Vic Xmas Swap

[brettprevans]

on a more serious note. do we have enough dispensing equipment? i know we've got Kleiny's set up but are others bringing picnic taps or gas? or are we running the kegs out as they come?

I dont have any portable keg gear but was bringing a keg

 

[Leigh]

I'll bring a tap and the sodastream setup...

 

[WarmBeer]

Megan Gale apparently likes a beer. And she likes nerdy looking blokes so we must be in with half a chance....

Nerdy looking, skinny, blokes that earn a bucket-load in the highest rating commercial radio stations. That completely rules me out

i wonder how many drop outs we would have had if we had one of these lovely lass' coming to the swap!

Pretty sure I would have been a drop out - there'd be no way SWMBO would let me go if that was on offer at a piss-up.... or maybe she would...

... and back on topic

Case swap beer is bottled, and currently undergoing "accelerated high-temperature priming" in Melbourne stoopid weather pattern.

Taste out of the fermenter was all banana, which is strange, considering it is was Wyeast 1968, and was meant to be an ESB :unsure:

We'll see how it comes along with a couple of weeks of bottle conditioning, shall we?

 

[Leigh]

OK, finally bottled the *******! All set to go now

 

[manticle]

I know this was mentioned but can't remember if it was conclusive. The drop-outs just mean that some numbers will be missing or are we going 1-23? (ie: am I 9 or 10)?

You're 10, Manticle.

No fudging of numbers at this late stage, some people have already numbered their bottles.

 

[manticle]

Cheers.

Remind me to never join in on antoher case swap again! <_<

Just cleaned and sanitised all of my bottles (yet to bottle the beer).

How you do bottlers do it?! If i knew how easy kegs where in the beginning i sure as hell wouldnt have continued with the bottling process let alone homebrewing under that process for that long!

*sigh*

So, time to start bottling. May Ninkasi have mercy on my soul! (oh just kegged a 6% CAP, i think i might be bringing that along for drinkies on the day.) Yes, a CAP again! :beerbang:

Cheers!

Arrgh, i just tripped up the stairs and tore off 1/2 my big toe nail! $#@k it hurtttsss!

Not to worry, i'll jsut soften the pain with some case swap rice lager Oh and Yep, i'm pulling out of the swap!

 

[Leigh]

LMAO.

Nah, seriously, took me 15 minutes to clean, sanitise and fill my keg full last night. Took a further 1 1/2 h to sanitise and fill 30 bottles!

I was multitaksing the case swap bottling and kegging the CAP.

I had filtered kegged and force carbed the CAP in the keg before i even begain bottling (i was 1/2 way thru sanitising.)
