VIC: XMAS in July 2013 case swap

[breakbeer]

Finally got around to bottling this arvo & unfortunately only ended up with 22 of the lil brown bastards. Pretty gutted about it as I've put a bit of effort into this one.

if more people sign up then it's fine to keep it at 24 swappers, but the last two won't get to sample mine (HURRY SIGN UP NOW OR MISS OUT)

Is this against the rules?

(good news is it taste bloody sensational straight from the fv)

 

[manticle]

If we're at 22 or less now, why don't we cap it? Not sure I'll get much more from mine and I always like at least one to taste so I know what I'm giving.

Anyone else will be welcome to come along on the day. There's only so much beer you can fit in a fermenter.

+1

Oh shit,
I did a simple calc & realised (duh!) that i'll hv enough for 22-odd longnecks, & i should be able to brew either tmrw or nxt week.
We're currently at 21. Am i too late for a swap possie?

Edit: Totally fine if not - i'm happy to bring a few extras in case anyone has spares to swap, & doing a DSGA is perhaps not the most innovative beer for ppl to miss out on...

 

[manticle]

Not if we cap it at 22.

Votes?

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I vote cap at 22...

Cause I only got 22 bottles also

 

[Yob]

22 sounds good to me also

 

[technobabble66]

21 is waaay to small a number for swaps - you're not really getting a good spread of varieties.

But 22 sounds like a perfect number.

& 23 is definitely too many!

h34r:

But seriously, like i said, i'm happy to skip this one if some only can do 21 (given i think the original estimate was for 18).

Edit: Hey, i havnt bottled yet, so there's always the potential for a visit from Mr Cockup & we're down to 21 swaps anyway!

 

[meathead]

I say cap it
Any new people can go on a reserve list
Generally with these things one or two bail for different reasons
Plus the beer I'm bringing is only 18 litres!

 

[manticle]

If no objections.....................?


Going once......

 

[Edak]

I have 25 bottles, but am happy to drink a few of my own. ¦)

 

[DarkFaerytale]

oh, any of those kegs left? i'll take one

 

[breakbeer]

Let's cap it at 22 swappers.

more non swapping people welcome on the day though

 

[DarkFaerytale]

22 is good, that means i get one sample and one extra for breakbeer for holding the swap

 

[breakbeer]

I like your style!

 

[meathead]

Edak. Perlick
Manticle. Gas bottle and 1 keg
Yob. 2 kegs. TBC

[Yob]

If someone else wants to take one, I'm happy with one or will take two if nobody steps up.

 

[Edak]

I might as well take one keg to go with my new tap
That is if you have no problem with that...
