Vic July 2012 Caseswap!

[Yob]

****... who was it who had one at the last swap? Peaky Maybe...? But he's not attending so thats out...

who has a motorised mill that can bring to the party? My little old Ryobi just mananges 6kg on a single battery.. 40 odd kilo? :blink: phaaaark that.. we is in NEED :lol:

 

[Yob]

Just a reminder my HERMS can only hold about 13kg comfortably for 55 litres at 5%, 75% efficiency..
Fents maybe 25kg ish?
Cheers
Trippers

The grain bill for a double is about that... the recipe is in the other article HERE

probably best to keep your system to a double? :unsure:

:icon_cheers:

 

[manticle]

I picked up a bad of Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner last weekend but it wont be enough for 7 cubes... according to the recipe we will need 42kg of WBP for the base malt... I also have the Weyermann Munich I Covered

Just want to put it out there that we may (do) need a bit more, I know Manticle has his name on some WBP but am unsure if it will cover all the needs.

Thank Feck we will have use of the motorised mill... er.. we DO have access to the motorised Mill Yeah? :blink:

Yob

I've got some and can get more. Either bo pils or pils will work (euro only though) and if I can get dingemans in time, we'll throw some of that in. Was looking at castle malt somewhere online recently - very interested in giving that a shot too.

Someone scale up the recipe on beersmith (or whatever), adjusting for the system efficiency of the two systems (need that info from Fents and Trippers) and we can sort out ingredients and contributors a little more thoroughly.

 

[Yob]

and we can sort out ingredients and contributors a little more thoroughly.

agreed..

though plenty of time to do this, IMO it's better sooner than later..

Taking Hairofthedog out as he's not going to brew in time

close as i can get it lol had a few

4 cubes only might not really squeeze 5 comfertably. dont wants mans falling off cliffs on swap day

 

[Wolfy]

After entering a beer that needed some extra conditioning time in the last two swaps, and then not getting the carbonation level where I wanted it, I was only going to enter this (and future) swap if I was sure I had brewed and conditioned the beer as I wanted it. To achieve this I set 30-days was the minimum comfortable deadline. While the new system is virtually setup and could be used tomorrow, I'd not expect to brew anything special it's first time out, in addition, the yeast I wanted to use for the swap-beer has not grown as quickly as expected (perhaps due to the cold weather, or some issue with the parent-culture).
Unfortunately, as a result I have run out of time to brew a swap-standard beer - so I removed my name from the list.

Hopefully I can bring a drinkable beer (or two) on the day, since keg-conditioning should be quicker than bottle conditioning.
(I don't have a CPF so attempting to fill swap-bottles from the keg is not an option).

 

[Fents]

Gday all swappers and non swap attendees. Well the big day is fast approaching and weI are working hard to make this an awesome swap. We are trying to work out the best way to cater for the event and wanted your feedback and commitment to attendance on the day!

WE get everything from the Queen Vic / Preston Market
Approx $20 / $25 based on 35 people attending

I thought there was more than enough food at the last case swap which was closer to Option 2, and by looking at the Option 1 list it seems you could be over-catering by quite a bit.

trippers - don't worry too much about colour, especially considering guidelines and texts like farmhouse ales all suggest biere de garde can be pale, gold/copper or dark.

Are we doing all biere de garde (eg both systems?)
