Anudder great swap with a great crew of people.
Big thanks to:
- Dom (and housemates) for lending us their place.
- Fents for his organisation and spit roasts.
- The two brewmeisters Hutchy and Kleiny (I'll report on the SMASH once fermented).
- Neill for bringing the malt for me.
- Mick for bringing some Kooinda Pale and some great advice.
- All who brought beers for consumption...some great beers, and those that were less than great, we all learnt where not to go wrong (like sanitation
)
Learnings from the night:
- Do not use fruit boxes for case swap beers (hope the shed cleaned up alright Dom).
- Do not stoke the fire while somebody else is moving hot coals by hand (that was too close!)
- Stir, stir, stir and you avoid a boil over (the brew I looked after didn't boil over
probably more by Hutches instructions)
- When sparging, make sure you have fluid in the mash-tun
- PBW is your best friend
- Fents cooks a bloody mean spit
- iPhone (nuff said)
Bloody great arvo/night...haven't laughed that hard for quite a while!
So when's the next one? I believe Kleiny put his hand up to host.
