Not likely but thanks for the suggestion, i have a yukon thats been in the bottle for 3-4 months, recently i tried 1 and then put the boxes in the most far away location in the shed i can find, i doubt if they will ever get drunk but maybe ill pull another 1 out in 6 months just to remind me why i should never brew this again

I got rid of mine by making guest drink one before they got anything better.

have any of you ever had a "BYO home brew and compare notes" sort of day? i reckon that'd be great fun..

That's what I was thinking previously, but haven't got around to doing anything more about it than just that.

I reckon getting together when the temperature is more civilised and drinking - er, sampling - beer would be a good thing.

yeah, let's definitely keep it in mind for when the weather's a bit better than this. i'd be up for it for sure

Where are you guys located in vic, just general area i wouldnt want you to go posting addresses or anything but ive been keen to get together with a few fellow brewers for ages as noone i know except for the old boy brews, would be good to share a few and try others

Ummm... I'm in ... ummm... Collingwood... - Right opposite the freeway entrance!!

Some of the local pubs are open to suggestion (as Bells Tavern in South Melbourne obviously is) when it comes to finding a room for gathering. I'm kinda fond of the idea of finding the Right Park - small, endearing, near public transport, central-ish, clean toilets...

I am in Eltham / Research Area, keen to try some others brews, but unfortunately i havent been all that experimental lately and everything is kegged.

I'm in Ringwood and you're welcome to come around for a beer.
I can hook up any kegs u want to bring.
It would be great to talk about brewing instead of typing it.

i'm in dandenong.
only recently started brewing, so got nothing spectacular on the go yet, but i'd be very keen to sample some quality home brew to see where i could go, that's for sure

anyone here use msn? add bigfoot16au@yahoo.com.au if you want, just let me know who you are

I have my new keg fridge with two kegs and several longnecks in it. Currently I have some really nice brews in bottles, along with some fairly ordinary ones in the kegs (affected by the hot weather we're having down here in Melb). So I tend to crack the odd bottle. Also I haven't drilled any holes in my fridge for the gas line and I have a pluto gun, so that involves opening the fridge, connecting the CO2 line, and then pouring, vs getting out a bottle.

So I still drink a fair few beers out of bottles. I think I'll always do a mix of bottles and kegs for portability, variety and just being able to age them for longer.

I have very little patience for stubbies though!
