Vic X-mas In July 2009 Case Swap

[Hutch]

I'm more than happy if people want to brew. I'll help, but don't want to drive.

I've got a 70 litre Mash tun (Techni Ice Esky).
1 50 litre keggle (got another 2 that I need to convert, hopefully they will be ready, but may not be).
1 Rambo burner, which the keggle fits perfectly on.

I think there's enough interest so far to make this a goer, and I'm happy to help drive it, as I'll need to stay semi-sober for kid duties in the evening.
Perhaps we need a separate thread to organise the logistics of this (quantity, beer style, ingredients, equipment, etc.).

 

[WarmBeer]

More than happy to be "fetch-it boy" on the day, as I've never AG'ed before.

Should we look at limiting it to 10, or even 5 litre cubes, so there'll be enough to go around?

Will make the train trip home lots of fun, what with 2 crates of long-necks from the swap, plus a cube of &^%$ing hot wort. Might make arrangements to pick stuff up the next day.

Ooooohhh, all grain brewing, how exciting!!!

 

[Fourstar]

Might make arrangements to pick stuff up the next day.

Dingo mate, i think you better be home on the sunday. i guarantee everyone will want to pickup the next day. I bet i wont be arsed dragging home 28 bottles by hand via the crappy public transport system. not to mention running the gauntlet of death with all the druggo/alchoholics on the epping hurstbridge line!

I had the greatest train ride home tonight. A couple got on @ north richmond with a pram. The top fo the pram has drink holders for baby bottles etc. 1 had a big can of Woodstock, the other was a Kirov Cruizer! The guy pulls the babys milk bottle out of his wu-tang clan jacket and gives it to the mother, then antoher 2 open bottles of kirov cruisers for themselves

Glad i was getting off at the next station.

Now thats parenting!

 

[Wardhog]

I have a 50L mashtun, 50L HLT, and 80L kettle and 4 ring burner + stand that I could contribute to the day. I too will be under my own power, having to drive home. So, Hutch, if you want to form a brewmaster partnership, I'll be in it. I'll just add the condition that we be finished and cleaned up by 5.30.

I know I can wrangle 50L of wort from my system.

 

[Leigh]

Sounds like we might have several brews going? Happy to contribute labour and $$ if we split the wort.

I'll see where you guys get to over the next week.

 

[Barramundi]

im not really keen to brew but am happy to bring gear to help someone else get a brew on
, having said that id be willing to help along the way too ..

i have a 50litre HLT , 50 ltr esky tun and a 50 litre boiler and burner..

 

[Wardhog]

Actually, I'm going to retract the offer of co-driving the brewing. I've just found out I'll be off for a week-long course in Sydney and coming back on the 26th.

It'll likely be a short stay at the swap day - not long enough to see a brew through.

^Not intentional poetry.

 

[Maple]

.... I've just found out I'll be off for a week-long course in Sydney and coming back on the 26th.

It this what the judge handed down in return for the suspended sentence? h34r:

It this what the judge handed down in return for the suspended sentence? h34r:

I pleaded for the death penalty but the judge was in a bad mood and decided I should go to Sydney instead

Why hello there my NSW brothers, why have you all got pitchforks and torches?

 

[Kleiny]

Im in on the brew day, i was gonna bring my system anyway, so all the usually brewing gear.

Rook i will have some 1469.

What beer are we going to make?

Recipe suggestions?

Yes, please.

 

[Kleiny]

Bock went into the bottles last night 7%alc and ive brought them inside to try and carb them.

Tasted great out of the fermenter so should be a good contribution.

Just hanging around for the swap now :chug:

 

[Brewmeister70]

My Kolsch has decided it wants to ferment out further, probably because I let it 'go to sleep' by allowing it to touch thirteen-degrees at one point. It should at least not be sweet like I feared it was going to end up when I racked and Polyclared it last Friday.

 

[Shortz]

I've bottled mine, although the recipe should be for the standard 23litres, rather than the volume i quote, had to stretch it for more people.

I can supply labour, fermenter barrels and a cube. possibly some kesh for ingredients.

 

[chappo1970]

Wow a case swap thread without sheep, barmaids with big hooters, hazing and general tom foolery? You buggers are fair dinkum weirdo's... h34r:

Chap Chap

 

[Fents]

you should stop by one year chappo...more "hazing" than you can poke a stick at, think everyone the last two years has been well and truly hazed out by the amount i smoke. Tom also makes an apperance every year trust me on that one.

As for sheep we leave that to NZers.

 

[beerDingo]

Bottled my DunkelWiesen last night. I wish I had racked it a while ago when it still had a real strong banana smell. It got stuck at 1022, and didn't move for a while untill I racked it, but it had lost a bit of it's smell by then.

 

[Fourstar]

Well im going to dry hop tonight or tomorrow dependant on what time i get home this evening. Ive still got a thick krausen on her. I might skim/crop it and then dryhop as i want the hops IN the beer. Not as a grassy crust on the krausen! GOt to see if all these hops will fit in my tea ball, otherwise they are going in a hopbag or free balling!
