OK, so I've asked permission from swmbo & she's given the go ahead to host this if you're all up for travelling to Cockatoo?

We have a massive yard, double garage, single & double carports, 3x3m gazebo, 2 tap kegerator, 4 burner bbq, small spit roaster (up to 10kg's), three spare rooms (one with a bed), plenty of space for swags or tents & plenty of music potential (turntables, cdj's, mixer, PA etc)

Have a look on Google Maps, we're near the corner of Bailey Rd & Paternoster Rd in Cockatoo.

I have a single vessel electric brew rig & would be keen to brew a batch on the day. If someone else wants to bring their rig too that's not a problem

Would probably need another spit roaster & a few more beer taps, but other than that we've got most things covered

Can understand if it's too far to travel, just putting my hand up in case no one else offers. swmbo said she'll leave us to it & stay with friends, so no stress about getting on her bad side!

 

[Yob]

how big is the brew rig? as in how many cubes can be filler from it?

It's my experience that multiple rigs are the norm (mostly with some sort of explosion and or collapse happening)

Pleant of people will bring along portable keg systems...

nowhere is too far to travel for good beer and good company.

(thats Manticle on the right)

 

[breakbeer]

It's a 70L pot, but I'm yet to do a double batch on it. Best I've done is back to back single batches

 

[Yob]

back to back on a swap day is a fair mission mate...

 

[breakbeer]

yeah, I wouldn't attempt it on swap day

Sounds good mate.

As mentioned before, the first swap I attended was in Bendigo - it is a VIC case swap not a cbd case swap so jump on it.

As yob mentioned, brewday is usually multiple cubes but people will pitch in with necessary equipment to pad it all out.

Cheers for the offer: I vote sorted.

Speaking of brewday... Whats thoughts? Being July, perhaps something dark for the impending wintery onset?

 

[manticle]

Robust porter?

Or brewing in winter for Spring? Altbier?

 

[Charst]

I have a decent amount of Wey BoPils if it can be used.

Cockatoo sounds perfect to me being a Gembrook boy at heart!

 

[DarkFaerytale]

have we a date for the swap day yet?

 

[Wolfman]

My swap beer is in the cube awaiting fermentation.

 

[manticle]

No date yet. Will be for the host to work out I guess.

 

[WarmBeer]

My swap beer is in the cube awaiting fermentation.

My swap beer is in my imagination awaiting inspiration.

I second that vote.

Nice one breakbeer!
