I actually have some experience with.

And I suggest that it gets drunk reasonably quickly, before it has a chance to change further.

congrats Hairofthedog. so theres a puppy running around! good stuff.

Rook - I think Maple and I will still be riding up so I doubt I'll have room on the back of the bike for a mattress, so if I can bags some floor, a bed, whatever (so long as its inside given that it mnight rain) that would be ace. I assume Maple will be the same.

cooked dead animal sounds good to me. I dont care what type it is.

 

[Maple]

yeah, about that rain thing, if there's any chance of showers the patrol gets the guernsey. yep - fair-weather rider....
CM2 - i'll give you a bell later in the week when the forecast is a little more certain. you're welcome to catch a lift if I'm not riding.

Rook, how are we set for beer for the event?

I should have an APA on tap by tonight.
Reg is bringing a keg
I think Fents is bringing a keg

Is anyone else bringing anything?

Rook

 

[Fents]

beerdingo's bringing a keg i think.

wouldnt stress too much everyone usually (read:should) brings loads of beers on the day.

 

[apd]

How many bottles are we down to? 23?

Yep, I think that's right. #18 is still marked as free in the wiki article so I'm assuming we only need to supply 23.

I'll bring a Tap-A-Draft of Irish Nearly Red. If no one likes the beer I suppose we can blow it up or something.

In other news, Rook, I'm not going to be able to guarantee the time I get there, but GODDAMMIT I'M COMING ALONG. It might be an idea to organise someone else to pick up the bread on the way like I was going to.

Can someone put up their hand to call into a Baker's Delight on the way and pick up some bread?

 

[Fents]

i'll do it if no one else will but we are leaving friday morning (fishing@eildon) so it may not be the freshest of fresh.

 

[Maple]

I can also tentatively put my hand up. Happy to do it, but will need to be driving up, and I think that's pretty much confirmed given the forecast. If someone else wants to jump in, go for it. I was thinking i'll be bringing a keg as well, so 24 PETs, a keg and bread, might pose a few problems on the bike.

 

[Fents]

maples the bread winner!!! show us how its done map's.

 

[chris.taylor.98]

I will bring a keg of Hefeweizen (only 1 week out of the fermenter ).

 

[Barramundi]

ive got a couple of 9ltrs and heaps of bottles comin... wont be a shortage of drinking matter i wouldnt imagine ...
