Xmas Ahb Case

[SteveSA]

All sounds good Stu. Drop by 4th. Collect by 11th. Shouldn't be a problem finding your place. I left a trail of breadcrumbs last time I was there.

All sounds good Stu. Drop by 4th. Collect by 11th.

And, anything uncollected by the 18th becomes the property of wee stu :blink:

 

[Boots]

I'm at Golden Grove, and drive past Stu's place every day to / from work, so if anyone out north wants to drop off at my place that's fine by me.

Mines all bottled - but not tasted yet - after my last brew my 100% involvement is dependant on tasting :angry:

 

[jayse]

I'll either get mine to boots or stu by the looks, then let you guys work out the rest of the logistics on getting them all together and cased.

I have two beers 'Mcfarts 'balls shaven' wee heavy' and Vonfartenburgerbrau's Oktoberfest.

[wee stu]

Just in case anyone has been trying to PM me for details of addy etc - the blockage is now cleared!!

 

[SteveSA]

... the blockage is now cleared!!

Na... too easy

 

[wee stu]

Mines all bottled - but not tasted yet - after my last brew my 100% involvement is dependant on tasting :angry:

To quote GL - and hijacking the sandgroper's thread in so doing:
"Section 3, sub paragraph b of the original Christmas case rules reads"Once you're in, theres no backing down".
So lets stick to the same numbers, there will be a case for you to collect. Up to you, but if I were you I'd contribute the beer to the case anyway. How can you be sure its ********* tasting it on your own? You might be a very harsh critic.
Or, if it is really *********, just add a warning to your label, and you have the opportunity to get 13 different opinions on what the problem may be and what you could do to improve it.
Plebs like me will just drink it and enjoy it. Others like Jayse, who has a pretty good knowledge, can probably identify the dodgy flavours and give some helpful advice.
OK?"

If it is easier for people up North to get theirs to Boots (rather than say GMK) first, thats fine - he can drop them round to me when ready and help me make up the final cases , taking the northerners carton back with him.

Thanx for the high regard there Stu but really iam also just a pleb that'll drink anything :chug: :chug: :chug:
we'll almost

[GMK]

Sounds excellent guys....

Drop off points are Boots - wee stus - GMk - TDA place.
If you can drop off by the 11 Dec04...
Then we can work out everything on 12Dec04.

Is that a good date for you guys - we could converge at Wee Stu's as that is central - i can pick Boots up/cartons up on the way....

How does that sound....

you have a problem with drop of by 4th, collect by 11th Kenny?
what about drop off week of the 4th, collect week of 11th?

the thought of up to 14 brewers converging on wee stu's on the 12th - a quiet Monday night - is a bit daunting, to swmbo if not to wee stu h34r: -

 

[Poodz]

Ill drop mine off to gmk friday 3rd (evening) or sunday 5th (evening). Is that ok ken? Then pick up from you sometime after that.

 

[GMK]

Poodz too easy...

WEE STU - 12 DEc on my calender is a sunday.....

Is this now OK for you...
How many beers you had Wee stu - thi sis no 5 for me...
need i say no more...

 

[wee stu]

WEE STU - 12 DEc on my calender is a sunday.....

Well :blink: , in 2005 it's a Sunday :blink: :huh: :unsure:

It does put a somewhat different complexion on things.
Can people let me know how many would be likely to come on the Sunday to sort through and pick up the beer on the day? And. no doubt, share a brew or two in the process??
Numbers please?

 

[pint of lager]

Who is going to act as postal co-ordinator? Somebody with easy access to the post office and a trolley? I need to know where to post to.

Bottled and almost ready to go. Just waiting for the graphics department to get theiir act together.

 

[Jazman]

im droping mine of at gmk as i aint oof ar from him and jayse i can grab yours and droip em of when i drop a beer for the mini flocs

 

[wee stu]

Being vehicularly challenged, I reckon I'll dob GMK in for this one

Just send it to GMK Enterprises trading as BrewInn Barossa - sure to find him

 

[jayse]

im droping mine of at gmk as i aint oof ar from him and jayse i can grab yours and droip em of when i drop a beer for the mini flocs

Just put that through babble fish Jazman and this is what it came up with.
"I'am droping mine of at GMK's because I'am not far from him, Jayse I can grab yours when I drop a beer off for the mini flocs" B)

Iam cool with that, someone better take them before i drink them. :chug: :chug: :chug:

Jayse :blink:

 

[GMK]

Just in the middle of bottling the Belgian Golden Strong Ale - the other 1/2 to my Xmas Case.

Very Tasty - still a bit cloudy - been in the CC for the last 4 odd weeks.
Lokks a lot like Duvel - taste pretty similar too - except mine is around 6 % - duvel is 8.5%...

Very happy with it.

Will be great to do a comparison with Wee Stu Xmas Case entry to see the difference between the 1728 Scotish Ale Yeast that he used - compared to the 1762 Belgian Abbey II yeast i used.

 

[wee stu]

The Devil in a Kilt - wee stu's McBelgian strong golden ale, got bottled last night.
It is all of 8.5% abv so, if nothing else, it will put hair on your chests

6% GMK, sounds like a second runnings beer to me

 

[Poodz]

Bottled mine friday evening. I can remember why i stopped brewing a few years ago now, cleaning bottles and all that... anyway hope it turns out alright i kegged the rest and will try later this week. Ill drop of the bottles to gmk on the weekend.

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

So it's supply 26 stubbies with 13 copies of the recipe.

Is this correct?

C&B
TDA

 

[wee stu]

OK it is geting close

Crispy has dropped his off at TDA's - and they will both be at my place by the 7th
Pint of lager is sending her's to my place also

Jazman, Jayse, Poodz and GMK are being collected at GMK's

SteveSA, AnthonyMac, JSB, Boots, Kai and wee stu (surprise) are getting their bottles to wee stu's brury

You still in OzDevil? - if so where are you dropping yours?

looks like it makes sense for GMK to bring his haul to my place to sort them out. Soon as we have them together people can come pick them up, one at a time, in groups or en masse. GMK can take the northern brewers cases back to his place for distribution if that makes more sense.

GMK let me know when you want to bring your ones here.
Those who are delivering to me, but haven't yet PM me soon to tell me when you will, and to arrange pick up dates/time also.

 

[SteveSA]

I've got 26 stubbies with the recipe printed on the label. The way I see it is if people don't want to put the recipe on there, they can always supply it using the recipe database or on the board here.

Steve

 

[GMK]

Sounds excellent Wee Stu....

How about Sunday 12 Dec at your place to do the swap....

 

[GMK]

OK

Received the 26 stubbies from:
- Iand
- Jazman
- Jayse

Mine are ready

Getting poodz tomorrow - guys it is all coming together.

If possible - try and leave my barley wine until Xmas next year..

It is good now - but should be sensational next xmas

 

[Jazman]

well to all who get my scottish relase the presuure and let it settle as i have over carbed it (i stuffed up but not a bottle bomb)
so it a bit too gassy for style....

 

[wee stu]

SteveSA's and AnthonyMac's arrived today
Mine is ready
TDA and Crispy due for delivery early next week.
Pint of Lager's should be on its way
Boots, Kai and JSB also all headed my way.

Looks like Kenny and I will be sorting them out on the morning of Sunday the 12th at my place, anyone who wants to help, or pick up their xmas case then that's cool. Really, it is.

Elsewise we can arrange other pick up times during the week beginning the 13th.

 

[GMK]

OK wee stu

We do the xmas case sun morn 12 - then onto the wheatsheaf for a pint...

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

So this is the list:

TDA
SteveSA
AnthonyMac
GMK
Jayse
Wee Stu
Jazman
JSB
Poodz
Boots
OzDevil
Kai
Crispy
Pint of Lager

I hope that is all because I dropped Crispy's and my beers of to wee stu's last night.

TDA

 

[SteveSA]

The Arafat Alt? We're not going to end up in a French hospital are we Mark? h34r:
