[Leigh]

Not good missing the swap CM2.

I have faith in you, so no worries mate!

 

[Hutch]

Pleased to announce that a baby girl was born on Monday this week, a hefty 4.3kg (if that were grain, we'd be talking at least 1.045 into the fermenter )
All is well, and expect to be home by friday.
I got a tentative pass-out for Saturday, though still have a 2yo to deal with, and another bub's birthday to attend, so might not be a long stay on my part

FWIW, my case-swap was bottled (out of keg) on Sunday, while SWMBO was passing the time in early labour on the couch. Talk about good timing, and very glad she didn't bite my head off. (Also made sure I set the fridge for Diacetyl rest of a Czech Pils before loading up the car. How's that for priorities!!!)
So, look forward to catching you all briefly on Saturday!
(I'll be the unshaven wreck, with bleary eyes and a chuck-rag on the shoulder )

 

[brettprevans]

Congrats Hutch. Baby beers for you on Sat. welcome to the 2 under 2 club. all the best!

 

[Fents]

Bigguups Hutch and family, new born beers on sat def in order!

 

[AUHEAMIC]

Congrats Hutch. Look forward to catching up and toasting the new addition.

 

[brettprevans]

+1 CM, maybe this should be a pre requisite for the next case swap.

[Leigh]

Sorry guys, haven't had the time to put it up yet. I will post the recipe upon my arrival back in Melbourne Saturday week :mellow:

 

[brettprevans]

[Fents]

I dont really care for recipes unless i want to make someones beer in which case i'll ask them for the recipe.

Mines made of water, malt, hops and love (just for rook) suprise suprise.

 

[Wardhog]

love (just for rook)

Why does he get some and the rest of us miss out? That's it, I'll make sure the bottle of my case swap brew with the mysterious 'X' marking on it finds its way into your case.

Sheesh I will be glad to have had the swap and not have to look at all this beer that I wanted to drink for months but couldn't.

Edit : ONLY 3 MORE SLEEPS

 

[Barramundi]

hahahahahaha classic.

heres a Quote from Peel's missus i got in an e-mail (sure he wont mind me posting it) :

"Your like a bloody kid - Saturdays not christmas you know"

hahahahaha looks like hes looking forward to it just as much as the rest of us! B)

Going to get firewood tommorow so i can keep the drinkers happy and warm. Open bonfire plus one of those gas patio heater thingo's should do the trick.

Oh and theres about 5KG of eye fillet steak to get through. Hope everyone loves eye fillet sanga's!

 

[Fents]

BOM's weather

Saturday Few showers. Min 8 Max 15

DOH!

[mark_m]

Two sleeps to go!

I'll be working Saturday a.m. so won't be arriving till about 1.30
- Fents, do you want my contribution dropped up tomorrow night so sorting can be done early?

Also, can bring some firewood + washing machine drum on a stand for the firepit if needed.

Again can drop off tomorrow night.

Cheers

Mark

 

[Fents]

Yep i reckon drop it in tomorrow night mate so we can get sorting asap.

Doh on the forewood! just went and brought $50 worth of redgum from a bloke on Plenty Rd. Bring a bit more though, you know what its like with men, beers and fires. Already have my Washing machine drum so can you leave that at home.

I'll PM you my mob's number so you can bell me before you swing by.

Bloody hell Fents, i had a big Red Gun tree fall across my back fence a couple of weeks ago and i would say there is still a good ton of wood left that i havn't burnt yet. Since i got rid of the ute i don't have a tow ball on the other cars.

:lol: all good made its all done now and we will be all toasty warm. (pending rain)

 

[nick_lavender]

Hey,

I'm sure someone has already asked, but I just wanted to confirm that we are each bringing along 21 beers for the swap?

Looking forward to it!

Cheers.

 

[Fents]

here we go again.....i'll let peels answer this one but we gotta clear it up asap.

Last year there was 25 participants if i remember correctly so i briought 25 bottles along only to be laughed at and told i really only needed to bring 24 bottles and leave my sample at home.

Seeings as Peels is master swapper on this one i'll let him decide....

Peels'y?
