Vic Case Swap 2011- Xmas In July

[Wolfy]

Haysie I am that paranoid/insecure that I have a spare brew sitting there ready

Same, both of the beers in the fermenting fridge just now are going to go into long-necks, that way if the dedicated swap-beer does not turn out as intended, there is always a backup ... or two.

 

[haysie]

Lecter, I was like that once upon a time ago, sounds like your under control though.
Its probably the guys who brew late, dont taste it, present flat bottles that arnt awesome beers. Most of them are though, checking the players this swap there will some be some rippers.

Hey Hey All...

Just giving you a Heads Up. I have brewed my Case Swap brew (TTL Strongarm) and it's sitting patiently in the brew cupboard.

BUT...There is a chance that I'm going overseas for a friends wedding in the first weekend of July. Still unconfirmed, but the misses is extremely excited and my attempts to push the date back isn't really an option...

So..FOURSTAR be ready. You might just get a run.

 

[Hoser]

I'm just brewing something every other week with fingers crossed I get the call....

If FOURSTAR gets in I'm ummm... oh yeah..... still #3 in the depth chart. Back to the minors with you rookie!

Still looking forward to getting out on the day anyway!

I have mine sitting in the fermentation fridge ready to be bottled. If its the same as the test brew then its quite an interesting beer (sweet stout that is amber, not black. Plays with your head a little bit). Its been in there for about a month as I went OS. Will test this weekend and either bottle it for the swap, or keg it for a B.A.R meeting and brew something else.

 

[Fourstar]

about to keg one of my stouts on friday and repitch for the second. whatever is better out of the fermenter will be oaked for as long as i can in the keg before force carbing and bottled.

I'll leave it in the keg for as long as possible. At least then if i dont get the call, i'll have a buttload of beautifully oaked dry stout. :icon_drool2:

 

[Steve@PMF82]

This oaked stout you keep mentioning sounds very tasty.
I think you should just give a bottle away to everyone out of the goodness of your heart :wub:

I have bottled my common, so at the swap it should have been bottled around 10weeks, around 5.5% and 41 ibu so a little age should not hurt it.
I am quite happy with how it has turned out so far, i think it will be my best beer yet, maybe i wont want to swap it after all!
Nah....i am really looking forward to trying everyone's beers.

Hoser, if you don't make it to the swap, bring some with you anyway. Its always good to get some feedback on your brews and share war stories/brews.

 

[Siborg]

You guys are sure well prepared :super: , I dont plan on brewing my mine until 3 weeks before. It is a beer that needs to be best served grain to brain 4-6 weeks.

What you brewin, Haysie? Any more clues besides that? Something hoppy? wheat?

 

[bullsneck]

Can anyone help me out with 20+ longnecks? I'd be very appreciative.

I went to the Brewery (mum and dads place) only to find my bottles have been disposed of.

PM if you can help out.

Thanks Siborg will do. I'm going to bottle this weekend the APA that I planned to swap if I get in. Tried it tonight and it's come out really citrusy/evergreenish. I followed the APA in Brewing Classic styles but then dry hopped with 40g extra mix of Cascade/Centennial. Hoppier than I think the recipe is meant to be but maybe that will mellow out in bottle....

And don't forget I'll bring some chocolate!

Looks like you're in luck. Names been added to spot 22. which was marked as "out"
2nd stout is 1/2 way through fermentation so it will be hitting the oak mid next week for a month of soaking in the keg!

Cheers.

 

[Fents]

whats the swap day details? date, time and address? going to do my best to rock along, no promises though.

9th of July, at Siborgs place. I'm sure somebody will PM you once the address has been given out.

Usual kick-off time, but we all know the fun doesn't really start until the sun goes down...

Just bring along the bubs, I'm sure you'll have no shortage of drunken slobs eager to offer him his first introduction to the amber nectar

Something inbetwix Si, A hoppy 40% wheat. A Stone n Wood clone.
Pulled out bud, not in by interest to enter this one. Goodonya for sticking your hand up and doing the hosting part, take my hat off to anyone for doing that.
Sure you will all have a blast and the best of fun and beers of course.

Haysie

Allover it wernt you !! Mr Secretary of everything!

Tip1, Stop talking yourself up as an expert, your beers are not that good.
Tip2, Give feedback, besides your mates.
Tip3, Dont catch trains at night.

edit, i thought it was Siborgs/Manticles Wiki? Wrong huh, anyone drops in and takes over

No, i was notfied by a current swapper a spot was free.

Tip1, Get your facts right. I give feedback* to most swappers. Infact my first swap i reviewed EVERYONE.
Tip2, Be open to opions, other than your own.
Tip3, Stop turning everyones threads into a shitfight.

If i wanted to listen to the opinion of an arsehole i would have farted.

*Glad i finally got some constructiive feedback from someone. Too bad it came from a source which has no credability.

 

[WarmBeer]

edit, i thought it was Siborgs/Manticles Wiki? Wrong huh, anyone drops in and takes over

I am the member who notified Fourstar of the opportunity to take part in the swap.

As the starter of the wiki, I am happy to take responsibility for monitoring it for changes, and when I saw a position became available, notified the next person on the Stand-By list that a spot was open.

 

[haysie]

Tip3, Stop turning everyones threads into a shitfight.

F### off *****.
No threads have become a s###fight.
Your imagination again. Its all me its all me aka some committee you sit on.
I was posting here simply to say......"Who the f### do you think you are" You come back with dribble and no substance. You shitcanned the swappers the last 2 meets only gave feedback to your mates. True? Dont bother replying, this is Siborgs thread and not yours to thrash out spots becoming vacant etc...

edit @ Warmbeer, no problems with that, just an issue with the attitude.

Allover, no lost sleep, move on

 

[Fourstar]

You shitcanned the swappers the last 2 meets only gave feedback to your mates. True?

You have no idea do you. Its called tongue in cheek, everyone that was involved in the 'swap that never happened' knows of the joke and there is no malice intended whatsoever. I have not "shitcanned" anyone. i give honest feedback, something i expect from anyone else.

Being somone who was not involved in said swap can just crawl bank under that bridge you came from as your opinion means nothing.
