Xmas-in-July Caseswap 2013 (SE QLD)

you can practice with one of these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rubber-Fist-/321115282501?pt=UK_Collectables_Ornaments_RL&var&hash=item4ac3f65c45&_uhb=1

Geezus christ guys, I was only suggesting Brybry change over the taps on the empty kegs. However Liam, I am glad you suggested to use the female cast version and not the Rowy version, he is a newbie.

I have one of those in brown. Saves cleaning time.

 

[of mice and gods]

Out of curiosity, why only PET bottles? Have there been problems with people being glassed at these case swaps?

 

[NickB]

Bottle bombs, and dropped bottles. One of last years entrants nearly lost an eye to a bottle bomb just before the swap.... Dangerous stuff!

[Liam_snorkel]

at last count there were 18 swapping?

 

[of mice and gods]

OK, makes sense. They're pretty gnarly when they go off and you never know if someone else has bottled too early, over primed, etc. I don't have time to get anything down for this anyway, but I guess I'll need to get some PET bottles for the next case swap

Bradsbrew, is that a coopers bottle shard or a twist top?

 

[Rowy]

**** me someone mentions the rubber fist and the poms piss off! The pricks used to pant for it. At least us krauts know what to do with a rubber fist hey Florian.

 

[Florian]

Exactly!

How does the keg setup work? Do we need to bring gas/tap etc or just the keg?

 

[NickB]

Self contained set ups work the best. PM Winkle if you need a spot on the bar, if there's one going.

Usually there's some spare gas around if you don't have a portable bottle.

Cheers

 

[lukiferj]

Cheers NickB. I have a pluto gun but no portable gas. Might see what I can rustle up for a keg too. Keen for any kind of feedback.

 

[NickB]

I'm sure you can borrow a few squirts of gas if needed throughout the day. At worst, bring some bottles!

Tidalpete is always happy to share his gas. Just don't let it near your beer.
