Hey Barramundi,
It might be good to have your HLT+burner+gas there as a backup, as we'll need to heat up at least 250+Ltrs of water for both brews. I hope we'll not need it, and end up leaving it in the car, but could be useful.

You happy with that?

Hey CM2,

You sure you meant me? I already dropped my cases off at Dingo's on Wed night, along with a couple of others.

Plus, it'll be quicker for you to get to Dingo's place Thornbury than to drop them off in McKinnon.

 

[Fents]

can drop em off at my house tonight if you want cm2.

Bugger. I'll shove the 1187 in your case if you don't make it.
Hope to see you there.

 

[Barramundi]

no probs will throw them in, cheers for that guys ...

 

[brettprevans]

Warmbeer - no i didnt mean you. i meant Dingo. sry.

fents - i know its crap. but these are the trials and tribulations of having kids. You just want your hops from me you machine! PM me your address. Are you ok with taking Rooks grain also?

Cheers Hutch

My caseswap boxes are easy to spot. Im probably the only one using Pink Huggies Nappy boxes!

Hope everyones bringing lots of beer for the day too. UNFORTUANTLY i had to tip 60L's last night of an LCBA clone. I'll bring a sample for everyone to taste uncarbonated and hopefully someone can pick where it all went wrong. I fear its not an infection but more of a yeast regime thing, maybe underpitched.

So who's bringing kegs?

Wow 60L mate thats not good at all. Whats the taste you are experiencing?

Im bringing 1/2 a keg of my CAP as thats all that was left. How many kegs you think we'll need? 5-6?

All ive got at home is about a pint of Munich Helles left in the keg, 2 stouts and a keg of Cream ale which doesnt seem to want to drop bright. Ive also got a munich dunkel lagering at my folks house until around september... I want to age it well. Its a funny thing with that Cream Ale because its the same yeast i used for the case swap and was the 1st generation. The 2nd gen was used on the AIPA and thats really bright, minus some hop haze. Usually it would be the poor floccing older generations causing grief. i did however use the floccd out trub so i'd assume they may be healthier/doing what they should be by floccing out.

Ive also got a American Amber sitting on a yeast cake it desperatly needs to get off soon. That will be my job come sunday evening i think, Its looking like im about to start running short on beers. i see a 3 batch brew day coming along real soon. B)

 

[brendo]

I'll be bringing along some bottles for shared consumption on the day... don't think I will be lugging a keg...

[Fents]

just bring your cream ale too. no one minds drinking yeast.

 

[Hutch]

Hutch - i'll ring troy (hairofthedog) and makes sure he brings that green bullet.

Cheers Fents.
Recipes in the wiki look ready-to-go.

 

[brettprevans]

fents you should have kept the LCBA. no one would have noticed if you bought it out half way through the night!

 

[WarmBeer]

I chucked in a half-dozen assorted longies for on the day, to share and sample.

Will bring along a couple of extras as well if it looks like we're going to be short.

Going to taste my toucan Stout tonight for the first time, hopefully it's drinkable now. It's only been conditioning for 2 months, and I've heard this little baby takes a good 6 months to come good.

Otherwise, in the extremely unlikely event we run out of beer, there's a bottle-o down the road from Dingo's.

 

[Barramundi]

havent been to a swap yet thats run out of beer , its more the being spoilt for choice that gets ya flustered not the lack of it ..

 

[Fourstar]

did i remember reading we are putting the kegs in an old fridge turned on its back filled with ice? If so, awesome! We could fit like 10 kegs in something like that!

Sounds like a good idea.
I'll have a mini-keg of Pommie bitter that will sit up on a table at "proper" serving temps, and minimal carbonation.
...goes against the grain for some, but it's the closest thing to cask ale (minus the hand-pump of course).

Is anyone brining a syringe or a pippet for a pocket sparkler?!?! I suppose we could always go searching in the gutters of Thornbury! :lol:
