Just been skimming through the thread...sounds like it'll be a good day chaps.

I noticed there's a gas bottle for sale. I'd possibly be interested, if the seller could provide details? We could work out a money transfer.

@ YOB- If the bottle's available, could you grab it?

Doesn't matter if it's an inconvenience...I realise beers are being consumed in industrial quantities. Have fun anyway !

 

[insane_rosenberg]

Left my cooler bag behind!
Can anyone bring it into town for me?
Black ultrasound bag neer the esky.

 

[djar007]

If that perlick is still for sale I will take it.

 

[technobabble66]

Hey hey

Great day !! Fantastic to meet everyone today.

I wonder if the they've added the hops to the boil yet ...? I think the mash was almost finished by 5:45pm when i left - only 4 hours after starting it :unsure:
I now understand the legend of Case Swap Brewing. Most entertaining watching the ensuing capers & highjinks - namely with manticle, Yob, whiteferret & breakbeer crawling in & around various pieces of gear doing the majority of the brewing shenanigans. Also quite educational amongst the entertainment.
What was the final count on Things That Went Wrong?

And massive thanks to breakbeer for hosting. You did a great job, dude. :super:

I hope y'all not too hung-over by the time you read this
Can't wait to start trying the collected beers!! :icon_drool2:

 

[Edak]

Was a great day, thanks to all.

 

[fikuss]

Yeah that was great fun. Highly entertaining day with some tasty beers and good beer geek talk.

That spit was smelling amazing by the time we had to head off.
Great work and thanks for having us all over Glenny (breakbeer).

 

[micbrew]

Fantastic day ! Well done Glen ...... and thanks for hosting

there were quite few setups for me to feast my eyes upon ... yeah some lovely beers as well
hope the brew went according to (swap day) plan ...
great to meet you blokes n gals and cannot wait to sample the swap beers

these get togethers really help drive inspiration ... and better beers

cheers mick

Black ultrasound bag neer the esky.

I've grabbed it shane.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I didn't think to make arrangements for someone to bring my beers home... I shouldn't have assumed, but mick did you bring them back with you?

 

[Vitalstatistix]

awesome day! thanks to the host, nice one mate.

soooo I might start the tasting thread.

[Grainer]

Had an awesome time .. Great to put names to faces .. My wife loved it as well .. Especially the feed at the end
Grainier aka John & Wifey

 

[Charst]

Great Day Night. Thanks very much to Glen for Hosting and Manticle, Yob and Co for brewing.
Bit shaky today but a big feed and a bit of a lay down i'll be into the swaps.

cheers

 

[manticle]

Cheers all, especially Glen for hosting and his lovely lady for putting up with a house full of brewers/drunkards.

For those who witnessed the colossal number of whoopsies and **** ups with the brewing - all cubes got filled with 1062 lovely black wort.

No idea what time. I recommend fermenting with a nice UK liquid yeast like 1099 or 1084

 

[breakbeer]

If the size of my hangover is anything to go by I must've had an awesome time.

Thanks to all that rocked up, brewed, drank, cooked & ate (I was a bit devastated the crackling didn't turn out, but a large empty platter at the end was a good sign) Massive Thanks to manticle, Yob & white ferret for doing the lions share of the brewing

I'm thinking a bit of hair of the dog might fix me up so I might chuck a few of the swap beers into the fridge, not sure where to start?

Did anyone leave their swap beers here? There's at least one full set in my garage, I haven't checked if they're all their though. If I told someone I'd hold on to them then I've forgotten who that was

Meathead, I've got your cube sitting on my porch

I'll post some pics soon

 

[Yob]

Great day again lads, thanks for Hosting BB..



Always an impressive sight



Assorted bits of kit came together from all over the state to make quite an impressive looking rig.



The most cubes Ive seen lined up for a single brew session, pretty much all were filled, there may have even been a bit extra left over :beerbang:



Way to finish off the evening, with a rancid something or other :icon_vomit:



It really was an epic brewday with more stuck mashes than it's ever been my pleasure to witniss, will be happy if it never happens again, Big ups to Manticle for keeping a cool head and getting it sorted, repeatedly... Fecking oats <_< My kingdom for some Rice Gulls



Some folks just really know how to enjoy themselves

 

[Charst]

Haha there's my new avatar when I can drag myself off the couch. Best burner lighter I've seen.

 

[micbrew]

yeah JB, grumpy paul and micbrew should each have a set , :beerbang:
