Xmas In July Lotto

[StraussyStrauss]

No worries NickR - will PM you when I've tasted. Would you like me to post the BJCP sheet in the tasting thread, or just email it to you?

Received StraussyStrauss' bottle this arvo, have stuck it in the fridge to chill down!

Cheers

Ah my little soilder made it. Home in time for the weekend too! My beer has been furthur north than me!

Enjoy the little blighter.

 

[bullsneck]

Thanks for all those who've sent their brews. Perfect timing for the weekend!!

 

[NickB]

OK, StraussyStrauss is the first cab off the rank (and you thought I'd let it sit in the fridge all weekend.....!)

Style 11B Southern English Brown Ale, poured into the classic dimpled Pint Glass...

Hey Nick.

Mate, I've been flat out. As soon as I get to the PO to get a carton to ship the bottle in, I'll be sending you a tasty american amber I've got in the keg

 

[NickB]

No worries!

Have received StraussyStrauss' and Pimpsqueak's today.... Looking forward to some more

Cheers

I'll send mine off to Muggas tomorrow, I'll send 2 (1 brown porter and 1 Belgium dubbel) as I'm not too sure if I was using my CPBF the right way , I put em in plastic and it doesn't seal as well as glass so please drink asap, comments welcome on the forum

cheers

1 bottle of my first ever AG beer sent to Nick B. I love it but id love some discerning feedback.

Also, at $11 a pop Australia Post is the real winner.

 

[NickB]

Thanks C-MOR. Postage is a killer unfortunately. I still have to send my bottle to bullsneck - will get it posted either tomorrow or Thursday depending on when I'm near a PO.

Got two new packages today - from NickR and Kieren. Upon opening found two beers in each! Thanks heaps guys, really appreciate it. Will post feedback when I've tasted, which may not be until next week as I'm working all weekend replacing emergency lighting at Central Station. Oh well, think of the pay etc etc etc....ahem.

Cheers

Muggus, I will post on Monday, mate. Amber Ale bottled up and coming your way

 

[Aus_Rider_22]

Muggus & bullsneck, mine will be in the post tomorrow. Been waiting for the beer to carb up in the keg. You will both get a Schwarzbier in swing tops.

 

[QldKev]

Should add, hopefully Aust post have managed to get mine to their destination by now.

Another beer arrived today, thanks Mckenry!

Bottle survived in tact but a little shaken up. Will keep it in the fridge for a week or so before trying.


Cheers

Somehow I thought Xmas in July would mean one would send bottles in July! As I explained by PM to the recipient of my entry, in this case Nick, I got caught early by this.

Posted my Rye & Oat Robust Porter to you today.

I had said a few more weeks via PM because,
(1) I thought I would be away for work and
(2) I thought batch number one would not be so good and was waiting on batch number two (a different Rye Robust Porter recipe) to do it's thing.

But heck I didn't go away and batch one has mellowed and tasted pretty good out of secondary! Batch number two is still doing it's thing and I am keen to uphold my promise sooner rather than later. So I have sent a bottle of batch #1 to you Nick.
It was only bottled last Sunday so it will probably need a couple of months maturing/conditioning.

Cheers to you Nick, regards Malted.

PS y'all, at $3.50 for the AusPost Winebox and $13 for postage, it is cheaper to play the real lotto.

 

[Spork]

I think mine cost $10.60 for postage. (2kg satchel). Wine box? Pfft. Old beer carton and gaffa tape.

 

[NickB]

I usually use the 3kg Express Post satchel (~12??) and lots of bubble wrap. I only send PET's, and no issues at all so far. Postage tubes are good as well, but not sure what the postage cost is... Will find out tomorrow when I hit the PO and send my beer to bullsneck.

Malted - thanks mate! Conditioning time will not be an issue. Have plenty to drink from this little win, plus I'll have the Xmas in July Swap Beers on the 9th as well. And SWMBO complains there are already too many bottles in the fridge.... She ain't seen nothin' yet!

Muhahahaha!

Cheers
