Vic X-mas In July 2009 Case Swap

[Barramundi]

Yeah all PET is easy thats for sure. Made bottling a breeze and no one gets upset when they send out 28 coopers tallies and get back 28 weak CUB screwtop tallies.

Either way there was too much confusion for the masses so now its 'like it or lump it'. I was running short on bottles as i disposed most of mine before moving house. i should have been shattered having to try and neck 2 cases of longnecks just so i could bottle my beer. Instead i spent $24 on 2 cases of coopers bottles and have some leftover for comp entrys!

silly you for buyin them fourstar, im sure i put a post in here somewhere saying if anyone needed some bottles to let me know , i juts gave hoppingmad 8 milkcrates full off longnecks..
anyway too late now ..

next time perhaps .

I'm actually near Chadstone, so croydon's not much help, but I have been considering going to one of the melbourne brewers meetings - what time does it start?

Hey Wonderwoman...

Meetings start at 7:30pm... but the formalities generally don't get going until about 8ish. Details below...

The Brewers Den Warehouse,
Factory 11, 12 Edina Road,
Ferntree Gully 3156
(Melways K11)
View Map

Bring a couple of beers along with you if you are interested in getting some feedback - also a good opportunity to try other members beers.

Cheers,

Brendo

HOLY SMACK! I saw your post and was thinking i'd hit you up for some bottles if i couldnt source the PETs. All round, regardless of the situation i think i would do PET again, purely for the convenience of having prepped bottles ready to be filled. If push comes to shove and i have to collect some bottles and clean then sanitise... i'll give you a tinkle barra!

Cheers.

Starts around 7.30pm, but can turn up any time.

Factory 11, 12 Edina Rd, Boronia

Its just off Dorset Rd

Some people have had problems locating the warehouse.

Once you get in the factory grounds its the second left and the last warehouse on the left hand side (just look for the one with all the cars parked around it).

PM me if you want my mobile number just in case.

[brettprevans]

[beerDingo]

Yeah, CM2, I should be around Friday (I'm usually home around 6), but could probably drop it at bottle shop at end of street, if ya want to do it during the day. And yeah, it's only a minute or so up High St past the Croxton. If your gonna come around, just PM me the time...I can give you my phone number if need be. I'd say, if I'm out I'd just be doing last minute organising for the big day...

Jeebus, are we going to be able to do 130+ odd litres of beer???

To paraphrase Jaws..."we're gonna need a bigger mash-tun"

hi mick, its not really a brew day as such, more a pissup day hahaha

nah twice a year we get about 28 people in vic together, we all brew a beer at home and bottle it. then you take all your bottles to the pissup and swap them with everyone else, so basically you come home with 28 different beers (or 26 as the case may be here).

everyone brings different beer on the day for the pissup and we also cook up a massive spit. usually about 3-8 kegs of different peoples beer on the day plus lots of bottles. we also usually brew a beer on the day too to show no All grain brewers how easy it is to do and show them the darkside.

maybe kooinda would like to "sponser" the next one ? couple of slabs (or a keg) of kooi never ever goes astray.

hope your well mate.

Hey Fent, can we pop along to this one maybe? we will bring a slab of Kooi of course. When where etc?
Cheers mate! :icon_chickcheers:

Hutch and me have to brew in front of professionals



Trav of course u can come, especially if your bringing beer (have not found a country supplier of kooinda yet) and have a loose sense of humor u will have a great day.

Good chance for the kooi guys to do some market (guinea pig) research.
