Gee there was a fair bit of glass carnage. Not most of mine thankfully, just how do you smash a polycarbonate mug????
Dan - shaker glasses ain't as industructable as advertised.

I didn't break anything?

Is the tube lid still there perry?

 

[TidalPete]

I seem to be missing a JG gas line T-piece.
Not that it's such a big deal but if anyone has found it could you hold on to it for me until next time? Would be much appreciated.

Me either, at least not this time. Tube lid is on next doors roof, really not that great as a Frisbee.

We'll see if we can get baabra to drive Incider down for a session as well B)

 

[Parks]

Thanks heaps for the hospitality Mr and Mrs Winkle. It was another great night.

I think the 20max swap number is good. We ended up with 19 and that was a shedload of beers. Looking forward to working my liver way through them over the next few months.

FOUND: Jumper, smelly, black (possibly spewed on)

 

[Aydos]

Perry if you are talking about mine - you just have to throw it on the ground in a fake fit of rage at not being able to sample the brown ale.
I dont recall making any effort to clean up after that - my apologies.
I also do not recall carrying my keg upstairs when I got home last night but sure enough I found it up here after having a mild panic attack that it was not in the car this morning.

Thanks a lot to those who brought along stuff to help the day run smoothly. Good call with the date rolls Nick. Now we need some sucker generous soul to host the Xmas-in-Xmas one.

Should start the tasting thread I guess...

Thanks so much everyone for such a good night. Perry and Anna - you guys are amazing hosts and you have the most impressive bar! See you next time.

PS our swap beers may not have a number on top, but a very descriptive label on the side! We'll get the number sorted next time!

Cheers, Gav and Craig

I had the ginger wit last night - very delicious and refreshing

I read the very thoroughly written label on that and thought - I can't wait to try this one.

 

[Parks]

I'll also note how nice it was having all the same size bottles - made bottle surfing much more enjoyable

Thanks for the feedback. Ive been trying a long time to make an alcoholic ginger beer which tastes good. But it seems as soon as you add ginger in the boil you end up with a cidery flavour I dont find as refreshing. Simply steeping ginger in cold water for 24 hours gets a pretty good result. Decided on this one to add more while in secondary for this reason.

Might actually omit it from the boil completely next time. Wondering whether the type of ginger has an impact also. Anyone who has any experience or feedback please let me know!

Thanks again everyone for a great night as usual!

A lot of fun was had, but being outdone by Rossco The Short and Wombil left a slightly bitter taste to it. At least that lead to the '******* insane' comment which was one of the highlights, so all good.

Special thanks to Anna for cooking that breakfast in the morning, was definitely one of the best I had in a long time.

Perry, I'll save those left over beers for another occasion.

Just found a 5 minute video on my phone, mainly of Wombil playing his 'instrument' and Rowy singing along, plus a good shot of all the spectators. Might upload that a bit later, hoping not to offend anyone.
