Vic Case Swap 2011- Xmas In July

[Lecterfan]

Woolworths, the PET bottles cost less than a buck each, most case swaps you get a vast majority of PET`s back.... glass aint worth the hassle but still quite worthy if you are confident how other people store/handle your beer..
Carn the Cats!

oops, my entire case swap, plus back up batches 1 AND 2 are in glass.

Same, in addition, mine should be drunk quickly and fresh, so there should be no risk to anyone for any reason.

vienna lager tasting good at FG. Not time for some lagering at 1C for a couple of weeks.

 

[Hoser]

Pity, Rook. Hope to catch up with you at the next event.

Hoser, you're up!

Just saw this - haven't really been on AHB for past week. In for sure!! Have switched to a Northern English Brown as I'm already working through my APA and wouldn't have enough left to swap :lol:

So just bottled the Northern Brown - we'll see how it works out. Backup will be either an ESB or West Coast Amber that I've just put down fermenting yesterday...

I'm pretty ambivalent about my contribution (a schwarz). It is really quite bland, with only a bit of character from the Ballarat Hersbrucker coming through at the end. Having said that, according to the guidelines it is probably ok, not really roasty or anything, but certainly some aroma and flavour from the carafa to make it more than just a dark lager. I am not sure if there is maybe a bit of diacetyl in it, although it had a good 48 hour d-rest where it was brought back up to just above original pitching temps...plus it had almost 4 weeks at cold enough temps to create a frozen beer slushy.

I do have alternative brews, and am brewing quite hard at the moment so I can always swap a different one, but then I'm guessing there will be enough spectacular beers on offer, so as long as mine is not actually bad then I'm sure it will be ok.

I am going to bring a shiteload of other beers on the day to drink/taste and swap anyway, so hopefully I won't be judged on the one brew alone. :icon_cheers:


edit: don't know if one can be "pretty ambivalent" - is it a quantitative or qualitative state?

Righty Ho.. I dont wanna edit the wikki if it's not a go-er.

anyone for a Spit Roast on the Day??.. cough.. snigger.. seriously though..

local butcher has a reasonable offer on the table which is quite reasonble I think..

Im quite happy to cover the rental of the spit but the quoted 8-9kg of lamb and pork (30 people) possibly as low as $5 a head... max kinda $7...

wadda we want guys?

Sorry, iamozziyoub for not replying to your PM.

Do it. If everyone's cool on chipping in a little for the meat, that'd be great.

p.s. does the butcher do goat meat? I'm thinking of doing a combo of either chicken, gerello and/or goat on my BBQ

What are we brewing so we can work out a recipe and ingredients?

Looks like we're only gonna need 4 cubes, so we should be able to get away with 2 50L systems?

I've always wanted to brew a dunkel, so how about that? I have stacks of BB wheat that I haven't used in a while (maybe too old to use?)

On a side note i kegged and oaked the stout tonight. I'll leave it on the wood until the last moments and keg the week of the swap force carbed from the keg.

[bullsneck]

If you need any dingemins biscuit or aromatic, I've got a couple of kilo we can use for the dunkel.
