I know this is a **** thing to say about a bloke when he's not here to defend himself, but... Shane S doesn't eat red meat.
Can I request some chicken sausages on his behalf?

Pork is not red. Does that count??

[Whiteferret]

What about drinks on the day? I should have a Golden ale kegged by then and can bring my 2 keg esky if someone else wants to put a keg of theirs into it.

 

[breakbeer]

I've just pulled my rig apart for a proper clean while I wait for my new pump to arrive, I had planned to put a brew on today for the swap day but it'll have to wait until next weekend. Doesn't leave much time to ferment & condition so it'll still be quite young.

There's a 2 tap Kegerator here & I also have a small picnic system setup. More than happy for you to bring your own Kegsky though White Ferret. There's quite a few esky's here too so if people want to bring some of their bottled beers there's plenty of room for them too

 

[Yob]

I got a box of those Headmaster glasses that were on special too so will bring them on the day, much better than having to hire them

Should be filling my little party keg just before the swap so will be quite young also, but hop monsters are best young anyway :beerbang:

 

[breakbeer]

If The Host reckons he can concoct some serious crackling on piece of spitted pig, I'd even b tempted to vote for 2 pork spits...

Would this be to your liking?

Rolled Pork Loin stuffed with Macadamia nuts & dried apricots

In a roll with some Gravy & Apple sauce & you're in flavour country



Just labelled/tagged my swap bottles...

 

[manticle]

Getting set up to bottle mine tonight. Not sure if it's everything I wanted but a bit of conditioning time has helped the Scot on his way. Should have a couple of spares for tasting so if it's not right, you'll all get something else (also bottling a porter tonight and have other possibilities)

 

[technobabble66]

WooHoo !! I stand happily corrected/clarified.

I vote ditch the lamb, go 2 rolled pork loins! :icon_drool2:

I'm more of a mustard w pork kinda guy, but i guess i'll slum it with the gravy & apple

Labels are lookin good too

What's the plan with the food, you reckon - everyone bring $10-30?

 

[breakbeer]

Should have a couple of spares for tasting

God damn, wish I did. It's killing me not being able to sample a beer that's going to other brewers

Technob , I have 5 different kinds of mustard so you'll be fine.

I reckon a 5 kilo spit Pork, a 5 kilo spit Lamb, rolls/bread & a few snags for the hungry mob should land us around $120 - $150 plus a bit extra for charcoal & *cough* salads *cough*

So that's really only $5 - $10 a head

:kooi:

 

[manticle]

Did you include yourself in the count? If you did - there's a tester.

Holy Shitballs Batmanticle, you frickin legend!

Putting bottle # 22 in the fridge right now.

 

[Edak]

LOL can't believe you didn't count yourself Bb must be such a relief to know that you can taste it though...

 

[Yob]

Just having a cheeky sample of the English something *******, carbed up nicely...

Its good to Brew something out of my comfort zone, my independent taste panel (SWMBO) approves it for the swap

 

[meathead]

I was just reading on biab forum that on a day like this it's a good idea to bring your own thermometer and compare temps with others as they can be wildly inaccurate

 

[Edak]

Good idea, anyone got a recently NATA calibrated thermometer? The law of averages doesn't always work in your favour.

 

[micbrew]

Well the menu seems to have been sorted
and the refreshments and activities are in hand

and thanks in advance to breakbeeer for putting your hand up its a generous offer
and will gladly part with my dollars for such a feast

reckon this will be a ripper ! :chug:

but have a few commitments earlier in the day and was hoping to get a rough outline on proceedings , or does it just happen
don't want to miss out on all the good stuff obviously ,


with thanks mick

 

[JB]

Shameful first post into this thread ...

It looks like I won't be able to attend due just finding out little Miss 8's musical theater concerts are on the early afternoon & early evening.

I'm happy to have the #21 beer represented though - or not if that's the consensus, will chat to good mate Mick to see if we can work out logistics.

I'm spewin as I was really amp'd to see the AG brew, as well as meet you good blokes & ask you superbrewers a few questions.

 

[manticle]

You can still swap if not attending.
