[manticle]

Wee heavy is not amazing so I've gone full circle and will be submitting a robust porter as I did for my first.

 

[Grainer]

Anyone in the Cheltenham area or close enough able to store my swaps?
I'll be away for the actual day.

Im in Cheltenham..... pm me if you like

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Sadly, I am not going to make on the day. But my beers are ready to come along without me.

Does any either live close to Boronia or will be driving thru on the day that can take mine for me?

And.... How many bottles are we sending along? Is number 8 still empty so therefore 21 bottles?

Or is it less one for ourselves therefore 20.

 

[Yob]

aaah.. the attrition rate is hight this year..

Depending on how much I need to pack anf if I am taking anyone with me, I may be able to assist mate. Will have to get back to you.

 

[manticle]

20 bottles Grumpy Paul, although it is traditional to chuck another bottle of something in for the host. If you want to keep 1 of yours to taste, you could always make it a bottle of something else.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Perfect.will send 21 along.

That leaves one for me.

So disappointed I can't make it though. Sounds like a great day, and it would be great to put faces to names.

 

[Damn]

What time does this event kick off?

I'm new to the homebrew social. Also confirming the etiquette. Anything else I need to bring? (Making mental note not to forget the crates)

We sling the host some money and a bottle. Any other obligations?

Look forward to meeting you all Saturday.

 

[breakbeer]

I haven't really confirmed a start time, what time do these usually kick off?

Was thinking around lunch time, if anyone wants to come early & get some pre-lunch beers under our belt then you're most welcome :beerbang:

 

[Yob]

You really want to time it around the mash in time and work backwards from that for the key people being involved with the brewday.. A noon mash in generally turns into 1.. Working backwards we will need to be milling and heating strike waters at half 10ish or there abouts.. I'd look to be arriving 10ish to assist/cook lunch bbq?

 

[breakbeer]

Sounds good to me

Those contributing grain/ingredients/equipment it would be good if you could arrive around 10am

 

[Yob]

Might be time to send out a PM to all involved with addie and notes like above, could get lost in the thread pretty quickly mate

 

[breakbeer]

OK, just sent out a PM but there were a few names that didn't come up in the auto complete field.

JB
Fickuss (I can contact him)
Shane S

Pretty sure that's it, but if anyone hasn't received a PM from me let me know

Also feel free to point out all the glaringly obvious things I've forgotten

:beerbang:

 

[breakbeer]

Just remembered........

My sister had a party recently & got a keg of LCPA, some dickhead thought the keg was empty & put a glass over the tap handle, no one even tried to pour another beer. So, there's approx' 10 - 15L left in the keg. All I need is an A type coupler & there's a bit of extra beer for all. I have all the other connections, just not the coupler.

Anyone know if it's at all possible to transfer from the LC keg to one of my cornies so it'll fit in my kegerator?

 

[Edak]

I am sorry but I cannot purchase the keg and flow control tap, I got a quote to fix my phone (which I dropped on Tuesday night) and it prohibits me from buying any beer related stuff for a couple of weeks. It's a shame because they are a really good price.

They will have to go to another lucky buyer.

Put a price on it mate?

 

[manticle]

I can't afford the gas bottle either but will still take the keg. Sorry to drop out so close to the date. Things are annoyingly tight at the moment.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

While we're at it ...

• Can we get the last few (No.s 4, 16 18, 21 and 22) to enter what they are swapping?
• Manticle - did you end up changing yours from the Wee Heavy to something else?
