Vic Case Swap 2011- Xmas In July

[Yob]

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

Nay Bother man.. Just rang the butcher again and he suggested you give him a call to sort out the best cut for what you want..

Butcher

Planning to get a load of fire wood on the weekend for the fire but will sort that out with you later as discussed.

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?)

I would be interested in a cube from a non BIAB system to see if theres any differance. Happy to supply what ever ingredients are required. Not fussy on the type of beer either. I do have plenty of munich1, vienna and ale if that helps.

Just finished rinsing the yeast, and there is just over 4 weeks to go before the big day, so I'll have to get around to making some beer in the next day or two.

Neo: I need late hops... lots of late hops
*The matrix loads shelves and shelves of hops in to the construct*

Bottled my submission tonight. Big thanks to Mrs R for handling the bottling wand! Tasted pretty nice coming out of the bottling header :chug:

Posted the recipe for those interested.

Just had a look through the recipe. Funnily enough, I saw the brew masters episode where they were raving about how popular their (Dogfish Head) brewery's pumpkin ale was. I'm just so intrigued to see (taste) how pumpkin tastes in an ale. I don't mind the odd roast pumpkin or soup.

damn... some of these entries are way beyond my ken.. none-the-less im totally lookin forward to this :icon_drool2:

I only had two possibilites given my time constraints.. the first went completly out of style and I wasnt happy with the results... predictably.. (will have a few on hand for piss taking) the second I used hops I wasnt familiar with but am (holds breath) just happy with.. certainly happy with parts of the beer that Ive been working on anyway.. Its not the best I have ever turned out and it aint the worst but at least it's not infected

...and it will have to do coz I aint got any others ready and the ones im berwin now I aint partin with h34r:

lookin forward to putting some faces to names :icon_chickcheers:

Have to say just about the same thing. 12 days into bottle conditioning my Northern English Brown my first taste was complete disappointment. Taste was just about spot on to style but almost NO carbonation. And I've left it fairly warm given the weather. Will leave it another week or so and if no change I'll risk adding some dextrose water drops to a max of an additional 1.5 volumes and PRAY no explosions come along for the ride. If that fails I'll resort to my backup West Coast American Amber Ale which has come out in fermentation VERY nicely - dry hopped 80g Cascade/Centennial which seems just about right. I'm really happy with it so it's a decent backup by not giving up on the Brown just yet...

Have to say it will be cool to put faces to names too! On a related note I'm heading on a plane back to the motherland (Canada) for a month on the Monday following the swap so I won't have the fortune of tasting brews fresh. It'll be interesting to see how the ageing process affects all the brews! :drinks:

Saturday was brew day, pics here on the UK's JBK 'Brew day' forum (we don't have anything like that on AHB).

So... bottled my Choco-lot Stout over the weekend and there was more chocolate than roast flavor - quite enjoyable none-the-less. Bottles now carbonating so should be good to drink straight after the case swap...

All bottled and conditioning well, the beer has rounded right out with a couple of months below 4C.

Catch you all in a couple of weeks

Had a 115W welder at Bunnings (Coburg atleast) yesterday for $85. I may have to 'invest' in one.

I'm just in the process of making 60 fresh slants so that I can catch up on some yeast propagation.
If anyone would like to swap yeast-strains at the case-swap, please send me a PM with the details so I can inoculate them over the next couple of weeks.
WLP833, Wy2308 or Wy2206 for the brew-day Dunkel anyone?

Due to my on-going and not yet totally successful long-term-yeast-storage attempts, I wouldn't mind swapping for fresh samples of any of the following strains (or anything else I don't have): Wy1084, Wy1187, Wy1318, Wy1764, Wy1968, Wy2112, Wy2278, Wy3068, Wy2565, Wy3787

Ive got to innoculate some slants of pacman soon so if i have time i'll give you a slant of it to add to the library.

And you might want to try Wyeat 'Greenbelt' since it should be similar to all those US-type yeasts.

All I have to do is 1056, 1728 and 1388. Not much use to you I am assuming. Pretty standard yeasts. If you need any though let me know.

[Golani51]

If anyone wants some of these, and doesn't yet have them (1056, 1728 and 1388), I'll be glad to swap or help someone out who has no yeasts. I am after anything to try- especially for bigger beers, but pretty much anything.
I will be at the Xmas in July too.
