Wa Christmas Case Swap 2012

[dent]

Yeah, I'm not so sure hops defeat the lacto quite so as well as they claim. Will be an interesting beer for sure.

I am no Armand from Fontainen nor Boon. But I am giving it my best karaoke rendition.

I tried my recently kegged APA today, it doesn't look very pale, so i'll call it an AA, but it tastes pretty good after being fermented on the yeast cake of my last AIPA. I'll bring along a keg for day beers

Mikey beat me to the chicken wings idea, so i'll have to come up with something else food wise

Hi all,

Beers delivered to Nev's over the weekend. I thought due to unforeseen circumstances I would make the case swap, BUT, circumstances have changed for the better and I have been forced to return home and go to work. All the best to those attending, wish I could make it.

Yeh Mate, everybody is well. Too well maybe, I have been forced to come home and do a few days work.
There came a choice, have prem babies or make the case swap. I am happy with not making the case swap for what I have in exchange.

All the best, Drewy.

Edit: That didn't quite read right. Nicole hasn't had babies yet, hopefully hold off till the first week in January then have them back in Gero.

That tofu with lemongrass and chilli sounds good. Will have to try a bit of that.

Next you will want to live in a tepee and stop showering.

Some interesting news on my brew. Was carrying out some quality control today and it appears this batch is a few shades lighter than my original brew. I've been trawling over my notes and can't work out if I missed something, or if I chose to add something to the first one and didn't write it down. Oh well. It's still delicious, it's just not exactly the same beer that won gold at the PRBS (despite what the label will tell you ). This is going to bug the crap out of me now!

 

[dent]

I just filtered out the pils today (filter since I figured some extra yeast time wouldn't hurt, and I didn't want to have to trust it to get bright on its own - usually they do, but I get some duds too), wasn't quite up to volume in the end. Some of the bottles will be the strong pils instead (6.5%). Both seem to be pretty good, the strong one is more interesting.

They will require consumption fairly promptly (within a week or two I reckon) since I really don't trust the oxidation/infection probability with all the handling involved with kegs and counter pressure filling.

This (stupid) thing will be getting a workout tomorrow, first time used in anger.

 

[jyo]

It's alive!! Nice work, mate.

 

[keifer33]

Its the Frankenbottler!

 

[dent]

Yeah I guess the thing can stab me in the hand too. No safety curtains on this.

 

[thanme]

Wow. What on earth is that??

 

[dent]

Actually in terms of cost I think the parts were about the same as a normal CF filler you'd get from CB or whoever - you can get some cheap pneumatics from ebay nowadays. It was fully automated (put in bottle, press button, remove filled bottle) but I burned out one of the servos last week in testing, so semi-auto it is for now. It is made from wood mostly because I think it is funny.

This is shaping up to be a goodie but at this rate I might have to drive...shudders...

Dude, you are the only person I know to have made a filler.

I am really interested to know your cycles etc. That is the coolest thing I have seen for a good while.
