Vic Xmas In July Case Swap 2007

Great to meet everyone on the weekend. Thanks for the venue and hospitality Spills. Great pies and sausage rolls!

If the beers we tasted on Sat are anything to go by I'm really looking forward to the case swap beers.

I didn't put my handle on my beers. They're the ones with BA 0507 on the cap.

Also, on the recipe sheet I included, I forgot to mention that I did a 48hr sour mash with 15% of the grist. Not that it added very much sourness... but I tried.

PS... currently drinking my first beer out of the case. About to post to the tasting thread !!!

I tested one of my batch last night & can confirm it will benefit from a little more time to carb up fully.

+1 here. Mine had enough carbonation to persist in the beer, but not enough to produce a reasonable head.
