How is everyone's brews going for this?

<snip>

Cheers for now, can't wait for the swap!

JS

Mine's done, bottled & waiting/ageing. :)

I should be able to pick up a few batches on the way to either distribution point. :beer:
 
Just need to assemble my CPBF and will be ready to go. Still undecided on the Brown Ale or APA.

Cheers, Andrew.
 
I've had mine in bottles for a while now, been well over a month since I ran out of my part of that batch so I dont know how it tastes by now, i assume even better.

I have a more recent batch done with the same yeast (3944) but at a (only slightly) higher temp and it's come out tasting reasonably strongly of what i think, from what I've been reading, is phenolic . It's apparently a trait of the yeast but i havent tasted it in the previous two batches using the strain so i dont know if it's the higher temp bringing out that characteristic or if i bollocksed the latest batch.

is there anyone knowledgable about witbiers involved in the swap? I'd throw in an extra one of the latest batch to find out if it's just on the strong end of the style or if its something else
 
Mine's been bottled for about 2 weeks now, so i thought it about time i had a sampler. I was a little disappointed by the clarity, but it should get better with time I guess. I would probably chuck in some more aroma hops next time too. I'm my own worst critic thats for sure!

cheers guys

Mine is kegged, has been for 4 weeks, I won't bottle it until a few days before the drop off. :D


Same here but 2 weeks !

Just have to go and get some bottle's :blink: and build a CPBF :blink:

G'day Lukes, I fill mine from the tap. Haven't had any problems, I just chill the bottles first and pour with as low as pressure as possible. The small amount of foam in the neck will push out the O2. :D

Razz,
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
That's my plan using a modified party type tap with stopper and a bit of tubing on it to fill from the bottom.
I fill a few using this sort of method but are gone in a day or 2. :party:
I just fill up PET bottles and use home made carb caps from tyre valves to carb them up if I am going somewere.
If I get the beer real cold it should not be a problem.

Time for an update.

My brew is ready to deliver, as is Mark_M's, which I also have. He will be away at swap time.

If anyone wants a drop off closer to the city I'm happy to take your brew to either swap venue. :)

vlbaby,
I am up for an ale and will drop it down @ Berazafi's next week.
I will be in N.Z around the time of the swap so look forward to having a sample night when i get back.

Luke
 
Count me in still.

The APA is good to go, drop off at berazafi's.

Cheers,

JS
 
Mine's done.

Haven't sampled yet though :excl:
IRA...Irish Red Ale

Drop off via JS to Berafazi
 
Just bottled my Kolsch from the keg, dropping off to Berazafi on Friday and then we're off to the sunny Gold Coast for a week ! By the way lads, I don't have any fancy labels so I will write my list number down on the caps. No 10 that is. The boys in Q/land are doing this for their xmas case, it should make sorting very easy. Happy holidays, John :D
 
Guys I pretty sure there are some of you eastern drop offs that havent contacted me regarding the drop off.

These beers are getting sorted THIS SUNDAY

If you havnt contacted myself or VLBABY, please do so shortly

Dave
